By default, Connected Networks are unmanaged, i.e., ‘Managed Connected Network?’ is set to ‘No’. See Figure Add Connected Network. To create a Managed Connected Network, set ‘Managed Connected Network?’ to Yes. See Figure Add Managed Connected Network.

Note: The user can configure multiple local networks to be used based on the hierarchy. They can configure the local network for the crew of the site, a local network for the captain of the site, and a local network for the owner of the site distinctly.

To enter data in the respective fields, see table below.

Fields	Description
Network ID	Enter a unique numeric ID from 2 to 4090. For details about the network ID, click i icon next to the network ID. Network ID is known as a VLAN ID. Once the network ID is configured, user cannot modify or update the VLAN ID or network ID in the future.
Network Alias	Enter a unique alias of the network.
Interface IP	Enter an interface IP address and subnet mask.
Managed Connected Network	Click one of the following options. No. This indicates that by default, unmanaged connected network is configured. Yes. To manage and configure the connected network, click Yes. The network configuration section becomes available, see Figure Configure Managed Connected Network. The Managed Connected Network is the traditional VLANs’.
Captive Access Network	Captive Portal allows for each crew member/client to have a provisioned account with an associated Service Plan. The Account’s “service plan” is customized to match corporate policy (Quota, Duration, Traffic Policy – e.g., 10GB/month with defined traffic policies). Click one of the following options. No, Default option if Captive functionality is disabled on the Access Network. Yes. To enable Captive functionality on the Access Network.
WAN Profile and Traffic Policies
WAN Profile	Select a WAN Profile. A single WAN Profile, I.e., Default Profile will be created in the system after the OpenEdge System installation, and this profile will be assigned by default to any newly created Access Network. However, user can configure the distinct WAN profiles and assign to the Network. For details about configuring the WAN profiles, see section WAN Profiles.
Aggregate Traffic Policy	Select a Network Traffic Policy. A single Traffic Policy, I.e., Default Network will be created in the system after the OpenEdge System installation, and this policy will be assigned by default to any newly created Access Network. However, user can configure the distinct policies and assign to the Network. For details about configuring the network traffic policies, see section Traffic Policies.
Device Traffic Policy	Select a Device Traffic Policy. Initially, on Network creation, no Device Traffic Policy is assigned to the network. However, user can configure the distinct device traffic policy and assign to the network. For details about configuring the device traffic policies, see section Device Traffic Policies. The user can assign the traffic policy to a device from also General Settings. For details, see General Settings. However, the traffic policy assigned to a device from this step will override the traffic policy of that device. Shaping Policy
VPN	Select a configured VPN.
	To route the Access Network traffic through the VPN, edit the Access Network configuration to pick the configured VPN end point to route. This allows the OpenEdge System to VPN access networks to a Konnect VPN Server; this is most utilized between OpenEdge Systems. For details of VPN Configuration, see section VPN.
Internet Priority	Select an Internet Priority. For details, click i next to the Internet Priority, see below. Internet Priority
