4.4.1 Access Control – The Wireless Pseudo VLAN

A VLAN is a group of PCs or other network resources that behave as if they

were connected to a single network segment.

Those stations which are assigned to the same VLAN share network resources

and bandwidth as if they were connected to the same segment. Conversely,

only the stations within the same VLAN can access each other.

A Wireless Pseudo VLAN acts by segregating a single wireless LAN into

multiple virtual LANs so that communication is possible only among wireless

clients within the same VLAN.

When operating in the Gateway mode, Compex WPE54AG lets you create

VLANs containing either a single user, and referred to as Wireless Pseudo

VLAN Per Node, or a group of users, termed Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per

Group.

When operating in the Access Point mode, Compex WPE54AG allows you to

define Tag VLANs in addition to the Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Node and the

Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Group.
