Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode
c. You can select which SSID RPs include in beacons by selecting a
WLAN from the Primary WLAN drop-down menu.
d. Repeat this step for the other BSSIDs until you have assigned all the
WLANs that you want this radio to support. Generally, you should
assign at least one WLAN to each BSSID before you add multiple
WLANs to a BSSID. This maximizes the number of SSIDs that RPs can
beacon to wireless stations.
7. Click the Apply button, and then click the Close button.
The screen such as that in Figure 4-14 is displayed; you can check your
configuration in the Assigned WLAN area.
Figure 4-14. Selected WLANs Assigned to Radio 1 (Using Advanced Mode)
When you assign WLANs to the radio as a whole, as opposed to the BSSID,
the Wireless Edge Services xl Module allocates SSIDs to the radio’s four
BSSIDs much as it does in normal mode. However, only the SSIDs of the
WLANs that you selected are part of the process. Instead of always assigning
WLAN 1 to BSSID 1 and WLAN 2 to BSSID 2, the module assigns the SSID for
the enabled WLAN with the lowest index number to BSSID 1, and so on.
