9.2 Setting the Whitelist Configuration
A DNS whitelist is used in conjunction with a captive portal to provide hotspot services to wireless clients. Use the
WING 5 DNS Whitelist parameter to create a set of allowed destination IP addresses within the captive portal. These
allowed IP addresses are called the Whitelist. To effectively host hotspot pages on an external Web server, the IP
address of the destination Web server(s) should be in the Whitelist. Each supported access point model can support
up to 32 Whitelists, with the exception of AP-6511 and AP-6521 models which can only support up to 16 Whitelists.
