Configure Wi-Fi interfaces
Digi TransPort User Guide 183
Wi-Fi n parameters
When a Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, an SSID must be configured for a Wi-Fi
interface to operate.
In order to forward packets to and from a Wi-Fi interface, it must be bridged to a configured
Ethernet interface. The Wi-Fi interface and Ethernet interface must be in the same Bridge
instance.
If a DHCP server is required to run on the Wi-Fi interface, the DHCP server instance
corresponding bridged Ethernet interface should be configured.
In some cases it may be necessary to bridge multiple Ethernet instances to a single Wi-Fi instance.
If this is required, only one Ethernet instances is should be configured.
Enable this Wi-Fi interface
The Wi-Fi interface can be enabled or disabled.
Description
A descriptive name for the Wi-Fi interface to make it easier to identify.
SSID
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, this is the SSID that is advertised
to the Wi-Fi clients to.
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a Client, this is the SSID of the Access Point you
wish to connect to.
Mode
The Wi-Fi interface can run in various modes. The options are:
• Access Point
• Client
Rogue Detection(Scan for unauthorised Access Points)
This Wi-Fi interface is a member of Bridge instance n and therefore bridged to the following
interfaces.
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, in order to forward packets to
and from the Wi-Fi interface it must be bridged with an Ethernet interface using a Bridge
instance.
Interface
Interfaces that are currently members of the selected Bridge instance. Note that multiple Wi-Fi
interfaces can be members of the same Bridge instance.
Link this Wi-Fi client interface with Ethernet n
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a client, it must be bridged to a particular Ethernet
interface.
This Wi-Fi rogue scanner will use Ethernet n
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a rogue scanner, it uses the selected Ethernet
interface.
