Using Secure HotSpot
You can enable your Safe@Office appliance as a public Internet access hotspot for
specific networks. When users on those networks attempt to access the Internet,
they are automatically re-directed to the My HotSpot page http://my.hotspot. On
this page, they must read and accept the My HotSpot terms of use, and if My
HotSpot is configured to be password-protected, they must log on using their
Safe@Office username and password. The users may then access the Internet.
Users can also log out in the My HotSpot page.
Note: HotSpot users are automatically logged out after one hour of inactivity.
Safe@Office Secure HotSpot is useful in any wired or wireless environment where
Web-based user authentication or terms-of-use approval is required prior to gaining
access to the network. For example, Secure HotSpot can be used in public
computer labs, educational institutions, libraries, Internet cafés, and so on.
The Safe@Office appliance allows you to add guest users quickly and easily. By
default, guest users are given a username and password that expire in 24 hours and
granted HotSpot Access permissions only. For information on adding quick guest
users, see Adding Quick Guest Users on page 369.
