Controlled Guest
Internet Access
Controlled Internet access requires the guest to type an access code into the login page
box. You will generate the access codes using the managed code feature. You can access
the managed code feature by logging in to the gateway product as the administrator;
http://aplogin.com/admin
The screen will request you type in a username (admin) and the password that you will
enter during the wizard setup process.
When you are logged in the select ‘manage codes’ shown in the menu on the left side of
the screen.
You can generate codes that are valid from 30 minutes to 180 days and also unlimited time
codes. You can generate single user or multi-user codes. Only one guest can use a single
user codes and the code cannot be passed from one guest to another. Many guests can
use multi-user codes simultaneously.
You decide who can access your Internet service by giving codes only to guests that you
authorize. You can also sell codes to guests and provide wireless Internet as a paid service.
Some examples are included here to illustrate how codes can be used
1. Restaurant: Prevent guests at the restaurant next door using your Internet service
by creating a one-day multi-user code that you can give to your guests when they
ask for Internet access. Create a different multi-user code each day.
2. Hotel: Free Internet for guests; generate a unique code to give to each guest for
the length of the stay. However if a visitor using the conference room wants to
use the Internet then charge for a code (e.g. $10/day).
3. Coffee bar: charge guests for Internet, each day download access codes and print
onto adhesive labels.
Use your Internet service as a tool to attract customers. For example, if your competitor is
charging for Internet then offer free Internet.
Take care how you offer Internet service for guests. For example a coffee bar that offers
free unlimited Internet might find that guests are occupying tables to use the Internet and
not buying coffee or food. This problem can be easily solved using Guest Internet gateway
products. Give 30-minute free codes at the checkout, and state that codes are given only
with a purchase. The guest will be blocked from the Internet after the 30-minute code
expires and the only way for the guest to continue using the Internet is to make a second
purchase.
