The access point supports up to eight virtual access point (VAP) interfaces
numbered 0 to 7. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can
be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security
settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to all eight VAP
interfaces.
The VAPs function similar to a VLAN, with each VAP mapped to its own
VLAN ID. Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups
or application traffic. Each VAP can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby
the clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a
physical access point.
The radio channel settings for the access point are limited by local

OTE
regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available.
Refer to "General Specifications" on page C-1 for additional information on
the maximum number channels available.
