    Default Multiple SSID on one AP

    I am using mutliple SSID's on my HP 420 Accesspoint.
    One SSID needs to be "Default"
    We are using hidden and broadcasted SSID's

    Insidder only detects the Default SSID, but does not regognizes the additional SSID's
    When the Default SSID is broadcasted, its name is shown in InSSider, when the hidden SSID is set als default, an unknown SSID is detected.
    So Inssider does detect both SSID's, just not at the same time.

    Is there a tric of fix for this?

    Default

    The problem is that the HP 420 only has 1 Wireless MAC address:

    A: The 420 only has 1 wireless MAC address. Only the SSID that is configured as primary will be advertised in open mode. The other SSIDs will respond to probe requests.
    The other SSIDs aren't broadcast in the beacon. This means inSSIDer won't see the other SSIDs.
