Setting WIFI Parameters for endpoint for TE endpoint

Procedure

1. Choose System Settings > Network and click the Wi-Fi Settings tab.
2. Set the Wi-Fi parameters.

   To set your endpoint to Wi-Fi Client mode, perform the following steps:

   1. Set Wi-Fi Client to Enable.

      Your endpoint automatically scans for available wireless routers and lists the found wireless routers under Select WLAN.

      If you need to set a static IP address for your endpoint, go to 2.b. Otherwise, go to 2.d.

   2. Set Connection type, network mode parameters listed in Table 1.

      Table 1 Network mode parameters

      Parameter	Description	Setting
      Connection type	Specifies the mode in which the endpoint obtains an IP address. Static IP: The network administrator assigns an IP address to the endpoint. If you select this option, you must also set IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address. Dynamic IP: The endpoint automatically obtains an IP address over the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If you select this option, a DHCP server must be available on the network.	The default value is Dynamic IP. Select Dynamic IP unless special network requirements are imposed.
      IP address	Specifies the IP address for the endpoint to connect to a WLAN access point to implement communication.	No default value is set for this parameter. This IP address and the IP address of the WLAN access point must be on the same network segment. For example: if the IP address of the WLAN access point is 192.168.1.100 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, you must set Local IP address to 192.168.1.X. X can be any integer ranging from 0 to 255 except 100.
      Subnet mask	Specifies the subnet mask for the endpoint IP address. A subnet mask divides the IP address into a network address and a host address.	No default value is set for this parameter.
      Gateway address	Specifies the gateway address that corresponds to the endpoint IP address.	No default value is set for this parameter.

   3. Click Save.
   4. Under Select WLAN, select the wireless router to connect to and click Connect.

      If the wireless router you want to connect to is not listed, select Others, click Connect, and manually add the router.

   5. When prompted, set the authentication parameters listed in Table 2.

      Table 2 Authentication parameters

      Parameter	Setting
      Common authentication mode
      Security Key or Password	Set this parameter if the authentication mode of the connected wireless router is set to WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WEP. Obtain the value from the wireless router administrator.
      802.1x authentication mode
      EAP method	Consult the wireless router administrator about the detailed settings. The authentication mode can be certificate authentication or password authentication. If certificate authentication is used, import a wireless certificate (with the prefix of 802.1x) that matches the settings of Identity. For details about how to import a certificate, see Importing a Certificate. If password authentication is used, set Identity and Password.
      Phase 2 authentication
      CA certificate
      User certificate
      Identity
      Password

   6. Click OK.

      When your endpoint is connected to the wireless router, the status of the router is connected.

   To set your endpoint to Wi-Fi Hotspot mode and enable it to provide router functions, perform the following steps:

   1. Set Wi-Fi Hotspot to Enable.

      If you enable Wi-Fi Hotspot, wireless endpoints, such as the VPM220W, tablets, and PCs, can access a Wi-Fi network by connecting to this hotspot.

   2. Click Whitelist and perform the following operations:
      • Click Add, enter the MAC address of the device that is to connect to this hotspot, and click OK.
      • Select a device and click Delete. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.
      http://localhost:7890/pages/CEF0127H/09/CEF0127H/09/resources/public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif NOTE:

      Only the device in the whitelist is allowed to connect to this hotspot.

   3. Set the parameters under Settings listed in Table 3.

      Table 3 Wi-Fi hotspot parameters

      Parameter	Description	Setting
      SSID Number	Specifies the name of the Wi-Fi network to which your endpoint connects.	The default value is TE30_wifi_ap. The value is a string of 1 to 32 characters, containing digits, letters, and special characters, such as @ # %.
      Channel	Specifies the channel to transmit data through Wi-Fi signals. If you select Auto, your endpoint automatically selects the optimal channel.	The default value is Auto. Retain the default value.
      Identity authentication mode	Specifies the identity authentication mode used on the Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides greater security than Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). OPEN: When you select this option, the values available for Encryption mode are NONE and WEP. SHARE: When you select this option, the value available for Encryption mode is WEP. WPA-PSK: When you select this option, the value available for Encryption mode are TKIP and AES. WPA2-PSK: When you select this option, the value available for Encryption mode are TKIP and AES.	The default value is WPA2-PSK. To ensure security, set this parameter to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. NOTE: When the endpoint is connected to a VPM220W, you must set Identity authentication mode to WPA-PSKor WPA2-PSK.
      Encryption mode	Specifies the encryption method used on the Wi-Fi network. The required key types vary depending on your settings for this parameter. If you set Encryption mode to NONE, the Wi-Fi network provided by your endpoint is open to everyone.	The default value is AES. NOTE: When the endpoint is connected to a VPM220W, you must set Encryption mode to AES.
      Password	Specifies the password required when other devices connect to your endpoint.	Specifies the encryption method used on the Wi-Fi network. The required key types vary depending on your settings for this parameter. If you set Encryption mode to NONE, the Wi-Fi network provided by your endpoint is open to everyone.
      IP address Subnet mask	Specify the IP address and subnet mask of your endpoint.	Examples: IP address: 192.168.2.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
      Enable DHCP server.	Specifies whether your endpoint assigns IP addresses to devices connected to it. NOTE: If you select this parameter, you must also set Start IP address and End IP address.	This parameter is selected by default.
      Start IP address End IP address	Specify the IP address segment for devices connectedto your endpoint.	Examples: Start IP address: 192.168.2.10 End IP address: 192.168.2.100
      Enable VPM220W	Specifies whether to enable the VPM220W. If your endpoint uses the VPM220W, select this parameter. Then the VPM220W can connect to your endpoint successfully.	This parameter is selected by default.

   4. Click Save.

      The settings take effect immediately. You can then check the MAC address, and IP address of the device connected to your endpoint.
