Configuring Public Spot access accounts

The Public Spot allows you to provide a strictly controlled point of access to your wireless LAN. Authentication is performed by requesting user information via a web interface. If necessary, you can can set a time limit for the access.

You should activate authentication for network access by name and password.
- LANconfig: Public Spot > Authentication > Authentication for network access
Activate user authentication for the controller's interface that is connected to the switch.
- LANconfig: Public Spot > Server > Operation settings > Interfaces
Restrict access to the Public Spot.
You restrict use of the Public Spot to data packets from this virtual LAN by entering the VLAN ID of "100" for the guest network into VLAN table. Other data packets from other VLANs will be forwarded to the Public Spot without a login. Note that access to WEBconfig via the Public Spot interface is restricted to the authentication pages only (see Limit configuration access).

Note: If the interface is not restricted to the VLAN ID, the controller will no longer be reachable at the specified physical Ethernet port!
- LANconfig: Public Spot > Server > VLAN table
Enable the option to clean up the user table so that your device automatically deletes entries that are no longer needed.
- LANconfig: RADIUS > Server > User table > Auto cleanup user table
