13.5 Configuring External Captive Portal for Guest Network
Description
If required, configure a captive portal proxy server or a global proxy
server to match your browser configuration by specifying the IP
address and port number in the Captive-portal proxy server text
box.
Select Enabled if you want to enable WISPr authentication. For
more information on WISPr authentication, see Configuring WISPr
Authentication (Page 233).
NOTE: The WISPr authentication is applicable only for the External
and Internal- Authenticated splash pages and is not applicable for
wired profiles.
Select Enabled if you want to enable MAC authentication. For in-
formation on MAC authentication, see Configuring MAC Authentica-
tion for a Network Profile (Page 229).
Specify a character ( for example, colon or dash) as a delimiter for
the MAC address string. When configured, the AP will use the de-
limiter in the MAC authentication request. For example, if you speci-
fy colon as the delimiter, MAC addresses in the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
format are used. If the delimiter is not specified, the MAC address in
the xxxxxxxxxxxx format is used.
NOTE: This option is available only when MAC authentication is
enabled.
Set to Enabled to allow the AP to use uppercase letters in MAC
address string for MAC authentication.
NOTE: This option is available only if MAC authentication is ena-
bled.
To configure an authentication server, select any of the following
options:
If the server is already configured, select the server from the list.

To create new external RADIUS server, select New. For more
•
information, see Configuring an External Server for Authentica-
tion (Page 209).
Specify a value for the reauthentication interval at which the APs
periodically reauthenticate all associated and authenticated clients.
Select an accounting mode from the Accounting mode drop-down
list for posting accounting information at the specified Accounting
interval. When the accounting mode is set to Authentication, the
accounting starts only after client authentication is successful and
stops when the client logs out of the network. If the accounting
mode is set to Association, the accounting starts when the client
associates to the network successfully and stops when the client is
disconnected.
