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 13). 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.
