WTware supports WiFi only if terminal boots from local media (CD-ROM, hard disk, USB-flash).

To work with WiFi when terminal boots from USB or SD-card select in wizard:

When WTware terminal boots press Del (when you see "Press Del to enter Setup"), goto terminal management menu and select:

You may create your own WPA settings file, name it wpa_supplicant.conf and save to configs directory on boot flash. If WTware finds such file, it won't ask network name and password for WPA authentification. Example of the simplest wpa_supplicant.conf file:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
   ssid="put-wifi-ssid-here"
   psk="put-wifi-password-here"
}

To work with "hidden" network with disabled SSID broadcast, add one line:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
   ssid="put-wifi-ssid-here"
   scan_ssid=1
   psk="put-wifi-password-here"
}
