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