Chapter 13 Configure DMP Wi-Fi Settings
Procedures
The Create New WIFI Application page opens.
Step 3 Enter a meaningful name for the Wi-Fi network that this application describes.
For example, you might use a name that specifies the locale, the building, and the security method for
this network.
Step 4 Enter in the Network SSID field the SSID for the network that this application describes.
Tip In the future, if you reconfigure SSID settings in your WLAN, your DMPs will lose their network connections.
If this occurs, simply restart your DMPs to restore normal operation.
Step 5
Choose from the Security list the security method for your network. The options are:
• WEP-64bit
• WEP-128bit
• WPA-PSK
• WPA-EAP
• WPA2-PSK
• WPA2-EAP
The security method that you choose controls, in part, which other fields and options you see.
Step 6 Do the following, as needed.
• Did you choose a WEP-based security method? And do you see the Passphrase field? If so, enter in
it the key from which your 64-bit or 128-bit passphrase is cryptographically derived.
• Did you choose a WPA-based or WPA-2-based security method? And do you see the Passphrase
field? If so, enter in it the pre-shared key for your network.
• Do you see the Encryption list? If so, choose from it either TKIP or CCMP.
• Do you see the EAP list? If so, choose from it either FAST, MD5, or PEAP (ver.0).
• Do you see the Username and Password fields? If so, enter in them respectively a valid username
for your wireless network and the password to authenticate that username.
Step 7 Click Submit to save this application.
Step 8 Deploy this application to your DMPs, as appropriate.
• Immediately—Click the DMP Manager tab, choose which DMPs to reconfigure, choose this
named application from the “W-Fi Configuration” options in the Actions list, and then click Go.
• In the future—Click the Schedules tab and define deployment parameters for this application.
Step 9 Verify that your DMPs have IP addresses as nodes on the wireless network.
Step 10 After the deployment is successful, unplug the Ethernet cables from your DMPs.
Otherwise, their Ethernet connections will take priority over their Wi-Fi connections.
