Configuring Guest Network Wireless Settings

The Guest Settings describe the
Network as described below. Configuring an access point with two different network names (SSIDs) allows
you to implement the Guest interface feature on the Professional Access Point. For more information, see
"Guest Login" on page 121.

MAC Address (read-only) and wireless network name (SSID) for the Guest
Description
Shows the MAC address for the Guest interface for this access point. This is a
read-only field.
Although this access is point is physically a single device, it can be represented
on the network as two or more nodes each with a unique MAC Address. This is
accomplished by using multiple Basic Service Set Identifiers (BSSID) for a sin-
gle access point.
The MAC address shown for the Guest access point is the BSSID for the
Guest interface.
Enter the SSID for the guest network.
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 charac-
ters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to
as the Network Name. There are no restrictions on the characters that may be
used in an SSID.
For the guest network, provide an SSID that is different from the internal SSID
and easily identifiable as the guest network.
If you are configuring an access point for guest access only, without
also maintaining a separate, secure network, you do not need to spec-
ify a Guest network SSID. You will have only one network: the Internal
network.
