Access Control – The Wireless Pseudo VLAN 
 
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, the access point 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, the access point allows you to 
define Tag VLANs in addition to the Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Node and the 
Wireless Pseudo VLAN Per Group
