Web Interface Configuration Overview

In this section:

  1. Overview
    The controller provides Wi-Fi hotspot services in conjunction with external web portal servers. In most cases, an external web portal server provides the landing web pages with Wi-Fi hotspot usage instructions, terms and conditions, etc., while the end user submits his login ID and password directly to the AP for authentication.
  2. Creating Non-Proxy Authentication AAA Server
    A non-proxy AAA server is used when APs connect to the external AAA server directly.
  3. Creating Proxy Authentication AAA Servers
    A proxy AAA server is used when APs send authentication or accounting messages to the controller and the controller forwards these messages to an external AAA server.
  4. Creating Proxy Accounting AAA Servers
    A proxy AAA server is used when APs send authentication/accounting messages to the controller and the controller forwards these messages to an external AAA server.
  5. Creating a Hotspot (WISPr) Portal
    To create a hotspot service, you must define the required basic settings.
  6. Creating a WLAN Configuration (WISPr)
    To create a WLAN configuration:
  7. Request Format
    As defined in JSON commands, each request issued from an external web portal server is in JSON format.
  8. Controller Web Interface Configuration
    Each JSON request must be accompanied by a request password that is preconfigured on the controller, as well as on the external web portal server.
