Configuring External Hotspot
Selecting the external option entails hosting your own external Web server using advanced Web content
(using XML, Flash). To create a hotspot maintained by an external server:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree. Select an existing WLAN from those
displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit button.
Main Logo URL Displays the URL for the main logo image displayed on the Failed page when using the
switch’s internal Web server. This option is only available if Internal is chosen from the drop-
down menu above.
Descriptive Text Specify any additional text containing instructions or information for the users who access
the Failed page. This option is only available if Internal is chosen from the drop-down menu
above. The default text is: “Either the username and password are invalid, or service is
unavailable at this time.”
NOTE: In certain instances, an associated MU may not be able to ping the host within the
hotspot. For instance, a hotspot supported WLAN is enabled. Within the Allowed List, a
network (157.235.95.0) is added. An MU is associated, and an IP address is obtained for
the MU. The MU is then unsuccessful in pinging the host IP address (157.235.95.54) from
within the hotspot. Consequently, the Allowed List should be used for host IPs only.
