6.3.8 Wifidog
The feature, Wifidog, is available on indoor Atom UEs and may be used to build wireless hotspots. The
feature works in cooperation with a remote authentication server. When Wifidog is enabled, Wi-Fi
devices such as guest users will have to be authenticated through the remote authentication server.
NOTE 1: The feature requires a connection to an authentication server to function.
NOTE 2: Wifidog is not recommended for Baicells UEs using Power over Ethernet (PoE).
You can create a whitelist to identify which website addresses, or URLs, users are allowed to reach.
You can also limit the number of times that a user may try to log in within a configured time period
before failure to authenticate times out. These settings help to avoid unauthorized use of the network.
In the GUI, go to Network > Wifidog (Figure 24). Notice the 3 tabs in the window - Basic Settings,
Whitelist, and Advanced Settings. In the Basic Settings tab, enable Web authentication and enter the
authentication server address and authentication code. Click on SAVE & APPLY before leaving the tab.

In the Whitelist tab you can add URL addresses to be whitelisted – that is, allowed – without the user
having to authenticate (Figure 25). Separate each URL with a comma (,). For the free certification
equipment field, enter the hotspot users' device MAC addresses. Use a comma (,) to separate each
one. Click on SAVE & APPLY before leaving the tab.
