Configuring an External Hotspot
Selecting the external option entails hosting your own external Web server using advanced Web content
(using XML, Flash). To create a hotspot maintained by an external server:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
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 External is selected from within
the This WLAN’s Web Pages are of the drop-down menu.
Main Logo URL The Main Logo URL is the URL for the main logo image displayed on the Failed
page when using the internal Web server. This option is only available if Internal
is chosen from the drop-down menu above.
Descriptive Text Specify any additional text containing instructions or information for the users
who access the Failed page on the internal Web server. This option is only
available if Internal is chosen from the drop-down menu above. The default text
is: Either the username and password are invalid, or service is unavailable at this
time.
NOTE: In multi-switch hotspot environments if a single switch’s internal pages are
configured for authentication on the other switches, those switches will redirect to their
own internal pages instead. In these environments is recommended to use an external
server for all of the switches.
