As mentioned previously, your device contains a set of pre-installed pages on delivery, which you can use to setup an operational Public Spot. There are pages for
- HTTP redirection,
- Login/logout function,
- Status Information.
They were deliberately designed to be simple, not to use any fancy features like dynamic HTML, and just present the necessary elements as-is. By only using the absolutely necessary elements, the correct display in any browser and any size of screen can be assured.
As the operator of a hotspot you may want to design more sophisticated pages or display a more neutral page without the manufacturer's logo. For that reason, the Public Spot module offers you the possibility to replace all or some of the default pages with your own design. This can be done either by using HTTP redirection or templates that you upload to the device and that the device processes like an intelligent HTML pre-processor. The templates can be directly loaded in the flash storage, which makes it possible to dispense with an external HTTP server (see chapter User-defined pages via HTTP redirect).
