Chapter 8 Tutorials

Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the WAP3205 (such as a printer), but they cannot listen to each other’s traffic.

For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers, B is for guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.

A

SSID_Worker

C

SSID_VoIP

B

SSID_Guest

8.5.1 Configuring Security Settings of Multiple SSIDs

The WAP3205 is in access point mode by default. If you want to use multiple SSIDs when the WAP3205 is in universal repeater mode, see Chapter 5 on page 45 for how to set the WAP3205 to universal repeater mode.

This example shows you how to configure the SSIDs with the following parameters on your WAP3205 (in access point mode).
