Hotspot
Your TransPort device offers the ability to create a publicly available hotspot, which allows you to
provide internet access to users while restricting their ability to access other functionality on the
TransPort device, as well as applying bandwidth limits, authenticating users, and other features. The
TransPort device's implementation of hotspot uses a "captive portal" page, a web page that is
displayed to users when they first connect to the hotspot and requires users to perform some specific
action before they are granted access to the internet, such as accepting terms of use, logging in with
a shared password or a username/password combination, or using a payment service to purchase
web access via your hotspot.
Authentication of hotspot users can be performed by the device itself, by an external RADIUS server,
or by HotspotSystem (a cloud-based hotspot management and billing service). The device provides
sample html pages to be used for authentication, and you can modify these pages, add your own
pages, or host HTMLlogin pages on a remote web server.
Note Sample HTML pages provide by your TransPort device are located in the hotspot directory on
your device's filesystem. The hotspot directory is created when you enable hotspot for the first time,
and cannot be accessed prior to that.
