2. Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
3. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
4. Select Services .

5. Refer to the Captive Portal Hosting field to set or override a guest access configuration (captive portal) for use with this
profile.
A captive portal is guest access policy for providing temporary and restrictive access to the network. The primary means of
securing such guest access is a captive portal.
A captive portal configuration provides secure authenticated access using a standard Web browser. A captive portal
provides authenticated access by capturing and re-directing a user's Web browser session to a captive portal login page
where the user must enter valid credentials to access to the network. Once logged into the captive portal, additional
Agreement , Welcome and Fail pages provide the administrator with a number of options on the captive portal’s screen flow
and user appearance.
NOTE: A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having
an override applied. To remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen’s
Device Overrides field and select Clear Overrides . This will remove all overrides
from the device.
