WG103 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point Reference Manual
• Wireless Client Security Separation
If enabled, the associated wireless clients (using the same SSID) will not be able to
communicate with each other. This feature is used for hotspots and other public access
situations. The default settings is disabled.
• VLAN ID
If enabled and if the network devices (hubs and switches) on your LAN support the VLAN
(802.1Q) standard, the default VLAN ID for the wireless access point will be associated with
each profile. The default profile VLAN ID must match the IDs that are used by the other
network devices.
