  • SSIDs of the WISP's wireless networks

  • WISP branding information

  • Location of the WISP's wireless hotspots

  • Help files

  • Data required to log on to a WISP network, such as register and connection data

The following list describes the WPS subfiles that can be included within the WPS Master file:

  • SSID
    This file contains the list of the WISP's wireless networks. The XML data in this file is based on the SSID schema.

  • Locations
    This file contains the list of the geographic locations for the WISP's wireless hotspots. The XML data in this file is based on the Locations schema.

  • Connection
