Connecting a Client to BBSM Hotspot
Figure 2-21 FreeAccess Start Page
The following example shows how an end user using a wireless NIC connects to the Internet using
BBSM Hotspot. In the example, a coffee shop has purchased a BBSM Hotspot server, set it up, and
selected the FreeAccess web page. The end user does the following:
Step 1 Turn on your laptop and open your web browser. The FreeAccess web page should appear.
Step 2 If the Start page does not appear, contact property staff for information on configuring your wireless
NIC.
Step 3 After verifying the configuration of the wireless NIC, open the web browser. The FreeAccess Start page
appears.
Note If the Start page does not appear, refer to the troubleshooting section, “No Start Page Received
by End User” section on page 4-31 , for probable causes and corrective action.
Step 4 The end user is then redirected to a “Connecting...” window and then to the end user’s configured initial
page.
