Configuring WISPr Authentication
Instant supports the following smart clients:
n iPass
n Boingo
These smart clients enable client authentication and roaming between hotspots by embedding iPass Generic
Interface Specification (GIS) redirect, authentication, and logoff messages within HTML messages that are sent
to the W-IAP.

Authenticated and External - RADIUS Server captive portal authentication. Select the Internal –
