If the device has been provisioned with the home service provider, the device does not need to use
the EAP methods in the NAI Realm List. The mobile device knows the EAP method required to
authenticate against its home service provider and automatically uses it.
Note
Keep your DNS server records up to date so that mobile devices can resolve the server
domain names (FQDN).
Mobile devices with a SIM or USIM credential, can obtain a realm from the hotspot NAI Realm list.
While 3GPP credentials are usually used to access a hotspot, a targeted NAI home query is an
ecient alternative approach. The device's connection manager compares the realm information in
the list to the information that is stored on the device. The connection manager uses the mobile
device’s pre-configured user preferences and policy to make a decision between a hotspot AP or a
non-hotspot AP, if both are available.
Roaming Consortium. Configure authentication of mobile devices to the members of a roaming
consortium, or for a particular service provider that has a roaming consortium. Add the appropriate
IEEE-assigned Organizational Identifier (OI). Specify up to eight identifiers unique to the
organization that are part of the MAC address.
Note
The order of the roaming consortium definition is important and it is preserved during
configuration changes and system upgrade. The AP39xx access points continue to
support only two identifiers. The AP39xx receives the first two identifiers in the list.
Use roaming consortium authentication when you do not know all the authenticated realms. Using
identifiers unique to the organization in the beacon is a battery ecient roaming method because
there are no ANQP queries needed.
3GPP Cellular Network. This is a list of cellular network IDs in the form of mobile country code
(MCC), mobile network code (MNC). This list establishes whether an AP has a roaming arrangement
with the 3GPP service providers.
a. Select New to expand the 3GPP Cellular Network pane.
b. Enter the MCC and MNC values.
c. Provide an optional description. The Description field supports up to 32 bytes and UTF-8 format.
Note
The New button remains unavailable until valid values are entered in both fields.
d. Select New to accept the entered values and open a new row.
4. After you have finished configuring the SP Identification tab, select OK to save the configuration.
