Configuring Hotspot Account Generation
BSC provides a hotspot account generation feature that enables you to link a credit card
processing provider to a BlueSecure Controller, enabling your wireless end users to
purchase and set up their own wireless network access accounts using a credit card. You
can configure hotspot account generation for each custom login page. These end user
hotspot accounts can be set up to provide hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly wireless
access, or to provide unlimited access for a specified duration. Also, you can link each
access rate plan to a Role to allow you to control what/when/where/and how fast the
end user can connect to sites.
