3.5.3.2 Dual-SSID Functionality (AP mode only)

The Orbit MCR supports up to two SSIDs to be configured when the Wi-Fi interface is set to an Access
Point. The first SSID should be reserved for high throughput data paths. The second SSID is intended to
support auxiliary applications such as a dedicated management connection or guest LAN access. The
following example demonstrates having a second Wi-Fi AP with the SSID:
