Easy setup for wireless LAN → 日本語

Windows

• Currently not supported for other OS than Windows.
• Confirmed on Windows 7 and 8.1 and 10.

Usage

• According to your network SSID, download XML and BAT files to the same folder.
• Double click the BAT file, then the wireless LAN profile is created.
• Connect the wireless LAN by selecting the network you wish to connect to and click "Connect".
• You don't need to keep downloaded files on your PC after establishing the connection.
• When connecting to RCNP-GP you still need to register your device to the Network Management System. Learn more about that here

Download

• Right click and select "Save Link Target As ..."
• Do NOT rename the XML file.

Customizing

Goal for this was to allow ease of use, so you can use it even without any customizations, but if you want to use it to a higher degree, refer to information below.

• On 3rd line of the XML file, the name of the profile is set with <name>...</name> tags. If you want to change the name of the profile change this. There is also the same name tag on line 7, that defines the SSID name. Don't change that. The bat file also removes the old profile before adding the new one. The removal is also done with profile name, so be cautious of this.
• On the 9th line of XML file you can enable or disable connecting to non broadcasting network. This is done with <nonBroadcast>...</nonBroadcast> tags. On eduroam it's possible that the network is not broadcasting so this is set to true. For others it's set to false. If you set it to false you can't connect to networks that are not broadcasting. However if you set it to true, your device will try to connect to the network even if it's not available.
• Tags <connectionMode>...</connectionMode> on line 12th line define whether to automatically to connect to network or not. For RCNP-GP this is set to "auto" and for other SSID's it's set to "manual". At RCNP there are variety of SSIDs so if you set this to auto on more than one SSIDs, your device might keep chancing between different SSIDs and thus interrupting your connection each time. On windows 8.1 during connection you will have a checkbox next to connect button to change this setting.
• The tags <autoSwitch>false</autoSwitch> on line 13th changes whether the devices automatically connects to an other available network or not. Since we recommend using only one SSID at RCNP, we also recommend setting this to "false".
• Changing other parameters of the XML is not recommended.
• The settings explained above, can also be changed from the GUI on windows. (Windows 7 and older)
