Configuring an Internal Hotspot
Using the Internal option means the user develops the hotspot using the three HTML pages made available
on the switch's onboard HTTP server. The HTML pages are pre-created to collect login credentials through
Login.htm, send them to a Radius server and display a Welcome.htm or a Faliure.htm depending on the result
of the authentication attempt.
To create a hotspot maintained by the switch’s own internal resources:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree. Select an existing WLAN from those
displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit button.
2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit button.
3. Select the Hotspot button from within the Authentication field. Ensure Internal is selected from within
the This WLAN’s Web Pages are of the drop-down menu.
NOTE: The appearance of the Hotspot screen differs depending on which option is
selected from the drop-down menu. You may want to research the options available
before deciding which hotspot option to select.
NOTE: As part of the hotspot configuration process, ensure a primary and optional
secondary Radius Server have been properly configured to authenticate the users
requesting access to the hotspot supported WLAN. For more information on configuring
Radius Server support for the hotspot supported WLAN, see Configuring External Radius
Server Support on page 4-49.
NOTE: When using an internal hotspot, ensure that traffic can pass on TCP port 444
between the switch’s internal Web server and the hotspot clients.
