its SSID. Broadcasting the SSID makes it possible for clients to connect
to your wireless network without first knowing the SSID.

FortiWiFi-50B, 60A, 60AM, and 60B unit” on page 122. For WEP64 and
WEP128 the security mode includes a key index which just indicates that
a key has been defined for this wireless interface.
Adding a wireless interface to a FortiWiFi-50B, 60A, 60AM, and 60B unit
On FortiWiFi-50B, 60A, 60AM, and 60B units, you can use the following steps to
support up to four SSIDs by adding up to three wireless interfaces (for a total of
four wireless interfaces). Each wireless interface should have a different SSID and
each wireless interface can have different security settings.
Note: All wireless interfaces have the same wireless parameters. This means that all
wireless interfaces have the same setting for band, geography, channel, Tx power, and
beacon interval.
