4.

Use the

External URL

field to specify the location of the login page, welcome page and fail

page used for hotspot access. Defining these settings is required when the

Use External

URL

checkbox has been selected within the HTTP Redirection field

.

5.

Select the

Enable Hotspot User Timeout

checkbox 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 checkbox 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.

Use External URL

Select the

Use External URL

checkbox to define a set of external

URLs for hotspot users to access the login, welcome and fail pages.
To create a redirected page, you need to have a TCP termination
locally. On receiving the user credentials from the login page, the
access point connects to a radius server, determines the identity of
the connected wireless user and allows the user to access the
Internet based on successful authentication.

NOTE

If an external URL is used, the external Web pages are required to forward
user credentials to the access point, which in turn forwards them to the
authentication Server (either onboard or external server) in order to grant
users Web access.

Login Page URL

Define the complete URL for the location of the Login page. The
Login screen will prompt the hotspot user for a username and
password to access the Welcome page.

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.
