Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Management Interfaces
4. In the User Group drop-down menu, select the name of a guest group policy.
The group policy determines the days of the week and times of day at
which the user is allowed to access the network. The group policy can
also dictate a dynamic VLAN assignment. (However, dynamic assignment
must be enabled on the WLAN to which the guest connects for this setting
to take effect.)
The WebUser Administrator cannot create groups. Before the WebUser
Administrator creates guest user accounts, someone must log into the
Wireless Edge Services xl Module with SuperUser or Network Adminis-
trator rights and create at least one guest group.
5. Guest accounts are temporary. Specify the period of validity in the Access
Period section:
a. In the Start Date & Time field, choose when the account becomes
active.
Enter the date in this format, in which MM is the number of the month,
DD is the date, and YYYY is the year:
MM/DD/YYYY
After the date, enter a hyphen (-) and the time in this format, in which
HH is the hour in the 24-hour clock and MM is the minutes:
HH:MM
For example, enter:
02/17/2007-08:00
By default, the account’s start date and time is the current time.
b. Specify the date and time at which the account expires (that is, the
user can no longer connect) in one of two ways:
– Enter an exact date and time in the Expiry Date & Time field.
Use the same format as for the Start Date and Time field. Of course,
the expiry time must be later than the start time.
– Specify how long the account remains active from the Access
Periods drop-down menu.
You can choose a length from one to six days. You can also choose
one to three weeks or one to three months.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module OS automatically sets the
expiry date and time based on start date and time and the speci-
fied period of validity.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module automatically clears out
expired accounts every 24 hours. In the meantime, however, no one
can use the expired account to connect.
