Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When multiple Hotspot2.0 networks are available, user terminals need to obtain information of each network to select the network to access. The network type and Internet access status are mandatory 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 discover and select proper networks.

Precautions

If the command is executed repeatedly, only the latest configuration takes effect.

Example

# Set the network type to free public network and configure the network to provide Internet access in Hotspot2.0 profile hotspot.
