Creating a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN Profile

You can assign and Hotspot 2.0 service to a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN, for which you must create a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN profile.

Follow these steps to create a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN profile.

1. Go to Services & Profiles > Hotspots & Portals.
2. Select the Hotspot 2.0 tab, and then select the zone for which you want to create the profile.
3. Click Create.
   The Create Hotspot 2.0 WLAN Profile page appears.

4. Configure the following:
   1. Name: Enter a name for this WLAN profile. This name identifies the WLAN profile when assigning an HS2.0 service to a HS2.0 WLAN.
   2. Description: Enter a description for the WLAN profile.
   3. Operator: Select the operator profile. This name identifies the service operator when assigning an HS2.0 service to a HS2.0 WLAN.

      You can also click Create to create a Hotspot 2.0 WiFi operator. See Creating a Hotspot 2.0 WiFi Operator Profile for more information.

   4. Identity Provider: Choose one or more identity providers. Choose the identity provider. You can configure an OSU SSID when you add an Identity Provider which enables OSU and provisioning. Since there may be more than one identity provider per Hotspot 2.0 profiles having its own authentication profile, the No Match and Unspecified mapping could be duplicated. To avoid duplication, the default identity provider is taken as the correct configuration for No Match and Unspecified mapping. OSUSSID can be OSEN or OPEN [Guest].

      You can also click Create to create a Hotspot 2.0 WiFi operator. See Creating a Hotspot 2.0 Identity Provider for more information.

   5. Advanced Options:
      • Internet Options: Specify if this HS2.0 network provides connectivity to the Internet.
      • Access Network Type: Access network type (private, free public, chargeable public, etc.), as defined in IEEE802.11u.
      • IPv4 Address: Select IPv4 address type availability information, as defined in IEEE802.11u
      • IPv6 Address: Select IPv6 address type availability information, as defined in IEEE802.11u
      • Connection Capabilities: Provides information on the connection status within the hotspot of the most commonly used communications protocols and ports.

        Provide the Protocol Name, Protocol Number, Port Number and Status to Add a new connection.

      • Custom Connection Capabilities: Allows addition of custom connection capability rules. Up to 21 custom rules can be created.

        Provide the Protocol Name, Protocol Number, Port Number and Status to Add a new connection.
