7.5 Using Multiple SSIDs on the WAP5605

You can configure more than one SSID on a WAP5605 when it is operating in access point mode.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the WAP5605 as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and MAC
filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the WAP5605 represents a different access point/wireless
network to wireless clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the WAP5605 (such as
a printer), but they cannot listen to each other's traffic.
For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers,
B is for guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.
