5. Select the Enable Hotspot User Timeout check box to define a timeout interval forcing users
(when exceeded) to re-establish their login credentials to continue using the access point
supported hotspot.
Leaving the check box unselected is not recommended unless you plan to provide unlimited
hotspot support to users.
If this option is selected, enter an interval (between 15 and 180 minutes). When the provided
interval is exceeded, the user is logged out of their hotspot session and forced to login to the
hotspot again to access to the hotspot supported WLAN. The default timeout interval is 15
minutes.
NOTE
The Enable Hotspot User Timeout option is only available if using the access point’s internal
Radius Server for user authentication.
6. Click the White List Entries button (within the WhiteList Configuration field) to create a set of
allowed destination IP addresses. These allowed destination IP addresses are called a White
List. Ten configurable IP addresses are allowed for each WLAN. For more information, see
“Defining the hotspot White List” on page 117.
NOTE
If using an external Web Server over the WAN port, and the hotspot’s HTTP pages (login or
welcome) redirect to the access point’s WAN IP address for CGI scripts, the IP address of the
external Web server and the access point’s WAN IP address should be entered in the White
List.
7. Refer to the Radius Accounting field to enable Radius accounting and specify the a timeout
and retry value for the Radius server.
Welcome Page URL Define the complete URL for the location of the Welcome page. The
Welcome page asserts the hotspot user has logged in successfully and can
access the Internet.
Fail Page URL Define the complete URL for the location of the Fail page. The Fail screen
asserts the hotspot authentication attempt failed, you are not allowed to
access the Internet and you need to provide correct login information to
access the Internet.
Enable Accounting Select the Enable Accounting checkbox to enable a Radius Accounting
Server used for Radius authentication for a target hotspot user.
Server Address Specify an IP address for the external Radius Accounting server used to
provide Radius accounting for the hotspot. If using this option, an internal
Radius server cannot be used. The IP address of the internal Radius server
is fixed at 127.0.0.1 and cannot be used for the external Radius server.
Radius Port Specify the port on which the Radius accounting server is listening.
Shared Secret Specify a shared secret for accounting authentication for the hotspot. The
shared secret is required to match the shared secret on the external Radius
accounting server.
