Basic Service set
5.5.4 MBSSID
Traditionally, you need to use different APs to configure different Basic Service Sets (BSSs).
As well as the cost of buying extra APs, there is also the possibility of channel interference.
The LTE Device's MBSSID (Multiple Basic Service Set IDentifier) function allows you to use
one access point to provide several BSSs simultaneously. You can then assign varying QoS
priorities and/or security modes to different SSIDs.
Wireless devices can use different BSSIDs to associate with the same AP.
Notes on Multiple BSSs
l
A maximum of eight BSSs are allowed on one AP simultaneously.
l
You must use different keys for different BSSs. If two wireless devices have different
BSSIDs (they are in different BSSs), but have the same keys, they may hear each other's
communications (but not communicate with each other).
l
MBSSID should not replace but rather be used in conjunction with 802.1x security.
5.5.5 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
Your LTE Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a
secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi
Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both
devices must support WPS (check each device's documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in
its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows
