Configuring device templates

The device templates provide a set of default settings that will be used at the time of the device provisioning. Once the device is provisioned and is connected to the  cloud, you will be able to manage the device via the  portal (https://bluzone.io/console). 

Configuring BluFi WiFi profiles

The BluFi WiFi profile will allow the BluFi devices to connect to the cloud. The cloud supports the following WiFi security types:

  • Open
  • WEP
  • WPA/WPA2

  • EAP-PEAPv0 w/MSCHAPv2

  • EAP-PEAPv0 w/PSK

  • EAP-PEAPv0 w/TLS

  • EAP-PEAPv1 w/MSCHAPv2

  • EAP-PEAPv1 w/PSK

  • EAP-PEAPv1 w/TLS

  • EAP-TLS

  • EAP-TTLS w/MSCHAPv2

  • EAP-TTLS w/PSK

  • EAP-TTLS w/TLS

To configure a new WiFi profile click on the "Templates" in the main left-hand navigation menu of the  portal.

and then click the "Create" button

Add Name, Network name and security type

Configuring Beacon templates

The Beacon templates are used to provision and configure new beacons at deployment time. Once the beacon is provisioned the template changes will not effect the beacon configuration. After the beacon has been provisioned and connected to a BluFi all beacon configuration updates will come from the cloud.

By default the cloud will create a set of default Beacon templates that may be used "as is" to provision the new beacons. Additionally, you may choose to modify the default templates or create new ones. 

Deployment and Provisioning
