Currently Micros-Fidelio Opera 4 PMS, Authorize.net SIM, Authorize.net AIM, and
CyberSource are the four billing/payment transaction account providers that work with
the BSC hotspot account generation feature.
Free guest accounts are also created using the Hotspot Account generation feature. Prior
to 6.5, Bluesocket supported three main (free) guest access methods:
•
Enter any email address on the login screen
•
Create a free hotspot account (entering any username/password)
•
Having a Front-Desk person use Windows GuestManager or BVMS to create the
account.
The problem with method 1 and 2 is that they do not verify the user – a fake email
address could be entered or a real email address that is an anonymous account. The
problem with method 3 is that there is manual involvement from the front-desk person.
Guests and IT Staff are looking for something easier. Two hotspot account generation
methods exist in 6.5: Friend and Family Freespot; and Guest-DNA.
For details on configuring Hotspot Account Generation, refer to the following sections:

This link leads users to a web page (see Figure 11-7) where they choose which wireless
access rate plan they want to purchase and create the account's name and password (the
