broadcasting it’s SSID. This SSID is a name that your guests will see when their
laptops connect to the CheckBox system. By default this name is hotspot, which lets
the guests know they have found a public hotspot. If you wish to change the SSID
select
wireless
from the drop down menu under Network Setup. Enter in the new
name and press update. It is important that your name contain only letters and
numbers - no spaces or symbols.
Under
Wireless
you may also change the system channel. There are 11 channels
allocated for wireless networks. By default CheckBox is set to channel 6. Different
networks can co-exist on the same channel in the same area, however if you are
running another network or there are other networks in your area you may wish to
change the channel. Simply select the channel from the drop down box and press
update.
A Note About Time & Tickets
Your CheckBox system sets it’s internal clock from a time server on the
internet. The first time the unit powers up, or after it has been unplugged, it
will attempt to connect to one of many time servers on the internet to set it’s clock,
including the date and year. Since tickets are time and date sensitive if the system
does not know what time it is it can not determine if a ticket is still valid.
If the system can not set it’s clock for some reason (i.e. your internet connection is not
set up or your internet service provider is down) it will not generate tickets or allow
users on the system. Users will receive a screen that let’s them know that the system
is temporarily unavailable. You will still be able to access the administrative pages.
