Adding an additional network can take several minutes as the system has
to set up the network routes, login screens and update the access points.
Your second guest network will
have it’s own welcome page,
separate graphics and branding
and it’s own set of rules and tick-
ets and PermaCodes. You can
set up the welcome page and
other options under
Customize
Site and
Access Controls
Admin Network
With CheckBox MultiNet you can add a third, private network for manage-
ment use. This network doesn’t use tickets or PermaCodes like the guest
network, instead it uses an encryption key and is secured with WPA2
encryption.
If you would like to enable the Admin
Network select Admin Network from
the gray menu bar.
You will not be able to set the op-
tions for the Admin Network until you
select
Enabled.
After enabling the Admin Network, set your SSID and WPA2 key.
The
SSID must be different than the SSID used for your guest network(s) or
your admin network. A WPA2 key is required to set up the Admin Net-
work.
The WPA key is a private key or password used by devices connecting to
the admin network. This key should never be shared with guests and only
shared with employees that need it to set up and manage devices on the
Admin Network. The WPA key can be any string of numbers and letters
you choose, but can not include spaces or symbols. It must be at least 8
characters long and can be as long as 63 characters. The longer the
string the more secure the key is.
After entering your WPA2 key select
Update
. And Wait.
Adding an additional network can take several minutes as the system has
to set up the network routes and update the access points. Changes
make take a few moments to take effect, and if you are connected to the
CheckBox wirelessly your connection may be dropped.
When only Guest networks are enabled the LAN ports on the CheckBox
controller will connect any wired device (PCs, point-of-sale, cameras, etc.)
to Guest Network 1. When you enable the Admin network any device
wired to the CheckBox controller will be connected to the Admin network.
Devices connected wirelessly through a CheckBox access point will be
connected to the network associated with it’s SSID (Guest 1, Guest 2,or
Admin) and routed according to the rules set up for that network.
