Agile and ThinMan Policies
When configuring Agile devices with ThinMan policies, ensure that the Maintain Network Settings option is selected in the devices profile panel. If this option is not selected, network-related configurations (such as hostname, network interfaces, and Wi-Fi settings) will be duplicated across all devices.
¶ Interfaces
In this section it is shown:
-
The system network interfaces: Ip address, Primary and Secondary DNS of each connection
-
The hostname of the device
¶ Wifi
This section manages the connections to the WiFi networks.
The administrator creates the WiFi Networks entry, and the system uses those entries to connect the device to the configured WiFi network. The credentials need to be inserted in the configuration phase.
¶ Configuring WiFi Networks
In this section it is possible to add wifi configurations:
Click on Add Wifi Network.
Type the SSID of the WiFi network or select it from a list of discovered SSIDs available on the device.
If you enter an SSID that is not currently available, you have to insert the Authentication and the Encryption parameters. If a WiFi Network is selected from those available, the Authentication and the Encryption" parameters are filled by the configurator.
Depending on the selected network, the configuration panel could ask for different pieces of information (e.g., Username, Password, and Domain; or a single Passphrase).
Enable the option Connect even if the WiFi network is not broadcasting if the network uses a hidden SSID.
It is possible to edit the fields by clicking on the name of the WiFi Network.
