?, ", $, [, \, ], and +.
The allowable characters are:
ASCII 0x20, 0x21, 0x23, 0x25 through 0x2A, 0x2C through 0x3E, 0x40
through 0x5A, 0x5E through 0x7E.
In addition, these three characters cannot be the first character:
!, #, and ; (ASCII 0x21, 0x23, and 0x3B, respectively).
Trailing and leading spaces (ASCII 0x20) are not permitted.
This means that spaces are allowed within the SSID, but not as the first or last
character, and the period "." (ASCII 0x2E) is also allowed.

VLAN IDs

Each VAP is associated with a VLAN, which is identified by a VLAN ID (VID). A VID
can be any value from 1 to 4094, inclusive. The WAP121 supports five active
VLANs (four for WLAN plus one management VLAN). The WAP321 supports nine
active VLANs (eight for WLAN plus one management VLAN).
By default, the VID assigned to the configuration utility for the WAP device is 1,
which is also the default untagged VID. If the management VID is the same as the
VID assigned to a VAP, then the WLAN clients associated with this specific VAP
can administer the WAP device. If needed, an access control list (ACL) can be
created to disable administration from WLAN clients.

Configuring VAPs

To configure VAPs:
Select Wireless > Networks in the navigation pane.
Select the Enabled check box for the VAP you want to configure.
—Or—
If VAP0 is the only VAP configured on the system, and you want to add a VAP, click
Add. Then, select the VAP and click Edit.
Configure the parameters:
• VLAN ID—The VID of the VLAN to associate with the VAP.
