RF Domain Statistics
A captive portal is guest access policy for providing guests temporary and restrictive access to the controller or service platform
managed wireless network. Captive portal authentication is used primarily for guest or visitor access to the network, but is
increasingly being used to provide authenticated access to private network resources when 802.1X EAP is not a viable option.
Captive portal authentication does not provide end-user data encryption, but it can be used with static WEP, WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK encryption.

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select a RF Domain from under the System node on the top, left-hand side, of the screen.
