iPad has a problem to access Cisco 1231 AP

We have setup Enterprise wireless and public wireless on our 1231 AP. All iPad tablets have a problem to access the Enterprise Wireless. The only fix we find is setup Enterprise wireless as guest mode. The problem is we can't setup both enterprise and public as guest mode. In other word, we can setup only one guest mode for Enterprise wireless or Public Wireless. If we setup Enterprise as guest mode, then people have a problem to access the public wireless. Any suggestions?

Resolution: If you want to broadcast multiple SSIDs then you have to set the mbssid. For example

Set the following commands:
int dot0
mbssid

dot11 ssid EnterpriseWireless
guest-mode

dot11 ssid Publicwireless
mbssid guest-mode

To setup multiple SSIDs using web utility, login Cisco AP utility by opening an Internet Browser. Navigate to Security>SSID Manager. Under Guest Mode/Infrastructure SSID Settings, select a wireless in Set Single Guest SSID and check Multiple BSSID. Click Apply to save the settings.
