Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode
For example, you use advanced mode configuration to assign WLANs 2, 4, 5,
and 6 to a particular RP radio. The Wireless Edge Services xl Module assigns
SSID B (for WLAN 2) to BSSID 1, SSID D (for WLAN 4) to BSSID 2, and so on.
Figure 4-15 illustrates this configuration.
Figure 4-15. Manually Assigning WLANs to
an RP Radio
Figure 4-14 shows the Network Setup > Radio screen in which you would check
this configuration.
If you had assigned a fifth WLAN to the radio, then two SSIDs would be
assigned to BSSID 1, and beacons would advertise only one of these SSIDs.
If you want the beacons to include the WLAN with the higher index number,
then you should select the BSSID for the WLAN on the Network Setup > Radio
> WLAN Assignment screen. Then select the higher WLAN from the Primary
WLAN drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 4-13.
