Editing a Network

Editing a network allows you to update its identifying attributes and adjust common network settings that control how the network appears and operates across venues. A Wi‑Fi network configuration determines how the network is identified, authenticated, and presented to users.

Note: You edit only the settings associated with the preselected network type. Tabs and options vary depending on the network type.
Complete the following steps to edit a network:
  1. On the navigation bar, select Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Networks > Wi-Fi Networks List.
    The Wi-Fi Networks page is displayed.
    Wi-Fi Networks - Network List
  2. Select the radio button alongside the network name and click Edit.
    Alternatively, select the network name. The Network Details page for the selected Wi‑Fi network is displayed, defaulting to the Overview tab, and then click Configure.
    The Edit Network page is displayed.
  3. Modify the fields on the Network Details page. You can update the following fields:
    • Network Name
    • (Optional) SSID
      Note: When a DPSK SSID changes, the administrator receives a notification that the current linked passphrase is removed. To keep the passphrases, export the passphrases before you modify the SSID and import them into the new DPSK SSID.
    • (Optional) Description
    • Network Type: Displays the type of Wi‑Fi network. This field is read‑only.
  4. Edit the settings associated with the preselected network type.
    The tabs on the left vary depending on the network type. Only the tabs and fields relevant to the selected network type are displayed.

    Depending on the selected network type, one or more of the following tabs appear:

    • Portal Type: Displays the portal workflow assigned to the network. This tab is read‑only and appears only for Captive Portal networks.
    • Onboarding: Appears for portal workflows that require user onboarding.
    • Settings: Appears for Wi‑Fi networks that use passphrases, enterprise authentication, Hotspot 2.0, or onboarding‑driven workflows. The fields vary by network type.
    • More Settings: Displays advanced configuration fields for the selected network type. Refer to Configuring Additional Settings for a Wi-Fi Network for more details.
    • Portal Web Page: Appears only for Captive Portal workflows that support a customizable web page.
    • Venues: Displays all venues where the Wi‑Fi network is assigned and allows you to activate or deactivate the network, configure APs and radio bands, edit scheduling, and manage network tunneling for each venue.

    Each configuration area is described in the corresponding topic. Refer to the following topics:
