Customizing a Hotspot Display
Each access point WLAN can have a unique hotspot configured and mapped to that WLAN. This
enables each Access Point WLAN to have an optimized hotspot configuration and applet display in
respect to the WLAN's client support needs.
The hotspot's login, welcome and fail (login failure) pages are separate HTML files that can be content
customized for each WLAN using a cascading style sheet (css). These screens can be customized in one of
two ways:
By customizing the text and fonts displaying within the screens
●
By customizing the properties (background color, logos etc.) of the screens themselves
●
The css contains the styling information for all the elements on the screens. This includes the font of
displayed text as well as image placement and sizing. The css contains an exhaustive list of text and
image properties which can altered by professional installer to customize the appearance of the hotspot.
Extreme Networks provides a default set of HTML files for the login, welcome and fail pages, and one
css file that's referenced by these HTML files. The professional installer is also provided two default
images which can be manipulated as required. Thus by default, each hotspot directory contains 3
HTML files, 1 css file and 2 images (small and large logos). Of these 5 files, the css file is used to
customize the other pages. The files are hosted on the Access Point and imported to clients via an FTP
download option provided by the Access Point's applet and the CLI. Once the css and HTML file
editing is completed, they can be exported back to the access using FTP again.
To configure a customized WLAN hotspot:
1 Ensure the Enable Hotspot checkbox is selected from within the target WLAN screen, and ensure the
WLAN is properly configured.
2 Click the Configure Hotspot button within the WLAN screen to display the Hotspot Configuration
screen for that target WLAN.
3 Select Customize Hotspot Pages from within the Internal Web Page Configuration field.
4 Define the customized text you would like displayed for this WLAN's login, welcome and failure
pages by selecting each page from the HTML Files drop-down menu.
