Profiles are applied to an AP to enable Passpoint. Follow these steps to create a new Passpoint Profile.
Log into NetCloud Manager.
Select in the left-side navigation panel.
Select a router from the Routers page. Alternatively, to make configuration changes to a group, navigate to the Groups page and select a group.
Select and then .
Select Identities and then Passpoint Profiles.
Select Add.
On the Editor page:
Enter a Profile Name.
Select an Access Network Type. The Access Network Type parameter specifies the type of Wi-Fi network provided by the wireless access point.
Select a Network Auth Type. Network Authentication Type sets the method for authenticating clients connecting to the network.
Choose whether to allow emergency services access by selecting one or both of the following:
ESR: ESR (Emergency services reachable) setting indicates whether the device can reach emergency services or not. When checked, it ensures that the device can establish a connection to emergency services when needed.
UESA: UESA (Unauthenticated emergency service accessible) is a critical feature allowing emergency calls even without prior user authentication. When checked UESA ensures that emergency services remain accessible without hindrance, prioritizing user safety.
Choose whether to Disable DGAF. This setting is used to disable Downstream Group-Addressed Forwarding (DGAF). When this parameter is checked, it configures the network in a way that group-addressed frames are not allowed.
Enter a Station Count. This defines the total number of client devices (stations) currently associated with the Basic Service Set (BSS). The Station count value must be between 0-255.
Enter a Channel Utilization percentage. The percentage of time (0-255 scale) the channel is busy transmitting or receiving data, including overhead like management frames and interference. The channel utilization count value must be between 0-255.
Enter an Available Capacity. The capacity available for new traffic flows on the BSS, measured in units of 32 octets per second. It is often used to determine whether the network can accommodate additional traffic streams. The available admission capacity value must be between 0-65535.
Select a GAS Address 3 setting. The GAS Address 3 is used to specify the behavior related to GAS (Generic Advertisement Service) Address 3 handling. GAS Address 3 is a field in the GAS request frame that indicates the BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) of the access point (AP) with which the client wants to communicate.
P2P specification (Address3 = AP BSSID) workaround enabled by default based on GAS request Address3
IEEE 802.11 standard compliant regardless of GAS request Address3
Force non-compliant behavior (Address3 = AP BSSID for all cases)
Enter an ANQP Domain ID. The ANQP (Access Network Query Protocol) Domain ID is a identifier that defines a specific network domain. It is used to retrieve network information from a particular domain, such as a public Wi-Fi network or service provider.
Enter a HESSID. HESSID is a unique identifier that groups wireless access points into a single extended service set. It is used to distinguish and manage multiple access points sharing the same network infrastructure. The value mus be a valid MAC address.
Select Save.
