Captive Portal Integration
To start the visitor self-provisioning process, new visitor registration is performed by redirecting the visitor to
the URL specified on the Hotspot Preferences page; for example: https://guest.example.com/hotspot_
plan.php. The Hotspot Sign-Up page opens to the first page of the wizard, Choose Plan.
The hotspot_plan.php page accepts two parameters:
l The source parameter is the IP address of the customer.
l The destination parameter is the original URL the customer was attempting to access (that is, the
customer’s home page). This is used to automatically redirect the customer on successful completion of the
sign-up process.
For browsers without JavaScript, you may use the <noscript> tag to allow customers to sign up:
<noscript>
<a href="https://guest.example.com/ hotspot_plan.php">Hotspot Sign-Up</a>
</noscript>
However, in this situation the MAC address of the customer will not be available, and no automatic redirection
to the customer's home page will be made. You may want to recommend to your customers that JavaScript be
enabled for best results.
Managing Hotspot Plans
Your Hotspot plans determine how a customer is to pay for Internet access when connected through Dell
Networking W-ClearPass Guest. You also have the option to allow free access.
To view the list of hotspot plans your visitors can select and to access plan management, go to Configuration
> Hotspot Manager > Start Here and click the Manage Hotspot Plans link.
