HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION
Parameters Description
set, but 20 dBm is allowed), the RF power is automatically reduced.This parameter is
commented out by default and the device operates with the maximum RF power
permitted according to the country code.
radio With this parameter, sending via WLAN can be disabled.Possible values:0 = sending
disabled1 = sending enabledThis parameter is commented out by default and sending
enabled.
ssid_invisible_10 / 11 Using this optional parameter, the SSID can be hidden. It is important to note that this is
not a safety mechanism.
When ssid_invisible_xx=1 is set, the operating device (the client) can no longer find the
WLAN network. For this reason, use the ssid_scan parameter in the client as described
below.
0 = WLAN network remains visible
1 = WLAN network is hidden. SSID is not visible during a WLAN scan
For these parameters, an OS version >= 09.03.150 is required
The values marked in green correspond to the delivery condition or the recommended
encryption. If only one access point is configured, the setting is enabled according to the
configured network (2.4 or 5 GHz).
9.1.3 File Structure and Parameters wireless.conf and wireless2.conf
The wireless.conf and wireless2.conf files are used to configure the control as a WLAN client.
In these files, the parameters required for the connection to the
access point are defined in an infrastructure network.
The configuration file contains a global variable, which cannot be changed. This line must be
the first ,non-commented out, line in the wireless(2).conf file:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
The networks are configured as a block system. These “network” blocks have the following
syntax, see example:
# Configuration for WPA/WPA2 Networks
network={
ssid="WirelessNetworkName"
psk="SecurityKey"
}
