General options
Option Description
Enable Enables or disables the hotspot. The default is disabled.
LAN Specifies which LAN to run the hotspot on. You can select any LAN on your TransPort
device to serve as the hotspot LAN; however, 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. Therefore, you must make sure that you do not enable hotspot for the
LAN that you are using to access the device for other purposes, such as configuring
and monitoring the device, or providing clients with non-hotspot access to your
network.
The default is lan2.
Login Specifies whether the login page is a Local page or a Remote URL.
n Local Page—Uses an HTMLpage for authentication that is stored locally on
the TransPort device's filesystem, in the hotspot directory. Note that the
hotspot directory is not visible until hotspot has been enabled for the first
time.
n Remote URL—Uses an HTML page for authentication that is stored
remotely.
Default is Local page.

uses a filename other than the default filename, you should select the
custom filename here.
n Remote URL—Enter the URL of the server that hosts the HTML
authentication page. The URL must begin with http:// or https://. The server
listed here must also be included in the Allowed Domains or Allowed
Subnets.

assigned to clients. This IPv4 address must not exist within a current subnet.
Specify the IPv4 address. The default is 10.1.0.1.
