Authentication

Use either the Captive Portal or MAC Authentication tools to set up a Wi-Fi Hotspot using the NTC-400 Series Router router.
6.3.1

Captive Portal

A captive portal, also known as a gateway, is a portal web page that is displayed before a user can browse Internet through
your router. The portal is often used to present a login web page which can include an authentication process and/or
payment, or simply display an acceptable use policy and require the user to agree. Captive portals are used to provide Wi‐Fi
hotspot services or can be used to control wired access, for example: apartment buildings, hotel rooms, business premises,
"open" Ethernet jacks, etc.
The gateway supporting the Captive Portal function can be implemented via two approaches: External Web Portal or
Internal Web Portal
For an external captive portal, you must specify an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server and
an external UAM (Universal Access Method) server. In contrast, the internal captive portal uses the "Internal RADIUS Server"
