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.

☛ NOTE:

The Gateway supports up to 3 different SSIDs:

• One SSID which is broadcast by default and has wireless bridging

the client computers; the clients will scan the available channels seeking access points

using the same SSID as the client.

Enable Closed System Mode

If enabled, Closed System Mode hides the wireless network from the scanning features of
