User Database
In DellW-Instant, the user database consists of a list of guest and employee users. Addition of a
user involves specifying a username and password for the user. The login credentials for these users
are provided outside the DellW-Instant system.
A guest user can be a visitor who is temporarily using the enterprise network to access the Internet.
However, you may not want to share the internal network and the intranet with them. To
segregate the guest traffic from the enterprise traffic, you can create a Guest WLAN, specify the
required authentication, encryption, and access rules and allow the guest user to use the enterprise
network.
An employee user is the employee who is using the enterprise network for various official tasks.
You can create Employee WLANs, specify the required authentication, encryption and access rules
and allow the employees to use the enterprise network.
NOTE: The User Database is also used when Instant is employed as an internal RADIUS
server.
