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.
To use the Advanced option to define the hotspot:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab.

For the Welcome page the following code must also be modified:
href="http://<ip address of the web server>/login.htm
If the above code is not modified and included, controller redirection may not work.

When using hotspot features in a cluster enviornment additional steps must be taken when
specifying the external URLs. In order for the browser to return the login information correctly
the IP address and port must be specified as part of the URL in the following format:
http://external_url<login | welcome | fail>.html?ip_address=a.b.c.d&port=x
