Configure Wi-Fi APs for Orion

  

Orion Wifi is deployed to your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure as a new "Orion" SSID. Use your wireless controller's administrative interface to apply the below settings. 

Orion SSID

Add a new SSID with the following parameters:

Network Name / SSID Orion
Hidden SSID No
Network Security WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x)
RADIUS Server See "RadSec / Radius settings"
Hotspot 2.0 / Passpoint See "Hotspot 2.0 configuration"

RadSec / RADIUS settings

RADIUS Server IPs

Determine if your wireless controller supports RADIUS over TLS (RadSec) and expand the relevant section below:

My wireless controller DOES support RadSec 

Download your radsec.zip from Orion Supply Settings and unzip it.

In your wireless controller, upload or copy/paste the contents of:

  • bw.radsec.cacert.pem as a radsec CA certificate
  • openroaming.root.cacert.pem as a radsec CA certificate
  • cert.pem as radsec client certificate
  • key.pem as radsec client private key

Apply the following RADIUS settings to your Orion SSID
for both Authentication and Accounting:

Primary Server IP 216.239.32.91
Primary Server Port 2083
Secondary Server IP 216.239.34.91
Secondary Server Port 2083
Shared Secret radsec
Radsec Server Name / SAN (if needed) *.orion.area120.com

My wireless controller DOES NOT support RadSec

  • Download and deploy Orion Radsecproxy, following the steps in the README
  • Apply the following RADIUS settings to your Orion SSID:
Authentication Server IP Your radsecproxy IP
Authentication Server Port 1812
Accounting Server IP Your radsecproxy IP
Accounting Server Port 1813
Shared Secret radsec

NAS Identifier

Networks in Orion are automatically named based on their NAS-Identifier attribute. All APs on a shared network should use the same NAS Identifier.

Interim-Update Interval

Set your Accounting Interim-Update interval to 5 minutes (300 seconds).

Chargeable User Identity

Your RADIUS Authentication and Accounting packets must include a Chargeable-User-Identity (CUI) attribute.

Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint) configuration

Enable Hotspot 2.0 on your Orion SSID with the following settings:

Roaming Consortium OI
(RCOI)

F4F5E8F5F4

Network Type Chargeable Public

Once the above steps are complete, your AP should begin broadcasting a new "Orion" SSID. You can proceed to set up your test device.

 

Next: Prepare your mobile device for testing
