13.6 Configuring “Guest” Network Wireless Settings
The Guest Settings describe the MAC Address (read-only) and wireless network
name (SSID) for the Guest Network as described in Table 13.3. Configuring an
access point with two different network names (SSIDs) allows you to leverage the
Guest interface feature on the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway. For more information,
see Chapter 14: “Setting up Guest Access”.
13.7 Updating Settings
To update wireless settings:
1. Navigate to the 802.11 Basic Settings page.
2. Configure the wireless settings as required.
3. Click the Update button to apply the changes.
Field Description
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 AP, 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 identifi-
able as the “guest” network.
