MAC Registration
Configuring WLAN Security
The MAC Registration feature provides returning captive portal users quicker access to the captive
portal.
When a user accesses the captive portal for the first time, user information is gathered and stored.
This information is matched with the MAC address of the device accessing the captive portal. This
information is stored on board the access point.
The next time the user accesses the captive portal service using the same device, he/she is
authenticated immediately as the MAC address of the device is available in the access point’s
database along with the user’s identification information. The user saves time as identification
information is not collected again speeding the logon.
