Manage Devices on a Wireless Network

Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) lets you manage devices connected to two different Wi-Fi LAN networks of the Cloud Connector.

Before You Begin

• Identify by name the Cloud Connector that includes the wireless network interface that the Devices you are interested in managing use for Internet connectivity. You must also note the names of any Devices that need to be blocked from connecting on the wireless network. Confirm that you have a static IP address for each Device that you want to allow on the wireless network.

Context

Any onboarded Device that uses Wi-Fi connectivity can use the SSID and password to connect to the Oracle ECP-managed wireless networks provided by Cloud Connectors. You can manage Device access to the wireless networks from the Network tab of the Edge Node Details page.

Note:

If you choose to block an MDM-managed device with the Customer Managed Device device type, you must enter the MAC address manually.

Procedure

1. From the Edge Nodes Inventory page, identify a Cloud Connector with a wireless network interface and click the Name column to drill down to that Cloud Connector's details page.
2. Click the Network tab, then click the drop-down arrow on the right pane to choose the wireless interface (wlan0 or wlan1) of the wireless network on which you want to manage Devices.
3. On the right pane, click the Action menu (…) and choose Manage Devices.
   The Manage LAN Devices drawer opens.
4. To allow a Device on the managed wireless network:
   1. Click Add device to add a blank row to the drawer.
   2. Click the Device Name drop-down and select the device that you want to allow on the wireless network.
   3. In the Static IP field enter an available static IP address on your network in dotted-decimal format.
   4. Click the check icon to process the changes on the row.
5. To block a Device currently allowed on the managed wireless network:
   1. Choose the row for the Device and click the pencil icon.
   2. Click the check box in the Block MAC Address column header to enable blocking the device from the wireless network.
   3. Click the check icon to process the changes on the row.
6. To block a Device not currently using the managed wireless network:
   1. Click Add device to add a blank row to the drawer.
   2. Click the Device Name drop-down and select a Device that you want to block from accessing the wireless network. Oracle ECP provides the MAC address for the Device you selected.
   3. Click the check box in the Block MAC Address column header to enable blocking the device from the wireless network.
   4. Click the check icon to process the changes on the row.
7. To remove the block for a Device and admit it to the wireless network:
   • Choose the row for the Device and click the pencil icon.
   • Click the check box in the Block MAC Address column header to clear the block.
   • Click Static IP and enter an available static IP address.
   • Click the check icon to process the changes on the row.
8. Click Update to save the changes made.
