Dashboard Access

Chapter 2 Setting Up BBSM Hotspot

Understanding the BBSM Hotspot Dashboard

The Dashboard is the BBSM Hotspot home page for accessing BBSM Hotspot options. (See

Figure 2-18.)

Figure 2-18 Dashboard

You can access the Dashboard locally or remotely:

•To access the Dashboard locally, at the BBSM Hotspot console, double-click the Dashboard icon on the desktop. The Dashboard appears. You can also choose Start > BBSM Hotspot Dashboard.

•To access the Dashboard remotely, launch Internet Explorer to access the BBSM Hotspot server on port 9488 instead of through the default web server port 80, as shown below. Use one of the following IP addresses:

–If you are accessing BBSM Hotspot from a remote location, enter BBSM Hotspot’s external IP address: http://<external_NIC_address>:9488/www, where <external_NIC_address> is the external NIC address of the BBSM Hotspot server you want to access; for example, type http://192.168.38.1:9488/www, and press Enter. The Enter Network Password dialog box appears. (See Figure 2-19.)

–If you are accessing the BBSM Hotspot server within BBSM Hotspot’s subnet, enter the BBSM Hotspot server’s internal IP address: http://<internal_IP_address>:9488/www, where <internal_IP_address> is the internal IP address of the BBSM Hotspot server you want to access; for example, type http://192.168.10.1:9488/www, and press Enter. The Enter Network Password dialog box appears. (See Figure 2-19.)

Note To access the Dashboard from BBSM Hotspot’s internal subnet, the end user’s client must have either an IP address in the Network Devices address range or an active BBSM Hotspot session. If neither of these is true, the end user will be redirected to the Start page for the port that they are connected to.
