Wi-Fi
Note
If you need to configure a Wi-Fi passphrase with any non-printable ASCII characters, you
can use the wpa_passphrase tool to generate the appropriate pre-shared key. The wpa_
passphrase command is available in the shell console of a DAL OS Digi device. For details
about the command, see the
10. (Optional) For Group rekey interval, type the amount of time to wait before changing the
group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the access point, and after a client has
disconnected, it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is
changed.
Allowed values are any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and take the format
number{d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set Group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter 10m or 600s.
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issues in noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to 0. This will allow any client that has previously connected to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.
11. Assign the Wi-Fi access point to a LAN interface or to a bridge. See
Network (LAN)
The access point must be assigned to an active LAN, or a bridge that is assigned to an active
LAN.
12. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
