Hotspot Services; Captive Portal - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

Hotspot Services

A hotspot is a wireless network that provides access through a captive portal. Use this feature to setup
captive portal related configurations.
A captive portal provides registered users with network access while containing unregistered users.
Users will need to enter a valid user name and password before they are allowed access to the Internet
through the hotspot. Once a Captive Portal Profile is created, the administrator can apply this profile to
multiple Guest Networks SSIDs.
Note: Captive portal profiles can only be assigned to the Guest Network SSIDs.
