9. Enter a unique Network Name (SSID) between 1 and 32 characters. This parameter is mandatory.
NOTE: Do not use quotation marks (single or double) in the Network Name; this will cause the AP to misinterpret the
name.
10.Enter a unique VLAN ID. This parameter is mandatory.
• A VLAN ID is a number from -1 to 4094. A value of -1 means that an entry is "untagged."
• You can set the VLAN ID to "-1" or "untagged" if you do not want clients that are using a specific SSID to be
members of a VLAN workgroup.
• The VLAN ID must match an ID used by your network; contact your network administrator if you need assistance
defining the VLAN IDs.
11. Specify a QoS profile. See the
12.Select the status of Closed System to control whether the SSID is advertised in the beacon and manage the way
probe requests are handled, as follows:
• Enable: The SSID is not advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond to probe requests with an SSID only if
the client has specified the SSID in the probe request. If the client sends a probe request with a null or "ANY"
SSID, the AP will not respond.
• Partial: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will not respond to "ANY" SSID requests. The Partial
setting reduces network traffic by eliminating the repeated broadcast of SSIDs in probe responses.
• Disable: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond with each configured SSID, whether or
not an SSID has been specified in the probe request.
13.Enable Broadcast Unique Beacon using the drop-down menu. When enabled, Broadcast Unique Beacon allows the
broadcast of a up to four unique beacons when the AP is configured for multiple SSIDs. If Closed System (above) is
set to Partial or Disable, each beacon (up to four) will be broadcast a single SSID. If more than four SSIDs are
