Passpoint Policy

A passpoint policy provides an interoperable platform for streamlining Wi-Fi access to access points deployed as public hotspots. Passpoint is supported across a wide range of wireless network deployment scenarios and client devices.

Passpoint makes connecting to Wi-Fi networks easier by authenticating the user with an account based on an existing relationship, such as the user's mobile carrier or broadband ISP.

The Passpoint Policy screen displays a list of passpoint polices for network hotspots. Each passpoint policy can be selected to edit its properties. If no exiting passpoint policies supports the required deployment, select Add to create a new policy.

To administrate and manage existing passpoint policies:

1. Select Configuration → Wireless.

2. Select Passpoint Policy from the Wireless node on the left-hand of the screen.

   

   

3. Refer to the following configuration data for existing passpoint policies:

   Name	Displays the administrator assigned name of each passpoint policy.
   Access Network Type	Displays the network access permissions the administrator has set for the passpoint policy.
   Operator Name	Displays the unique name assigned to the administrator or operator responsible for the configuration and operation of the hotspot.
   Venue Name	Displays the administrator assigned name of the venue or physical location of the deployed hotspot.

4. Select Add to define a new passpoint policy, or select an existing policy and select Edit to modify its configuration. Existing policies can be selected and deleted, copied, or renamed as needed.
