2.3.2.7.3 Authentication Free User's List
You may add entries for User's MAC Address.
These users would not need any authentication at all and can get immediate access to the network. For
example, the boss of the company could be in the authentication free list.
This list works for all Hotspot Modes.
2.3.2.8 Logging-in to the Hotspot
When a hotspot user opens an Internet browser on the computer, it would automatically show the
hotspot login page. To quickly see the hotspot login page, the user could enter a simple URL in the
Internet browser, e.g.,

1.0.0.1

8.8.8.8

bing.com
When a user connects the mobile/smart phone to the hotspot wireless network, the hotspot login page
should automatically appear. Otherwise, the user could open the default Internet browser app or
Chrome app on their mobile phone to see the login page.
2.3.2.9 Possible Hotspot Scenarios
The WAN interface could be set as one of the Ethernet ports. This means that the wireless networks
provided by the hotspot AP would be in the LAN zone. Users can connect within the LAN zone to see
the hotspot login page.
The wireless distribution system (WDS) can also be used to increase the coverage. More information is
found in Section 2.4.5.2 Interface
