Powerconnect 3524, VOIP, and VLANS

I have just purchased 7 - Powerconnect 3524 and 3 - 3548 switches for a VOIP phone system that I am deploying. All of these switches will be edge switches and connected to a Cisco 4506 switch before connecting to a firewall.

My goals of deploying this is as follows:

- Isolate data and voice traffic in seperate VLANS so voice has priority.
- Create multiple SSID on WAP to provide access for both internal wireless access and external access for (guests). External access will have direct access to the internet only, no access to the network.
- Only use 1 subnet (172.x.x.x/16) for for entire network.

My office is limited with network connections, by that, there is only 1 connection per cube so the PC will connect to the phone and the phone into the wall jack.

Questions:
- WIth other switches, I believe (may be wrong) that when assigning initial IP address to device, it was assigned to the device. When I booted up the 3524 to assign a IP address, it was assigned to the default vlan 1. Is this standard or powerconnect specific?
- How do I assign multiple vlans to each port?
- In terms of WAP SSID's, assign each SSID a different vlan, then VLAN 30 (internet only traffic through network)

BH: by default, all ports are in vlan 1.  So if, out of the box, you wanted to managed the device over the network on any port, you would assign an IP address to vlan 1

- How do I assign multiple vlans to each port?

BH:

interface ethernet e1
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0
exit


- In terms of WAP SSID's, assign each SSID a different vlan, then VLAN 30 (internet only traffic through network)

BH: I do not understand the question.
