Privacy modes available from the pull-down menu for the multiple SSIDs are:
WPA-PSK
,
WPA-802.1x
, or
Off-No Privacy
.
These additional Wireless IDs are “Closed System Mode” Wireless IDs (see below) that
will not be shown by a client scan, and therefore must be manually configured at the client.
In addition, wireless bridging between clients is disabled for all members of these addi-
tional network IDs.

NOTES:
The Gateway supports up to 4 different SSIDs:
• One SSID is broadcast by default and has wireless bridging enabled by
default.
• Three additional SSIDs are in “Closed System Mode” and have wireless
bridging disabled.
• These network IDs cannot be configured separately in terms of MAC
Address filtering.
• You can configure privacy on one SSID and disable it on another SSID.

WiFi Multimedia
WiFi Multimedia is an advanced feature that allows you to prioritize various types of data
travelling over the wireless network. Certain types of data that are sensitive to delays,
such as voice or video, must be prioritized ahead of other, less delay-sensitive types, such
as email.
WiFi Multimedia currently implements wireless Quality of Service (QoS) by transmitting
data depending on Diffserv priority settings. These priorities are mapped into four Access
Categories (AC), in increasing order of priority:
•
Background (BK),
•
Best Effort (BE),
•
Video (VI), and
•
Voice (VO).
It requires WiFi Multimedia (WMM)-capable clients, usually a separate feature enabled at
the client network settings, and client PC software that makes use of Differentiated Ser-
vices (Diffserv). Refer to your operating system instructions for enabling Diffserv QoS.
When you click the
WiFi Multimedia
button the
WiFi Multimedia
page appears.
To enable the WiFi Multimedia custom settings, select
Diffserv
from the pull-down menu.
