Using this table you manage the profile lists for ANQP. ANQP profiles offers you the ability to group certain ANQP elements and to independently assign logical WLAN interfaces in the table Interfaces. These elements include, for example, information about your OIs, domains, roaming partners and their authentication methods. Some of the elements are located in other profile lists.
In order to edit the entries in the table ANQP profiles, click on the button Add.... The entries in the edit window have the following meaning:
- Name: Assign a name for the ANQP 2.0 profile here. This name will appear later in the interfaces table in the selection for ANQP profiles.
- Beacon OUI: Organizationally Unique Identifier, abbreviated as OUI, simplified as OI. As the hotspot operator, you enter the OI of the roaming partner with whom you have agreed a contract. If you are the hotspot operator as well as the service provider, enter the OI of your roaming consortium or your own OI. A roaming consortium consists of a group of service providers which have entered into mutual agreements regarding roaming. In order to get an OI, this type of consortium – as well as an individual service provider – must register with IEEE.It is possible to specify up to 3 parallel OIs, in case you, as the operator, have roaming agreements with several partners. Multiple OIs can be provided in a comma-separated list, such as 00105E,00017D,00501A.
Anmerkung: This device transmits the specified OI(s) in its beacons. If a device should transmit more than 3 OIs, these can be configured under Additional OUI. However, additional OIs are not transferred to a station until after the GAS request. They are not immediately visible to the stations!
- Additional OUI: Enter the OI(s) that the device also sends to a station after a GAS request. Multiple OIs can be provided in a comma-separated list, such as 00105E,00017D,00501A.
- Domain name list: Enter one or more domains that are available to you as a hotspot operator. Multiple domain names are separated by a comma separated list, such as providerX.org,provx-mobile.com,wifi.mnc410.provX.com. For subdomains it is sufficient to specify only the highest qualified domain name. If a user configured a home provider on his device, e.g., providerX.org, this domain is also assigned to access points with the domain name wi-fi.providerX.org. When searching for suitable hotspots, a station always prefers a hotspot from his home provider in order to avoid possible roaming costs.
- NAI realm list: Select an NAI realm profile from the list. You specify profiles for NAI realms in the configuration menu by clicking the button NAI realms.
- Cellular list: Select the cellular network identity from the list. You set the identities for cellular networks – similar to profiles – in the configuration menu using the button Cellular network information list.
- Network authentication type list: Select an authentication profile from the list. You specify profiles for network authentication in the configuration menu by clicking the button Network authentication types.
Additionally, using the telnet console or setup menu, you have the option to also display the type of available IP addresses, which they can obtain from the network after a successful authentication. You can access the relevant parameters IPv4-Addr-Type and IPv6-Addr-Type via the telnet path .
