Working with Hotspot Services

A hotspot is a venue or area that provides Internet access to devices with wireless 
networking capability such as notebooks and smartphones. Hotspots are 
commonly available in public venues such as hotels, airports, coffee shops and 
shopping malls.

ZoneDirector provides two types of Hotspot services based on the WISPr (Wireless 
Internet Service Provider roaming) 1.0 and 2.0 specifications, as described in the 
following sections:

•

Creating a Hotspot Service

•

Creating a Hotspot 2.0 Service

Creating a Hotspot Service

ZoneDirector’s 

Configure > Hotspot Services

 page can be used to configure a 

traditional (WISPr 1.0) hotspot service to provide public access to users via its 
WLANs. In addition to ZoneDirector and its managed APs, you will need the following 
to deploy a hotspot:

•

Captive Portal

: A special web page, typically a login page, to which users that 

have associated with your hotspot will be redirected for authentication purposes. 
Users will need to enter a valid user name and password before they are allowed 
access to the Internet through the hotspot. Open source captive portal pack-
