broadcasting their SSID, and

modify and activate a profile check
Enable
and then click
Edit
to configure the settings.
VLAN Tagging 802.1Q
: Check of the appropriate box next an SSID
to enable VLAN tagging on
that SSID.
Note: DO NOT enable VLAN tagging on VLAN ID 1; you will be locked out of the W6x
and will need to reset the device.
SSID
: The SSID is the name associated with the W6x WIFI network. By default, the SSID is
broadcast on the network for easy association by clients. An SSID cannot exceed 32 characters.
VLAN ID
: If you have enabled VLAN tagging on your network, type the VLAN tag ID for this
profile.
Suppressed SSID
: If you don’t want the SSID to be broadcast, check this box. With SSID
suppressed, wireless clients will not be able to scan the W6x in a site survey.
Station Separation
: If you enable this option, clients that connect to this access point will no
longer be able to communicate directly with each other. (This is also known as layer 2 isolation.)
