Table 1: Site Configuration Settings
Section Description More Information
Information Enter your site name, country, and time zone. Juniper Mist generates the Site ID, which cannot be changed.  
Location Enter your location. Set the Site Location
Notes Enter notes, as needed.  
RF Template If you want assign an RF template to this site, select the template. Radio Settings (RF Templates) in the Juniper Mist Wireless Guide
Site Groups For more efficient configuration and management, add similar sites to site groups. Site Groups
AP Firmware Upgrade Enable automatic updates and set the upgrade schedule. Enable Auto Updates in the Juniper Mist Wireless Guide
Bluetooth based Location Services Enable features for location-based services. Juniper Mist Location Services Guide
WiFi Location Settings If you enable this option, you also can opt to include or exclude unconnected wireless clients in occupancy analytics. Juniper Mist Analytics Guide
Access Point Settings Select the features that you want to enable for the access points (APs) at this site.

  • Local Status Page—Client devices can use the Local Status Page to get information about the AP that they're connected to. If you enable this option, enter the hostname, which is the address where users can view this page.

  • Automatically Revert Configuration—When you enable this feature, the APs at this site can automatically revert to their last known good configuration if they get disconnected from the cloud. This feature is applicable to all APs that are running 0.7.x firmware or newer.

 
Wireless Mesh

A mesh network is a group of connectivity devices, such as APs, that act as a single network. Use this option to enable a wireless mesh network at the site level. After you enable the mesh network, you can then configure mesh settings for each AP on the Access Points page of the portal.

 Enable Mesh in the Juniper Mist Wireless Guide
DFS Scanning

If you enable wireless mesh, this option also appears. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) prevents channel conflicts with systems such as weather radar, commonly located in airports. If a conflict is detected, the AP switches to a new channel.

 
Switch Management Enter the root password and enable or disable switch proxy.  
WAN Edge Management Enter the root password.  
Session Smart Conductor Enter up to two comma-separated IP addresses.  
Site Proxy

You can use a proxy server as a middleman between your local network and the Internet. Using a proxy server can provide extra security as well as a more controlled network environment.

To integrate a proxy server with the Juniper Mist cloud, enter the proxy URL. Use this format: http://user:password@proxy.internal:8080.

Once this feature is enabled, the configuration is pushed out to the access points. All transactions will then go through the proxy server. The proxy server will change the client’s IP address to its own and send the traffic to the remote system. It will handle the reply from the remote system in the same way.

  
Engagement Analytics If you enable this features, Engagement Analytics is available on the Analytics menu. Set the dwell time categories and the days and times to monitor. Set the Engagement Dwell Limits and Schedule for a Site
Occupancy Analytics Set the parameters for the occupancy data on the Occupancy Analytics page. Set Up Occupancy Analytics for a Site
Webhooks Add and manage webhooks, which push notifications of Juniper Mist alarms and events to a server that you specify. Juniper Mist Automation and Integration Guide
Security Configuration Enable Juniper Mist to detect APs that might pose a security risk to your network. If you enable these options, these threats will be detected and displayed on the Security page. Rogues, Honeypots, and Neighbor APs in the Juniper Mist Wireless Guide
AP Config Persistence When you enable this feature, APs at this site store their last known configuration for fast retrieval. Enable Configuration Persistence in the Juniper Mist Wireless Guide
AP Uplink Monitoring

Enable this feature if you want APs to monitor their uplink Ethernet ports for link status and automatically disable their WLANs upon loss of link.

You might opt to disable this feature during special circumstances, such as an AP survey, when you expect APs to have power but no Ethernet link.

Note:

Uplink monitoring is automatically disabled for mesh relay APs.

 		 
Juniper ATP

Integration with Juniper Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Cloud adds another layer of security.

If you enable this feature, also select the Send IP-MAC Mapping to Juniper ATP check box. This option allows better tracking of client hosts because Juniper Mist supplies the MAC addresses to Juniper ATP Cloud.

Note:

To complete the integration, you also need to enroll your SRX Series Firewalls in the Juniper ATP Cloud realm and enable the Juniper Mist integration in the Juniper ATP Cloud portal.

Mist Tunnels For site-level Juniper Mist Edge clusters, configure tunnels for this site.  
Radius Proxy For site-level Juniper Mist Edge clusters, enable Radius Proxy and add the RADIUS servers.
Note:

First enable the site-level Juniper Mist Edge tunnels.

  
Upstream Resource Monitoring For site-level Juniper Mist Edge clusters, you can enable this feature to monitor the health of the upstream resources that you specify. If the health check fails, the Juniper Mist Edge prompts the APs to failover to the next member and shuts down the tunnel terminator service until the upstream resources are healthy and reachable again.  
CoA/DM Server If you enabled Radius Proxy, you can also add CoA/DM servers. Change of Authorization (CoA) in the Juniper Mist Wireless Guide
WAN Edge Advanced Security As part of the SD-WAN configuration procedures, set the time and day for auto-upgrades. Also select My SRX devices have an App Track license.
Note:

Valid licenses must be loaded onto the SRX devices.

  
Site Variables Add variables to use in your configuration templates, such as WLAN and WAN Edge templates. Configure Site Variables
Zones

A proximity zone is an RSSI-based feature that applies to individual or grouped APs. RSSI data from the clients triggers the zone entry and exit events.

To add a zone, click the button. In the Generate Proximity Zones window, select the check boxes for the APs to include in the zone. Enter a name for the zone, and set the Distance, which is the RSSI level that triggers zone events. Repeat these steps for each zone that you want to create.

Note:

You also can add proximity zones to a floorplan on the Location Live View page.
