Venue information and group

Information about the access point's location is managed using the table Venue information and the subsequent dialogs Venue group and Venue type code.

In the event of a manual search, additional details on the Venue information help a user to select the correct hotspot. If more than one operator (e.g., multiple cafés) in a single hotspot zone uses the same SSID, the user can clearly identify the appropriate location using the venue information.

You can place your device in a predefined category using the Venue group and Venue type code – as opposed to the user-defined location information.

Language

You have the ability to specify custom information for the location of the access point for each language. The location name that matches your user's language will then be displayed. If a language is not available for a user, its station chooses one based, for example, on the default language.

Location name

Enter a short description of the location of your device for the selected language, for example:

Ice Café Valencia
123 Street
City, State 12345 

The Venue group describes the environment where you operate the access point. You define them globally for all languages. The possible values, which are set by the "venue group code", are specified in the 802.11u standard.

Using the Venue type code, you have the option to specify the details for the venue group. These values are also specified by the standard. The possible type codes can be found in the following table.
