can have a maximum of 32 radio profiles on the NWA3000-N series AP.
• SSID - This profile type defines the properties of a single wireless network
signal broadcast by an AP. Each radio on a single AP can broadcast up to 8
SSIDs. You can have a maximum of 32 SSID profiles on the NWA3000-N series

It controls the encryption method required for a wireless client to associate itself
