Menu path: Setup > Network > LAN Interfaces >Default Wi-Fi network
In the Default Wi-Fi network and Additional Wi-Fi networks areas, you can configure wireless network connections:
- Select an Encryption Method.
- Enter the Network Name (SSID).
- Set further parameters depending on the encryption method selected.
For WPA(2) Enterprise encryption, the client certificate can also be requested and administered via SCEP. See Network/SCEP and our Certificate Enrollment and Renewal with SCEP (NDES) How-To.
The connections defined under Additional Wi-Fi networks have the same value as the connection entered under Default Wi-Fi network. Here, you can pre-configure wireless connections which are available for selection by the user in the Wireless Manager.
The connections configured in the Wireless Manager are likewise shown in the Additional Wi-Fi networks list and are automatically flagged as User-defined.
Hidden wireless networks (WLAN without SSID broadcasting) can also be connected to. Pre-defined connections can be used without disclosing the network name to the user. For user-defined connections, the user must however know the name of the hidden network.
To pre-configure connections to hidden networks, proceed as follows:
In the IGEL Setup, go to Network > LAN Interfaces > Wireless > Default Wi-Fi network and set the AP Scan Mode parameter to No Broadcast.
Additional connections can be configured in the Other Additional Wi-Fi networks dialog.
