Figure 78   Multiple SSID Network Example
In this section the second wireless network is referred to as the “guest wireless network” and 
user’s connecting to this network are referred to as “guests”.
Multiple SSID is only configurable via commands. The next sections describe multiple SSID 
commands and show a configuration example. See Appendix J on page 437 for information on 
the command structure and how to access the CLI (Command Line Interface) on the ZyXEL 
Device.
7.10.1  Multiple SSID Commands
Use the wlan mssid commands to configure multiple SSID on the ZyXEL Device. The 
commands must be entered in the following syntax:
wlan mssid guestssid <ssid>
wlan mssid mode [0:disable guestssid 1:enable guestssid] [0:disable 
-> intranet blocking 1:enable intranet blocking]
wlan mssid setprivacy type <0:NO 1:WEP64 2:WEP128 3:WEP256>
wlan mssid setprivacy key <1-4> <Key String>
wlan mssid setprivacy defaultkey <1-4>
wlan mssid guest_autoOff < <1:on, 0:off> <Timeout (minutes), 0 for 
-> default>
wlan mssid show 
The following table gives a description of multiple SSID commands.
