CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider

4/8/2010

The CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider is deprecated and is supported for backward compatibility only. For Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later, use the Wi-Fi Configuration Service Provider instead.

The CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider configures the Wireless Network (WiFi) entries on Windows Mobile devices. This configuration service provider changes the destination metanetwork for a WiFi service set identifier (SSID). If the SSID is already connected, the changed setting is not applied until the next time you connect to that network.

The CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider is used to configure a wireless network association with Internet or Private networks on Windows Mobile devices.

The nocharacteristic tag will work on the top two levels to delete all, or specific, entries.

The CM_WiFiEntries Configuration Service Provider can be configured in the following ways:

• The user enters the association to configure the wireless network to the Internet or Private network, and then the user interface (UI) component calls Connection Manager again with the new setting. Connection Manager would, in turn, store this setting.
• A corporation pre-configures a device prior to rollout with the information about their WiFi network and its metanetwork association.
• The configuration information for the metanetwork association is updated through over-the-air (OTA) configuration of these parameters.

The following table shows the default settings. The default security role maps to each subnode unless specific permission is granted to the subnode.

Characteristics

• <entryname>
  User-friendly, unique network name. Some possible networks are MSFTINET or MSFTWLAN. Used as the name of an 802.11 wireless network connection. Fields under this characteristic specify parameters for this connection.

  Note

  A slash mark () and quotation mark (") are not valid characters in the network name.

Parameters

• DestId
  This parameter is used in the <entryname> characteristic as a GUID that represents the unique ID of the network to which this entry connects. See the Connmgr.h header for predefined GUID values IID_DestNet*.

  Note

  The only two valid networks for Windows Mobile devices are Internet and Corporate/Private Network.
