AnchorPoint1  url
URL of server acting as the corporate
anchor point.
AnchorPoint2  url
URL to be used if AnchorPoint1 is not
available.
Latency number To accept the connection as usable, the
anchor point must be reachable within this
latency time (seconds).
ResponsePattern string The server must send back a response
matching this response pattern.
Server url The name of the anchor point. The Open
Internet Anchor Point is used to check
whether the internet in general is
reachable, and whether the user’s standard
web browser should be opened to show a
landing page.
Whenever the highest-prioritised open
connection changes, or a connection is
opened manually, ABC issues an HTTP GET
request over the connection to the Open
Internet Anchor Point. If ABC does not get
the expected response, it will also open
the user’s browser at the Open Internet
Anchor Point.
The browser's HTTP GET request might
then be re-directed to a landing page. If
the connection is a WebSessions
connection, the user will be able to
purchase a session on the landing page. If
it is a Wi-Fi connection, the user might get
a landing page for authorisation.
When no Open Internet Anchor Point has
been defined by the OpCo, ABC will always
assume that the internet is reachable
when a connection has been opened.
