Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When multiple Hotspot2.0 networks are available, user terminals need to identify service providers of the connected networks. An SSID is not as unique as an HESSID, which can uniquely identify APs of the same service provider. Among the APs, the BSSID of one AP is used as the HESSID. The HESSID is an optional parameter in a Hotspot2.0 profile. Beacon and Probe Response frames sent from Hotspot2.0-capable APs carry network parameter information, which helps user terminals to determine whether network parameters need to be renewed.

Precautions

If the HESSID is configured repeatedly, only the latest HESSID takes effect.

Example

# Set the HESSID to e468-a350-89e0 in Hotspot2.0 profile hotspot.
