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
.
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.
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.
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 164 .
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.
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.
