Configure the hotspot to use HotspotSystem
You can configure TransPort hotspot to use HotspotSystem, a cloud hotspot service that supports
various free and paid authentication methods, including social media account, SMS, voucher, and
PayPal.
By default, the router redirects unauthenticated users to the HTML authentication page located on
the router at /hotspot/login.html. You can customize the authentication page as needed, or host an
authentication page on a remote server. See Customize the hotspot login page for further
information.
Required configuration items
n Enable the hotspot with HotspotSystem authentication.
n Create and configure a HotspotSystem account.
n NASID for use with the HotspotSystem.
n LAN to serve as the hotspot LAN. See Hotspot LANconfiguration for important information
about selecting a LANfor the hotspot.
n IP Address and subnet mask for the hotspot.
n Interfaces for the hotspot LAN(Wifi and/or Ethernet).
Additional configuration items
n DHCP server lease timeout.
n Bandwidth limits.
n Modify the local HTML authentication page, /hotspot/login.html, or identify a remote web
server to host the HTML authentication page and include that server in the "white list" of
servers that unauthenticated hotspot clients can access.
Hotspot LANconfiguration
Once you have selected a LANfor a hotspot, you have limited configuration capabilities for that LAN.
Most of its configuration (for example, its IP address and DHCP server) is set automatically by the
hotspot, and the LANis dedicated for use only by the hotspot. For this reason, you should select a
LANfor the hotspot that has not already been configured for use outside of hotspot functionality.
WARNING! Once you configure a LANfor use as the hotspot LAN, you can no longer access
the device's web interface or SSHserver via that LAN. Do not enable hotspot for the LAN
that you are using to access the device for other purposes. See Selecting a LAN to be used
by the hotspot for more information.
Configure a HotspotSystem account
1. Sign up for an operator account. Go to HotspotSystem signup.
2. Add a new location for the hotspot. Take care when selecting the Business Model because
some options cannot be changed after you create the location. Go to Add a new location.
3. Click Modify Hotspot Data & Settings.
