Configuring an Advanced Hotspot. A customer may wish to use advanced Web content (XML, Flash) but
might not have (or would not want to use) an external Web server, choosing instead to host the Web
pages on the controller's HTTP Web server. Selecting the Advanced option allows for importing the Web
pages from an external source (like an FTP server) and hosting them on the controller.
