Logging into your Administration Screens
The administration screens are used to manage your system, create and print tickets
for your users and view your system status. The administration screens also allow you
to view users on the system (Active Clients), view tickets not yet used, and to delete
tickets from the system. These screens are accessed through a web browser on your
computer, and can be accessed from inside the hotspot or from outside the hotspot
from anywhere on the internet. To learn how to access the system from outside the
hotspot see
Accessing Your System from the Internet
section in this guide.
To access CheckBox from inside the hotspot make sure your computer is connected to
the system,
either by a wireless connection or through a wired Ethernet port connected
to the CheckBox
. If you are connecting wirelessly select the wireless network “hotspot”,
the default name for the CheckBox wireless network. You can change this name later.
Open your web browser and you should see a generic welcome screen.
This is the welcome screen your guests will
see when they first log on to your hotspot
(you can customize this screen - see page
14). From here your guests are prompted
to enter a ticket number, credit card or any
of the access methods that you have
enabled before they can connect to the
internet. Of course you do not have tickets
since you have not yet created them! To
access the administration screens enter
the following in the address bar (NOT your
search box):
http://192.168.17.1:3456/admin
This will bring up a page warning
you that no password has yet
been set for the administration
screens for your CheckBox.
Create a password that is a
combination of letters and
numbers.
Do not use any spaces or special
characters (such as
&
,
*
,
@
,
!
)
Enter your chosen password twice and press
Set Password
. A box will pop up so that
you can test your password. If your are asked for a user name, leave the user name
box empty.
