User’s Guide, WhereLAN III draft D1675 rev F

Zebra Confidential

The process will be illustrated assuming a sample Wi-Fi network with the

following parameters.

a. SSID = ZEBRA

b. Security = WPA2, Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK)

c. WPA2 passphrase = ZebraPassphrase2011

To match these Wi-Fi parameters, the wpa_supplicant.conf file is very simple

and is shown below:

Create your wpa_supplicant.conf file with your Linux-friendly editor and

place a copy of it on the RTLS Server’s ftproot directory. Placing the file in

this directory facilitates the upload process.

Uploading the wpa_supplicant.conf file onto the WhereLAN III Unit.
