Connecting a J100 phone to hidden Wi-Fi SSID

[jchmura]

Same post over on Tek-Tips, but I figured I would see if it gains any traction here...

I know this is a new feature in the 4.1.0 and up firmware for the J100 series phones, but I seriously can't be the only one who wants to do this. WTF am I missing here? I'm updated to the 4.1.1 firmware and the fields are not editable... There is nothing on the phone UI that allows you to enter in a hidden SSID and then select security settings, so I enabled the Web Server and figured I could edit those here... boy was I wrong.



If I fill out the SSID field the phone just reboots with that SSID as the default, it wont connect to it because it won't allow you to edit the Wi-Fi security settings and setup a password or anything like that.

Do I need to set this stuff up in a 46xxspecials.txt file? If so this is just ridiculous and NOT user friendly.

Hate to ask the obvious, but does the phone have the optional Wireless module installed?

As a workaround, just unhide the SSID for 10 minutes, connect the phone and then rehide the SSID.

Having trouble editing hidden SSID settings on your J100 phones too? I was pulling my hair out! Turns out, you need to configure those settings via the Avaya Aura Device Services (AADS) platform, not directly on the phone's web interface after firmware 4.1.0. Hope this helps avoid some frustration! Wonder how many ghosts Pacman 30th Anniversary .
