Enabling Wi-Fi support

Before beginning this process, you must configure the clock for Wi-Fi support. For more information, see Modifying the clock system configuration.

  1. Use PuTTY and SSH to access the clocks in your deployment.
    See Using PuTTY.
  2. Create a file named update.sh and insert this content: 
    
#!/bin/sh
 
cp ./clock-setup.json /media/Storage/clock-setup/input
/usr/share/clock-setup/backend/run-clock-setup-foreground.sh
if [ -f /media/Storage/clock-setup/results/UPDATE.PASS  ]; then
    echo "Configuration file accepted "
    exit 1;
fi;
echo "Configuration file rejected"
exit 0 # failed condition
  3. Create a file named clock-setup.json (ensure the EOL Conversion is set to UNIX (LF)) and insert this content. Replace the values in angled brackets with the details of your Wi-Fi configuration. 
    
{
"Note":"Change any fields with <text> to the correct values to enable 
WiFi using a static IP address",
"ATS_WS_Protocol_Comment": "Required. Integer value. 0 is None, 1 is 
WEP, 2 is WPA, 3 is WPA2",
"ATS_WS_Protocol": 3,
"ATS_WS_SSID_Comment": "Required. String. The SSID to use.",
"ATS_WS_SSID": "<SSID>",
"ATS_WS_Key_Comment": "Required. String. The WiFi encryption key to use.",
"ATS_WS_Key": "<key>",
"ATS_WirelessEnable_Comment": "Required. Boolean. If true, will enable WiFi",
"ATS_WirelessEnable": true,
"ATS_WirelessIPv4_Comment": "Required to enable IPv4 WiFi. Boolean. This 
specifically enables the IPv4 WiFi.",
"ATS_WirelessIPv4": true,
"ATS_WirelessIPv4DHCP_Comment": "Required to enable/disable DHCP. Boolean. 
This sets the WiFi for IPv4 to use DHCP. This will override static 
WiFI connection.",
"ATS_WirelessIPv4DHCP": true
}
  4. To update the configuration of one or more clocks with this configuration change, you can use the file update process that is outlined in Configuration update. Place the update.sh and clock-setup.json files that you created in previous steps in the script directory as part of the normal file update process.
