Step 3: Generate a Guest Pass

• Guest Name: Enter guest name.
• Guest WLAN: Select the guest WLAN from the drop down menu.
• Number of Passes: Enter number of guest passes to be generated.
• Pass Valid For: Set the validity for the guest pass by entering the number and selecting the period from the drop-down menu. For example, if you want the guest pass to be valid for seven days, type 7 in the first box, and then select Days in the second box.

Under Advance Options tab complete the following fields:

• Pass Generation: The Auto Generate option is ON by default, and it generates the guest pass key automatically. If you want to generate the guest pass key manually, turn it OFF and enter the guest pass key in the Pass Value field.
  Note: If Number of Passes is more than one, the Pass Generation field will be disabled.
• Pass Effective Since: Set the guest pass validity period by selecting one of the following options:
  • Effective from the creation time: This type of guest pass is valid from the time it is created to the specified expiration time, even if it is not being used by any end user.
  • Effective from first use: This type of guest pass is valid from the time the user uses it to authenticate with the controller until the specified expiration time. An additional parameter (Guest Pass will expire in X days) can be configured to specify when an unused guest pass will expire regardless of use. The default is 7 days.
  • Expire new guest pass if not used within [ ] days: If you want this guest pass to expire if it is unused after you generated it, type the number of days in the box (maximum value is 365 days).
• Max Devices Allowed: Set the number of users that can share this guest pass by selecting one of the following options:
  • Limited to [ ]: If you want a limited number of users to share this guest pass, click this option, and then type the number in the box.
  • Unlimited: Enable this option If you want to share the guest pass with unlimited users.
  • Session Duration: This option is available only if the Unlimited option is enabled and the Session Duration option is ON. Enter the session time in the Require guest re-login after [ ] field. The session time can be set in minutes, hours, days, and weeks. This option controls the session time for users. When the session time expires, the user must log in again. This option is enabled by default. To disable it, turn it OFF. When this feature is disabled, connected users will not be required to log in again until the guest pass expires.
• Remarks: This is optional. Use this option to add any notes about the guest pass.
