Configuring Facebook Login
SCALANCE W supports the Facebook Wi-Fi feature that allows the captive portal clients
using a Facebook account to authenticate on an AP. You can configure a guest network to
use a customized Facebook page as an external captive portal URL and allow the AP to
redirect clients to a Facebook page when it receives an HTTP request. The users can select
the appropriate option to authenticate and access the Internet. By configuring the Facebook
login feature, businesses can pair their network with the Facebook Wi-Fi service, so that the
users logging into Wi-Fi hotspots are presented with a business page, before gaining access
to the network.
The Facebook Wi-Fi integration with the AP includes the following procedures:
● Setting up a Facebook Page (Page 184)
● Configuring an SSID (Page 184)
● Configuring the Facebook Portal Page (Page 185)
● Accessing the Portal Page (Page 186)
