Parameter
Description
Splash page type
Select any of the following from the drop-down list.
•
Internal - Authenticated—When Internal Authenticated is ena-
bled, the guest users are required to authenticate in the cap-
tive portal page to access the Internet. The guest users who
are required to authenticate must already be added to the user
database.
•
Internal - Acknowledged—When Internal Acknowledged is
enabled, the guest users are required to accept the terms and
conditions to access the Internet.
MAC authentication
Select Enabled from the Mac Authentication drop-down list to
enable MAC authentication.
Delimiter character
Specify a character ( for example, colon or dash) as a delimiter for
the MAC address string. When configured, the AP will use the
delimiter in the MAC authentication request. For example, if you
specify colon as the delimiter, MAC addresses in the
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format are used. If the delimiter is not specified,
the MAC address in the xxxxxxxxxxxx format is used.
NOTE: This option is available only when MAC authentication is
enabled.
