A Wi-Fi phone needs to be connected to a Wi-Fi network before it can connect to a provisioning server. This could take a lot of time and effort to connect each device manually. This blog will introduce you to a new feature ‘Share Wi-Fi<\/strong>‘ which will allow you to connect multiple devices in batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share Wi-Fi<\/strong> will allow a device to share its SSID and password credentials automatically to neighbouring devices once Share Wi-Fi<\/strong> has been enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario 1:<\/strong> Configure Special SSID for Wi-Fi Connecting <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Step1: Check firmware supports share Wi-Fi function and reset all devices. – (If the device supports share Wi-Fi function, skip step1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step2: Create a Wi-Fi with an SSID of Wi-Fi-device-SSID and a password of I<0%aY8+ on the router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step3: Do DHCP option66 auto provision on the router and get the configuration file through DHCP option66 –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Turn on the DHCP option 66 auto provision feature on the router<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Configure a configuration file containing new WIFI information and SIP account information, and the name is mac address as the file name, e.g. 0C383E5F1A63.cfg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Open the auto provision server, e.g. 192.168.1.122<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Open the DHCP server, open dhcpsrv.ini, and add a DHCP option custom field, e.g. OPTION_66=http:\/\/192.168.1.122:663\/0C383E5F1A63.cfg<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step4: Wait for the device to connect to the special SSID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step5: After connecting to Wi-Fi, you can provide new Wi-Fi and other configurations to device<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please note, after completing the above steps, the device will get a new Wi-Fi convenience credential to connect to the new Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi set on the router can be deleted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    Scenario 1:<\/strong> Configure One Device and Share Wi-Fi Information <\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Step1: Upgrade the firmware supports share Wi-Fi function and reset all devices. – (If the device firmware supports share Wi-Fi function, you could skip step1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step2: Do DHCP option66 auto provision on the router and get the configuration file through DHCP option66 –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Turn on the DHCP option 66 auto provision feature on the router<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Configure a configuration file containing new WIFI information and SIP account information, and the name is mac address as the file name, e.g. 0C383E5F1A63.cfg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Open the auto provision server and put the configuration file to be downloaded in the corresponding directory of the server. E.g. IP address 192.168.1.122<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Open the DHCP server, open dhcpsrv.ini, and add a DHCP option custom field, e.g. OPTION_66=”http:\/\/192.168.1.122:663\/0C383E5F1A63.cfg”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Step3: Enable Share Wi-Fi and configure the Wi-Fi information via lcd, which in Menu–Advanced–Share Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Enable Share Wi-Fi<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Input SSID want to connect<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select Security Mode <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Input Password<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Click ‘OK’ to save the configuration file, it will prompt ‘Config OK!’ <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Press Red hang up button to return desktop <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Step4: The device could share the Wi-Fi information to Share Wi-Fi client, and the client could connect to the Wi-Fi automatically<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Please note, the client needs to be within the coverage range of Router and if multiple devices enable Share Wi-Fi, the client will connect to Wi-Fi using the information obtained first. Clients will connect to Router directly with Wi-Fi configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step5: After connecting to Wi-Fi, you could provide new Wi-Fi and other configurations to the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Please note, disable \u2018Share Wi-Fi\u2019 if needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
