Set up the multiple SSID

This product can register and use a maximum of four SSID. Setup the 2nd or later SSID if needed, and conduct the communication control and the security setup.


About SSID
SSID is a common group name for an access point and a wireless client to communicate in wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN devices of the same SSID can communicate each other.

About multiple SSID
It is a function which can be used as if there were two or more wireless access points registering two or more SSID into one wireless access point.

 

Kind of Access Point Security which can be set up Default setting

Access Point 1

SSID: planexuser
Key: Please check the default setting value here.
Access Point 2 WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK 		Authentic method: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPS function: Enable
SSID: planexuser2

When it is necessary to use WEP, set up "Access Point 1" by WEP.

When connecting a wireless client to "Access Point 1", "Access Point 3", or "Access Point 4", the method of "Easy set up with button (WPS setup)" cannot be used. Please set up the same wireless setting as the setting of this page to a wireless client.

 
 

This product treats four SSID which can be set up as "Access Point 1" to "Access Point 4".

 

Click "Basic Settings" of "Wireless LAN" - "Access Point 2" on the setup window.


(1)Enter arbitrarily network name* with English one byte characters.
(2)Mark the checkbox of "Enable".


*Can be entered up to 32 characters with English one byte characters.

Since SSID is needed when setting it to the PC which perform wireless LAN communication, we recommend you to take a note in a memorandum.

Set up the following items if needed.

Hide SSID When SSID doesn't want to be seen by the third party, mark the check box unlawful computer access can be prevented.
Default setting: OFF
LAN Blocking Mark the check box when cutting off the communication to the wired LAN terminal from the wireless LAN terminal.
Default setting: OFF
Internet Blocking Mark the check box when cutting off the communication to the Internet from a wireless LAN terminal.
Default setting: OFF
SSID Blocking Mark the check box when cutting off the communication between the wireless LAN terminals of different SSID.
Default setting: OFF
Wireless Separating Mark the check box when cutting off the communication between wireless LAN terminals.
Default setting: OFF



Set up the encryption (security).


About WPA/WPA2
WPA/WPA2 is a security standard of the wireless LAN which strengthened WEP. In WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, an encrypting key is used to be called a pre-shared key and set an access point and the encrypting key how are common to a client like WEP.
In WPA2, "AES" is standardized and it is security more solid than WPA.

*This product supports the IEEE802.1X certification, but it is out of support.

The preset value set up here is needed when setting it to the PC which performs wireless communications. We recommend you taking a note of the value.

(1)Select "WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK".
*"WPA-PSK/WPA2" is authenticated using a RADIUS server. It is out of support.

(2)Choose among "TKIP", "AES", "TKIP/AES".
*Security strength of AES is higher than TKIP.
*If TKIP/AES is choosen, they can communicate mutually in the network where "TKIP" and "AES" were intermingled.

(3)Enter the pass phrase*.
*The half-width alphanumeric character string of 8 to 63 characters, or the hexadecimal number of 64 figures (A to F, 0 to 9).

- When setting up WEP in an Access Point 1





(1)Enter arbitrary network name* by a half size alphanumeric character (Up to 32 characters).
* Put a check into the right "Enable".
(2)Select "Open System" or "Shared key".
"Open System": It authenticates and communicates irrespective of the existence of the WEP key.
"Shared key": It authenticates by using the WEP key, and communication is possible only when it has the same WEP key.
(3)Select the length of a key from "WEP (64 Bit)" or "WEP (128 Bit)".
*The key for the larger number is longer than that of smaller one, and the security for the larger number is higher than that of smaller one.
(4)Select from "KEY1" to "KEY4".
*"KEY1" is usually chosen.
(5)Enter the WEP key arbitrarily.
"When WEP (64 bits)" is chosen at (3), the half-width alphanumeric-characters sequence of five characters or the hexadecimal number (A to F, 0 to 9) of 26 figures are entered.
"When WEP (128 bits)" is chosen at (3), the half-width alphanumeric-characters sequence of 13 characters or the hexadecimal number (A to F, 0 to 9) of 26 figures are entered.

Click [Apply].

▼
The message of "Please wait for a while." is displayed and countdown starts.
Please wait for a while until the count is set to "0".

Close the window.

This completes the setup.

When setting the 2nd or more SSID, set up in the same procedure as the above.


Please conduct the same wireless setup set as this product here to a wireless client. Wireless communications can be performed by making this product and a wireless client the same setup.
