➔  The  Guest  WLAN  is  designed  for  guests  and  can  access  the  internet  ONLY.  It  uses  a  captive  portal 
authentication and a portal page will pop up when browsing any website. Guest can access the Internet 
only after inputting the access code or user name and password provided by the network administrator. 
The splash page can be customized to the customer’s style. 
➔  The  Voice  WLAN  is  designed  for  VoIP  application  ONLY.  It  will  authorize  voice  traffic  to  be  highest 
priority  in  QoS  profile  so  as  to  provide  a  stable  voice  connection.  The  SSID  will  be  hidden  and 
inaccessible to both internal and external networks.  
➔  ALL APs usage and client connections are visible in the UI dashboard.  
 
According to the topology, the clients are separate in three service VLANs (For example: VLAN 100, VLAN 200 
and VLAN 300) while APs are in the management VLAN (default VLAN of the switch ports, for example: VLAN 
1). The APs and clients will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server via the router. The router is the 
default gateway for APs and clients. Following are the detailed configuration steps: 
➔  Step1: Configure a PoE switch as follows: 
1)  The ports used to connect the APs have their default (untagged) VLAN as the AP management VLAN; 
2)  Add tagged VLANs to the ports for all WLANs that will be created on the APs; 
3)  Tag (trunk) all of the  user and AP-Management VLANs on the uplink between the switch and the 
router. 
➔  Step2: Connect all APs to the PoE switch and all APs will obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. 
Login to the AP group, change the administrator password and initially create WLAN ‘Employee’ using 
the wizard. Refer to Connect to pre-defined SSID and browse URL and Using the Initializing Wizard for 
details. Refer to Modify Your WLAN to set the mapping VLAN for WLAN ‘Employee’.  
➔  Step3: Create WLAN ‘Guest’ as per the steps in ‘Create New WLAN’ and configure the captive portal 
authentication according to ‘How to configure captive portal authentication’. 
➔  Step4: Create WLAN ‘Voice’ as per the steps in ‘Create New WLAN’.  
➔  Step5: Configure ACLs according to Access Control List to restrict the access domain of each WLAN.  
➔  Step6: Check AP, Client and monitor the performance in the dashboard. Refer to Dashboard Overview 
for detail.
