I have done all this, but I can only set one of the SSID's as a guest - even via CLI I can only set one of guest (which seems to translate into broadcasting the SSID)

Question
Cisco Aironet 1200 Multiple visible SSID's
I'm trying to get a Cisco Aironet 1200 to show multiple visible SSID's. I have successfully created two, one of which is guest and connects users to VLAN 10 and is unauthenticated, the private one connects onto VLAN 1 and is using WEP (can be changed but needs to be secre). This works fine, but only in Vista/7 where I can connect to hidden SSID's. The XP Zero wlan config cannot see the ssid even if it's added manually. Is it possible to create two visible SSID's with this unit?

Guest mode will only work on one SSID. Take a look:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US
This may help with your configuration
You need to enable "Multiple BSSID" I think your wireless drivers are not showing you an SSID that is not broadcasted. I get that hit or miss a lot with Windows wireless management here.
You can absoutley set it up the way you are asking. I use Cisco WAPs and run multiple SSIDs. You can trunk the switchport your WAP is plugged into and then create your VLANs on your WAP and associate SSIDs.
I would suggest enabling "Secure Public Packet Forwarding" on your public SSID. That way you won't put your guests at risk from any random person browsing your guest VLAN and attacking their machine. "Secure Public Packet Forwarding" makes it seem like you are the only one on the network.

First, you can log into the wireless access point through a web browser
http://172.16.33.230
Then you need your username and password for the WAP and then configure both SSIDs
Here are some different config examples
http://www.cisco.com/en/US
I would upgrade the IOS version to the latest one for that model and use WPA or WPA2 as the encryption instead of WEP.
