Enable the hotspot using the default configuration
The TransPort device's hotspot is configured by default for click-through authentication using LAN2
as the hotspot's LAN, with the hotspot's IP address set to 10.1.0.1 with a subnet mast of
255.255.255.0. You can use the default click-through authentication by simply enabling the hotspot,
adding interfaces to the LAN, and configuring the hotspot's Wi-Fi interface.
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 to 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. If
LAN2 is already being used by your TransPort device, you should configure the hotspot to use a
different LAN by using one of the other hotspot configuration procedures in subsequent sections.
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.
After enabling the default hotspot configuration, you will want to modify the sample local HTML page
that the TransPort device uses by default for click-through authentication. See Edit sample hotspot
html pages for instructions about how to modify the sample local HTML page.
