Configuring the Wi-Fi Access Service

a. Configuration in Detail:Select a specified SSID, modify corresponding configuration items, and click Config to the device.

How to configure Wi-Fi services through the NMS

Parameter	Description
SSID name	Indicates the name of a wireless network. It is used to distinguish different wireless networks. It consists of a maximum of 32 characters, excluding Tab characters.
Enable SSID	Indicates whether to activate a connection.
Associated Device Nubmer	Specifies the number of connected wireless terminals. Range: 1-32.
Broadcast SSID	Enables or disables the SSID broadcast function. If the option box is selected, it indicates that the SSID broadcast function is enabled. The ONT periodically broadcasts its SSID, that is, the name of the wireless network. In this way, any wireless terminal can find and then connect to this wireless network. If the option box is not selected, it indicates that the SSID broadcast function is disabled. The SSID is hidden, and wireless terminals cannot find this wireless network. The SSID can be obtained only by sending a request.
WMM Enable	Enables or disables multimedia.

b. Advance Configuration:

Select a specified SSID, modify corresponding configuration items, and click Config to the device.

Configuring the Wi-Fi Access Service

Parameter	Description
Transmitting Power	Indicates the Tx power of wireless signals. Options: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. A larger value indicates better coverage of wireless signals.
Regulatory Domin	Indicates the country code of a wireless network.
Channel	Indicates the channel of a wireless network. The channel varies with the value of region.
Channel Width	Indicates the length of a wireless frequency band. Options: auto 20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz.
Mode	Indicates the supported wireless network mode. Options: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11b/g, or 802.11b/g/n.

c. Authentication Configuration:

Select a specified SSID, modify corresponding configuration items, and click Config to the device.

Configuring the Wi-Fi Access Service

Parameter	Description
Authentication Mode	Indicates the authentication mode for a wireless terminal to request access to a wireless network. Options: Open, Shared, WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA2 Pre-Shared Key, WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, and WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. The default value is Open, which indicates that a wireless terminal can access the network without authentication.
Encryption Mode	Indicates the encryption mode for a wireless terminal to request access to a wireless network. The encryption mode and encryption parameters vary with the authentication mode. If the authentication mode is set to Open, the encryption mode can be set to None or WEP. If the authentication mode is set to Shared, the encryption is WEP. If the authentication mode is set to WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA2 Pre-Shared Key, WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, or WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, the encryption mode can be set to AES, TKIP, or TKIP&AES.
