Captive Portal Settings
A captive portal is a web page that a client on the network is directed to when the client wants to access
the Internet.
The client is authenticated on this page and is able to access the Internet after successful authentication.
A wireless profile can be configured to serve as a guest network to provide restricted wireless connectivity
(e.g., Internet only) to guest wireless clients. Multiple such guest networks are supported in AirTight Wi-Fi.
