This article summarizes how to create a new SSID using Ringmaster.

SSID can be created using following ways:

1. Using CLI access of the Controller
2. Using Ringmaster.

If the customer wish to work only with Ringmaster and prefers not to use CLI, then follow these steps to create a SSID using Ringmaster.

1. Login to Ringmaster using the admin User-name and Password, IP Address and port number. Then click Next.

   

2. Go to Devices and check for any changes. If available, deploy the changes.

   

3. Go to Configuration > select Wireless > Wireless Services from the right-hand side Organizer tab. Then click Custom Service Profile.

   Name: Type the Service-profile name

   There are 4 options available:

   1. 802.1X ACCESS
   2. MAC ACCESS
