5.1.2 WiFi WAN Link Configuration
A WiFi link provides WAN access to the oMG via a WiFi AP which is often
available in locations such as vehicle depots. Since it's usually preferable to utilize
an AP when available, WiFi links are usually configured as the primary WAN
access method on the oMG.
The following screenshot shows the settings for a WiFi WAN link configuration:
Figure 5-3: WiFi WAN Link Configuration
Additional details on these settings are available in WiFi Link Configuration
Settings on page 71.
Once a WiFi WAN link has been configured it must then be assigned to an AP
profile which stores credential and other information required to communicate
with an AP. The creation of an AP profile and its assignment to a WiFi link is
described in
Defining an Access Point Profile for WiFi Links on page 18.
5.1.3 Ethernet WAN Link Configuration
An Ethernet (wired) connection can also be used to provide WAN access to the
oMG, though this is less common since the main purpose of the oMG is to
provide mobile WAN access using wireless methods.
