3. Configure the External Portal parameters. Refer to Configure External Portal Parameters below for
details.
4. Select the Roaming check box, if you don't want the Wi-Fi clients to see the splash page when they
roam from one AP to another.
5.
Select the Enable Internet Connectivity Detection check box, if you want to check the internet
connectivity and display a portal error page in case of loss of Internet connectivity.
The 'Enable Internet Connectivity Detection' feature can be used to provide feedback to guests when
Internet is temporarily unavailable on the guest SSID. When the access point detects that Internet
connectivity is not available from the guest VLAN, it automatically redirects all HTTP requests of the
guest users to a splash page with a message that Internet is temporarily unavailable. When using the
AP Hosted Splash Page for Click-through option, a customized splash page included in the bundle
with the name “NoInternet.html” is displayed when Internet is down. If this page is not included in the
bundle or if external splash page options have been configured, the AP displays a factory default
splash page when internet is down.
Note that when Internet is down, guest users will not be able to access local HTTP services as well if
the Enable Internet Connectivity Detection feature is enabled.
The Enable Internet Connectivity Detection feature will not work for a SSID profile configured with
GRE.
6.
Specify Login Timeout, in minutes, for which a wireless user can access the guest network after
submitting the portal page.
After the timeout, access to guest network is stopped and the portal page is displayed again. The
user has to submit the portal page to regain access to the guest network. If the user disconnects and
reconnects to the guest network before his session times out, he does not have to enter his
credentials on the splash page. If you are using AirTight Guest Manager and you have specified a
login timeout in AirTight Guest Manager, this login timeout overrides the Login Timeout setting in the
SSID profile.
7.
Specify Blackout Time, in minutes. This is the time for which a user is not allowed to login after his
previous successful session was timed out.
For example, if the session time-out is 1 hour and the blackout time is 30 mins, a user will be timed
out one hour after a successful login. Now after this point, the user will not be able to login again for
30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, the user can login again.
8.
Specify the Redirect URL. The browser is redirected to this URL after the user clicks the submit
button on the portal page.
If left empty, the browser is redirected to the original URL accessed from the browser for which the
portal page was displayed.
9.
Specify the value of the Service Identifier that you have defined in Advanced Parameters. This is a
free form parameter that can be passed to the external portal.
