WLAN Policy
To add the SSID to a WLAN policy, click Configuration > WLAN Policies > wlan_policy_name > Add/Remove SSID
Profile, select star in the Available SSID Profiles list, click the right arrow ( > ) to move it to the Selected SSID
Profiles list, click Apply, and then click Save.
To push the private PSK user groups, users, and WLAN policy configuration to the HiveAPs on which you want to
provide guest access, click Monitor > Access Points > HiveAPs > (select HiveAPs) > Update > Upload and
Activate Configuration, enter the following, and then click Upload:
Upload and activate configuration: (select)
Upload and activate CWP pages and Server key: (clear)
Upload and activate certificate for RADIUS and VPN services: (clear)
Upload and activate employee, guests, and contractor credentials: (select)
List of all HiveAPs selected on the Monitor > Access Points > HiveAPs page: (select)
Because the WLAN policy for the selected HiveAPs contains an SSID using captive web portal files,
upload and activate the files required for the captive web portal to function and also the
configuration. HiveManager uploads the captive web portal files first followed by the configuration.
The HiveAP Update Results page appears so that you can monitor the progress of the upload procedure. When
complete, "100%" appears in the Upload Rate column and "Successful" appears in the Update Result column.
Email Notification
To distribute the private PSK user definitions to the employees and the manager in charge of the contractors,
click Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Authentication > Local Users, select the users, and then click
Email PSK. The specified recipients receive a separate email message for each private PSK user, with content
like the following:
PSK: hon;VP#243
Description: Use SSID star
User Name: Bob Lai
Start Time:
End Time:
If you define a lifetime for a private PSK user (configurable in the Private PSK Advanced Options section in the
Local User Group dialog box), start and end times are also listed here. This can be useful if you want to provide
users—such as the contractors in this example perhaps—with WLAN connectivity for a fixed period of time.
Instead of sending the private PSK users through email, you can also export them in a .csv file. To do that,
select the users that you want to export, click the Export PSK button, and then save it to a directory of your
choice. You can open the file using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel.
