Note

  • SSID and Broadcast must be the same.
  • Cloning of WLAN is not supported.​
  • VIQ Import/Export is not supported.​
  • Set Authorization Policy to be lower than the rule timeout (recommended 5 minutes).​
  • Wild cards in the rules are case sensitive. Must be “Any”​
  • Notification policy SMS uses “[EXTR]” in the template to prevent being blocked by spam filters in some countries.​
  • If changing templates for a network, delete the old one first.​
  • To delete a Guest Network, work backwards: Delete the template first, the rule, then the SSID.
