# Creating WiFi Setups

The WiFi setups defined in the Intel AMT device are required to enable communication with the Intel AMT device over a wireless network. These WiFi setups can also be used to enable Remote Access via a Management Presence Server (MPS) even when the computer is not in the enterprise network. The total number of WiFi setups (including 802.1x WiFi setups) that can be configured depends on the version of Intel AMT:

- Intel AMT 8.x and lower – Up to a maximum of 15
- Intel AMT 9.0 and higher – Up to a maximum of 7

To create a WiFi setup:

1. From the WiFi Connection section of the Network Configuration window, click Add. The WiFi Setup window opens.

2. In the Setup Name field, enter a name for the WiFi setup. The setup name can be up to 32 characters, and must not contain ( / \ < > : ; * | ? ” ) characters.
3. In the SSID field, enter the Service Set Identifier (up to 32 characters) that identifies the specific WiFi network. If left empty, the device will try to connect to all WiFi networks that use Data Encryption as defined in this WiFi Setup.
4. From the Key Management Protocol drop-down list, select one of these:
   - WiFi Protected Access (WPA)
   - Robust Security Network (RSN)
5. From the Encryption Algorithm drop-down list, select one of these:
   - Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
   - Counter mode CBC MAC Protocol (CCMP)
6. In the Authentication section, select one of these:
   - Passphrase – Enter a Passphrase for the WiFi setup. The Passphrase must contain between 8 and 63 printable ASCII characters.
   - 802.1x Setup – From the drop-down list, select the 802.1x setup to use in this WiFi setup. Optionally, you can also edit an existing 802.1x setup by clicking Edit or create a new 802.1x setup by clicking Add (see Creating 802.1x Setups).
7. Click OK. The WiFi setup window closes and the setup is added to the list.
