Virtual AP Setup

For each Virtual AP, administrators can configure SSID, VLAN tag(ID), SSID broadcasting,
Maximum number of client associations, security type settings.
Click Edit button on the Edit column, and then a Virtual AP setup page appears.
 ESSID: Extended Service Set ID, when clients are browsing for available wireless
networks, this is the SSID that will appear in the list. ESSID will determine the
service type available to AP's clients associated with the specified VAP.
 Hidden SSID: By default, it's "Disable". Enable this option to stop the SSID
broadcast in your network. When disabled, people could easily obtain the SSID
information with the site survey software and get access to the network if security
is not turned on. When enabled, network security is enhanced. It's suggested to
enable it after AP security settings are archived and setting of AP clients could make
to associate to it.
 Client Isolation: Select Enable, all clients will be isolated from each other, that
mean all clients cannot reach to other clients. Below Figures depict Client Isolation
and AP Isolation
 IAPP:

Maximum Clients: The default value is 32. You can enter the number of wireless
clients that can associate to a particular SSID. When the number of client is set to 5,
only 5 clients at most are allowed to connect to this VAP.

VLAN Tag (ID) : By default, it's selected "Disable".
This system supports tagged Virtual LAN (VLAN). A valid number of 1 to 4094 can be
entered after it's enabled. If your network utilize VLANs you could tie a VLAN Tag to a
specific SSID, and packets from/to wireless clients belonging to that SSID will be tagged
with that VLAN Tag. This enables security of wireless applications by applying VLAN Tag.

4 different WEP keys can be entered at the same time, but only one is chosen.
o WEP Key #: Enter HEX or ASCII format WEP key value; the system supports up to
4 sets of WEP keys.

WPA-PSK (or WPA2-PSK) : WPA (or WPA2) Algorithms, allows the system accessing
the network by using the WPA-PSK protected access.
o Cipher Suite: By default, it is AES. Select either AES or TKIP cipher suites
