Configuring the Guest Network Wireless Settings
The guest settings describe the MAC address (read-only) and wireless
network name (SSID) for the guest network. Configuring an access point
with two different network names (SSIDs) allows you to leverage the guest
interface feature on the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point.
To configure the guest network wireless settings, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Advanced > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Settings page is shown in Figure 31 on page 98.
2. In the Guest Settings section, configure the following settings:
MAC Address
Shows the MAC address for the guest interface for this access point.
This is a read-only field that you cannot change.
Although this access is point is physically a single device, it can be
represented on the network as two or more nodes each with a unique
MAC Address. This is accomplished by using multiple Basic Service
Set Identifiers (BSSID) for a single access point.
The MAC address(es) shown for the guest access point is the
BSSID(s) for the guest interface.
For the two-radio access point, two MAC addresses are shown: one
for each radio on the guest interface.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
Enter the SSID for the guest network.
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32
characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is
also referred to as the Network Name. There are no restrictions on the
characters that may be used in an SSID.
For the guest network, provide an SSID that is different from the
internal SSID and easily identifiable as the guest network.
