Hotspot Services
A hotspot is a venue or area that provides wireless Internet access to devices with wireless networking
capability, such laptops, PDAs, and other portable devices. Hotspots are usually available in public venues
such as hotels, airports, restaurants, and shopping malls.
The NXA-WAPZD1000 has a built-in hotspot feature that you can enable and configure to provide hotspot
service to users via its WLANs. In addition to the NXA-WAPZD1000 and its managed APs, you will need the
following to deploy a hotspot:
Captive Portal: A special Web page, typically a logon page, to which users that have associated
with your hotspot will be redirected for authentication purposes. Users will need to enter a valid
user name and password before they are allowed access to the Internet through the hotspot. Open
source captive portal packages, such as Chillispot, are available on the Internet.
RADIUS Server: A Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) through which users
can authenticate.
For installation and configuration instructions for the captive portal and RADIUS server software, refer to the
documentation that was provided with them.
