To enable VAP service:
1 Open the Radio Settings page for the Radio Interface you want to configure.
2 Click Enabled next to VAP1 to enable a single VAP.
3 Click Enabled next to VAP2 to enable a second VAP.
Note: Enabling this option turns on the Virtual Access Point. VAP 1 must be
enable to enable VAP2. A disabled VAP does not accept any wireless connection.
4 Configure the following information for each VAP:
SSID—Enter the Service Set ID (up to 32 alphanumeric characters). Clients
must set their SSIDs to match the access point. The SSID is case sensitive.
The two VAPs must not have the same SSID.
VLAN ID—Enter the VLAN ID number for this VLAN. This parameter
determines what VLAN a client is placed in when the client attaches to this
SSID. This field must not be left blank. Integer values between 1 and 4095
are accepted. If VLAN is not enabled, it is recommended to use 1. VLAN
must be enabled on the access point from the Filter Control page before
this setting takes effect; otherwise, this value is ignored.
Note: If clients have VLAN IDs assigned by a RADIUS server, the
RADIUS-assigned VLAN ID takes precedence over the VLAN ID configured
here.
Closed System— Enabling this option prevents publicly broadcasting the
SSID.
Maximum Associations—Setting this option limits the number of
wireless stations that can associate to the SSID. Integer values between 1
and 64 are accepted.
Authentication Timeout Interval—This parameter determines the time
interval (in minutes) before an authenticated station is removed if it never
succeeds in association. Enter a time interval between 5 and 60.
Association Timeout Interval—This parameter determines the time
interval (in minutes) before an associated station is removed if it has been
inactive. Enter a time interval between 5 and 60.
5 Configure the radio settings for the VAP(s), following the instructions in the
next section, "Changing Radio Settings".
