After the account is established, the user is allowed out of the walled garden. URLs will be
resolved to IP addresses. Users will not be able to click through to other URLs that may be
presented on a page if that page is hosted on a server with a different IP address. Avoid using
common URLs that are translated into many IP addresses (such as www.yahoo.com), as
users may be redirected to re-authenticate when they navigate through the page.
12. Click Create Newto create the hotspot portal of the zone template.
13. Continue to Step 5: Configure the Hotspot 2.0 Service of the Zone Template.
For additional steps that you need to perform to ensure that the WISPr hotspot portal works,
see Creating and Managing Hotspots on page 267.
Step 5: Configure the Hotspot 2.0 Service of the Zone Template
To configure a Hotspot 2.0 service, you will need to create and configure at least one service
provider profile and one operator profile.
Refer to the Hotspot 2.0 Reference Guide for this release for more information.
Step 6: Configure the WLAN Service of the Zone Template
Creating a zone template requires that you create the template and configure the services that
will be deployed with the template.
Follow these steps to create and configure a WLAN service of an AP zone
1. Click Configuration > AP Zones.
2. On the sidebar, click Zone Templates.
The Zone Templates page appears.
3. Click the name of the zone template for which you want to create a WLAN service.
The Zone Configuration page appears.
4. On the sidebar, click WLAN.
5. Under the WLAN Configuration section, click Create New.
The form for creating a new WLAN service appears.
6. In the General Options section, configure the following options.
• Name/SSID: Type a short name (two to 32 alphanumeric characters) for this WLAN. In
general, the WLAN name is the same as the advertised SSID (the name of the wireless
network as displayed in the client’s wireless configuration program). However, you can
also separate the SSID from the WLAN name by entering a name for the WLAN in the first
field, and a broadcast SSID in the second field. In this way, you can advertise the same
SSID in multiple locations (controlled by the same controller) while still being able to manage
the different WLANs independently.
• HESSID (optional): Type the homogenous extended service set identifier (SSID). The
HESSID is a 6-octet MAC address that identifies the homogeneous ESS. The HESSID
value must be identical to one of the BSSIDs in the homogeneous ESS.
• Description: Type a brief description of the qualifications/purpose for this WLAN (for
example, Engineering or Voice).
