Wireless Client Settings
The EMG can be configured as a wireless client or an access point. This page describes how to
configure the EMG to be a client; the wireless client is disabled by default.
From this page, the user can:
Configure the WiFi mode: wireless client, access point, or disabled.
Configure and view the status of the wireless client network interface, including interface
counters.
Configure WLAN profiles required by the wireless client to connect to a WLAN network, either
by manually creating a profile or by Quick Connect. Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 (including
802.1X/Enterprise) authentication is supported.
View the log for the wireless client.
Access the web page to configure and view the status of the wireless access point.
Configuring the EMG to connect to a WLAN network requires a WLAN profile, which is a set of
configuration parameters that will enable the EMG to connect and authenticate to a WLAN
network. The EMG supports up to 4 WLAN profiles, with a priority assigned to each profile. The
matching network with the highest priority value will be selected for the client connection. Profiles
can be created manually by entering the SSID and authentication parameters. Profiles can also be
created with Quick Connect which will scan for wireless networks within range and present a list of
networks with service set identifier (SSID), basic service set identifier (BSSI), channel number,
received signal strength indication (RSSI), and Security Suite; any detected network can be
selected and added as a WLAN profile along with the required authentication information.
Note: Until the WLAN client finds a network that matches one of the WLAN profiles, it
will be periodically scanning to look for a network. This background scanning may interfere
with manual scans initiated from the web UI or CLI; when this happens the message
'SCAN' command failed, client is currently scanning, please try
again. is displayed.
