WebOS Setup

WebOS devices can connect to Wi-Fi networks such as WP2-Personal, Open network, and WPA2-Enterprise. To connect to a WPA2-Enterprise network, you need to configure your WebOS device's network settings. Below are the steps to set up a WPA2-Enterprise connection on a WebOS device.

Required WebOS version

• WPA2-Enterprise networks are supported only on WebOS 6 and higher.
• WPA2-Personal networks are supported on all versions.

Supported WPA2-Personal / WPA2-Enterprise authentication methods

Core App Version	Front-Applet Version	OPEN	WPA2-Personal	EAP-TLS	EAP-TTLS	PEAP (MSCHAPv2)	PEAP (GTC)
≤2.9.0	≤8.5.1	✅	✅	❌	❌	❌	❌
≥2.10.0	≥8.5.2	✅	✅	❌	❌	❌	✅

Set up via JS API

To connect to Wi-Fi Enterprise, it's required to have those things prepared:

• Correct Core App version (at least 2.10.0) installed on the device.
• Correct Front-Applet version (at least 8.5.2) installed in Applet, Script, or Runner.

Importing certificates

This functionality is not supported for now.

Connecting to Wi-Fi Enterprise

With the Wi-Fi JS API SDK, you can programmatically connect to a WPA2-Enterprise network from your applet, script, or runner. This enables you to control the connection process within your application.

WebOS connect issues

Connection to a Wi-Fi network on WebOS may fail if scan() is not called first. Always call sos.management.wifi.scan() before configuring a Wi-Fi network.

import sos from '@signageos/front-applet';

// Connect to WPA2-Enterprise network with PEAP + GTC method
await sos.management.wifi.connect('MyEnterpriseNetwork', undefined, {
	securityType: '802.1X_EAP',
	eap: {
		method: 'PEAP',
		identity: 'my-username',
		identityPassword: 'tokenCode',
		phase2Auth: 'GTC',
	}
});
