used for hotspot access. Defining these settings is required when the Use External URL
checkbox has been selected within the HTTP Redirection field

NOTE

If an external URL is used, the external Web pages are required to forward user credentials to the
access point, which in turn forwards them to the authentication Server (either onboard or external
server) in order to grant users Web access.

Use Default Files

Select the

Use Default Files

checkbox if the login, welcome and fail pages reside on the

access point.

Use External URL

Select the

Use External URL

checkbox to define a set of external URLs for hotspot users

to access the login, welcome and fail pages. To create a redirected page, you need to have
a TCP termination locally. On receiving the user credentials from the login page, the access
point connects to a radius server, determines the identity of the connected wireless user
and allows the user to access the Internet based on successful authentication.
