Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode
Enabling WLANs Using Normal Mode
In normal mode, to configure and activate WLANs, you complete these steps:
1. Configure the SSID, VLAN, and other options for each WLAN that you
want to include in your network. See “Configuring a WLAN” on page 4-26
for instructions on how to do so.
2. On the Network Setup > Radio Setup screen, select the WLANs and click
Enable.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module then automatically implements this
process:
1. It assigns the SSID for WLAN 1 to the first BSSID on every radio on every
adopted RP.
2. It assigns the SSID for WLAN 2 to the second BSSID on every RP radio. In
our example, it assigns SSID B to BSSID 2.
3. This process continues for up to four WLANs.
The figures below illustrate this process.
