Professional Access Point Administrator Guide
Field
Description
Broadcast SSID | Select the Broadcast SSID setting by clicking the "Allow" or "Prohibit" radio but- | |
| ton. | |
| By default, the access point broadcasts (allows) the Service Set Identifier | |
| (SSID) in its beacon frames. | |
| You can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from auto- | |
| matically discovering your access point. When the access point’s broadcast | |
| SSID is suppressed, the network name will not be displayed in the List of Avail- | |
| able Networks on a client device. Instead, the client must have the exact net- | |
| work name configured in the supplicant before it will be able to connect. | |
| Note: The Broadcast SSID you set here is specifically for this Virtual Network | |
| (One or Two). Other networks continue to use the security modes already | |
| configured: your original Internal network (configured on Advanced menu’s | |
| Ethernet [Wired] page) uses the Broadcast SSID set on Advanced menu’s | |
| Security page. | |
|
| |
Security Mode | Select the Security Mode for this VLAN. Select one of the following: | |
| • | None |
| • | Static WEP |
| • | IEEE 802.1x |
| • | WPA/WPA2 Personal (PSK) |
| • | WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS) |
| Note: The Security mode you set here is specifically for this Virtual Network | |
| (One or Two). Other networks continue to use the security modes already | |
| configured: | |
| • Your original Internal network uses the Security mode set on the Advanced | |
|
| menu’s Security page. |
| • If a Guest VLAN is configured, it always uses None. | |
| For a comparison of the available security modes, see “How Do I Know Which | |
| Security Mode to Use?” on page 101. | |
