Using WEP and WPA Encryption

[musty28]

Our scale only supports WEP and WPA, which often forces me to use other brands of network devices or even a separate Wi-Fi device just for the scale. Could you please add at least WPA encryption support if possible?

Hello @musty28

In the 5.0.x firmware you can configure WEP and WPA encryption via the web UI:

In the draft firmware (5.1.x) configuring WEP or WPA encryption is more complicated, but still can be done via the command line interface (CLI).
Once you've configured the encryption via CLI the web UI will show it. As long as you don't change it there it will remain the same.

How to configure WPA for the Home network via the command line for 5.1.x firmware:
(to configure encryption for another segment choose a different mws wlan object)

Spoiler

(config)> mws wlan DEFAULT__
Mws::Wlan::Manager: WLAN "DEFAULT__" already exists.
(config-mws-wlan)> encryption wpa
Mws::Wlan::Manager: Set the encryption for WLAN "DEFAULT__" to "wpa".
(config-mws-wlan)> wpa psk some-password123
Mws::Wlan::Manager: Set the WPA PSK for WLAN "DEFAULT__".
(config-mws-wlan)> exit
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config)> system configuration save
Core::System::StartupConfig: Saving (cli).

Unfortunately, the web UI won't show you the password you've configured.

I entered the codes like this, but unfortunately, no device can see the network that was created.  

mws wlan starmarket

encryption wpa

wpa psk xxxxxxxx

exit

system configuration save

You need to select both bands for that mws wlan object, so it looks like this in the web UI:

(and save settings via the web UI after that)
