    Creating a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN Profile

  5. Complete the following fields:
    • Name: Enter a name for this WLAN profile. This name identifies the WLAN profile when assigning an Hotspot 2.0 service to a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN.
    • Description: Enter a description for the WLAN profile.
    • Operator: Select the operator profile. This name identifies the service operator when assigning an Hotspot 2.0 service to a Hotspot 2.0 WLAN.

      You can also click Create to create a Hotspot 2.0 WiFi operator. Refer to RUCKUS SmartZone Hotspot 2.0 Interface Guide for more information.

    • 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 identity provider. Refer to RUCKUS SmartZone Hotspot 2.0 Interface Guide for more information.

    • 6.0 update
      Single SSID: Provides capability to support both OSU network and production network on the same WLAN. This option is available only when the Identity Provider has enabled Online Signup & Provisioning.
    • 6.0 update
      Onboarding SSID: Allows the devices to connect to a Wi-Fi network automatically, where the service providers engage in roaming partnership to provide seamless access to Wi-Fi networks. Onboarding SSID is an optional configuration when Single SSID is enabled and a mandatory configuration when Single SSID is not enabled. This option is available only when the Identity Provider has enabled Online Signup & Provisioning.
    • Under Advanced Options, Complete the following fields:
