Figure 5-11 AP Communicating with Hotspot Aggregator
The following steps describe how you should configure the AP-2500 if you are partnered with a hotspot aggregator:
1. Follow the installation steps described in Internal Authentication and Internal Authentication with RADIUS.
Configure the RADIUS Authentication and Accounting settings as required by your hotspot aggregator.
In general, the aggregator should supply you with the settings of a RADIUS server on the Internet that
performs AAA functions for the aggregator’s subscribers.
2. Click PublicSpace > AAA > Internal to update the AAA Internal Web Server options so they match the following
settings (if necessary):
Place a check mark in the Enable SSL box and enter the Certificate DNS Name (this is optional but
recommended to provide subscribers with a secure login).
If using SSL, you must download keys to the AP first. See Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Place a check mark in the Enable Portal Page box and enter the page’s location in the Portal Page URL field
if you want to provide a custom login page to subscribers.
See Portal Page.
You must also enter the portal page address in the Passthrough Addresses table.
Place a check mark in the Enable Smart Client box.
Place a check mark in the Enable User Names box.
Remove the check mark from the Enable New Subscribers box (that is, disable support for new subscribers).
Remove the check mark from the Enable Credit Card Services box (that is, disable credit card services).
