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 venue type information is optional 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.

group-code and type-code determine the venue type and identify the network location. As predefined in the 802.11u protocol:

If group-code is set to 2 (Business) and type-code to 3, the venue type indicates Fire Station.
If group-code is set to 3 (Educational) and type-code to 3, the venue type indicates University or College.

Precautions

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

Example

# Set the venue type to University or College in Hotspot2.0 profile hotspot.

[HUAWEI-wlan-view] hotspot2-profile name hotspot
