• OWE: For many public WiFi networks and WiFi hotspots, opportunistic wireless
encryption (OWE) might be a good choice because it offers CCM mode protocol
(CCMP) as encryption without authentication for access to the WiFi network.
Protected Management Frames (PMF) is automatically set to mandatory. (For
more information about PMF, see Protected Management Frames on page 195.)
The WiFi network can accept both clients that support OWE and clients that do
not. For clients that do not support OWE, traffic is not encrypted.
10. A WLAN schedule can turn WiFi broadcast off to block network access during days
and times when it is not needed and to save energy. To enable and configure a
WLAN schedule for the admin WiFi network, do the following:
a. Select the Enable WLAN schedule check box.
The page expands and shows the days and times that the WiFi signal is broadcast.
After you enable the WLAN schedule, by default, the WiFi signal is broadcast
every day from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
b. To change if the WiFi signal is broadcast during a day, clear or select the check
box for the day.
If you clear the check box for a day, the WiFi signal is not broadcast on that day.
c. To change when the WiFi signal is broadcast during a day, move the round icons
on the blue bar to the desired starting and ending times for the day.
The period that the WiFi signal is broadcast during that day displays to the left
of the blue bar.
11. Scroll down to the Authentication Mode section and make sure that the Local radio
button is selected.
12. In the Authentication Options section, set a guest portal password by selecting the
Password Authentication radio button and entering a password in the field.
The password must be a minimum of 8 characters and can be a maximum of 63
characters (or 64 hexadecimal digits).
Note: In order for guests to access the Internet, they must enter this password in
the guest portal and click the AGREE button to accept terms and conditions.
