OvrC Wi-Fi Management: How to add a Guest Network

The Guest Network feature provides limited wireless network access by using a different DHCP pool, security credentials, and SSID.

Note: This feature is not currently supported on Access Networks devices.

To add a Guest Network:

  1. From the Networks & Access Points tab, click Add Guest Network.

  1. Enter an SSID Name.

  2. If desired, select a Security Mode. The default is WPA-PSK2.

  3. Enter a Passphrase.

  4. If desired, change the Gateway IP, Subnet Mask, Starting IP, and Ending IP for the Guest Network.

    Caution: Do not change the IP scheme to match an existing DHCP pool on-site.

  5. Select the wireless radios for the SSID to be broadcast on.

  6. By default, the Wireless Network is Enabled and being Broadcast. Use the toggles to turn them off.

  7. To tag the SSID with a VLAN, toggle VLAN on and enter the VLAN ID.
