8 Configuring Guest Access
158 Installation and Configuration Guide: Airgo Access Point
Guest access is now configured. When guests attempt to access the network, they are directed to an
external landing page or to a standard user login screen. Upon entering the correct guest password
or server secret code, they are granted access to the guest VLAN. They are also given the COS and
encryption characteristics specified in the guest service profile.
Guest Access Services Panel
For summary information about guest access, use the Guest Access Configuration panel. The panel
opens to the Guest table
(Figure 115), which lists currently defined guest service profiles. The table
presents the following information:
Add guest access to the
SSID and specify an
internal or external
landing page for guest
users who attempt to
access the network.
1 Choose Guest Access Configuration from the Guest Access Services
menu to open the Guest table.
2 Click Add.
3 Confirm selection of the SSID and guest profile, as defined in the previous
task.
4 Select whether the landing page will be internal or external. If external,
enter a URL and an external web server secret code, which is the shared
secret code for communication between the AP and web server.
5 Click Apply.
For the internal landing
page, set a guest
password; for an external
landing page use the
RADIUS shared secret
code.
1 If Internal is selected as the landing page type, click Security to enter the
guest password.
2 Enter and confirm the password, and then click Apply.
Set up optional auto-
generation of guest
passwords
