The Web interface has a timeout mechanism that automatically logs you
off if it does not detect any activity within five minutes. This mechanism
helps prevent unauthorized users from accessing the Web interface and
modifying the Access Point configuration.
A security profile contains a service set identifier (SSID) and the wireless
security settings for connections to the Access Point. You can define up
to eight security profiles and enable up to four of them simultaneously.
Although you can enable four security profiles simultaneously, the Access
Point will only broadcast one SSID (based on IEEE standards). Wireless
stations will still be able to connect to the other SSIDs, but users need to
manually add these SSIDs to their list of wireless networks.
With multiple profiles, you can segregate wireless stations into groups
and assign them different security settings based on the SSIDs to which
they will be connecting.
