This option provides a link to the default Subscription page (subscribe.asp), where users can
choose one of the subscription plans defined on the Controller >> Users > Subscription plans page.
Existing users must enter their username and password to update their current account. New users
enter a username and password to create a new account.
Pre-requisites
To use this feature, the following items must be pre-configured:
• One or more subscription plans must be defined by selecting Controller >> Users > Subscription
plans.
• To support credit card payments, the credit card payment service must be enabled and
configured by selecting Controller >> Public access > Payment services.
Display the Free Access option
When enabled, the Free Access option is displayed on the default Login page (index.asp). This
enables users to login to the public access interface without paying.
A user account is automatically created for each user that selects the Free Access option. Each
account has the following properties:
• The account name and password are set to the MAC address of the users device.
• The account is valid for up to 30 minutes from the time it is created. To change this time use
the Free accounts are valid for nn minutes option. When a Free Access account expires, the
user is blocked from using another free account until the free access lock out time expires.
• Account settings are imported from the Default AC profile. See “About the Default AC profile”
(page 351).
Free accounts are valid for nn minutes
Specify how many minutes a free account is valid, starting from the time the user logs in with the
Free Access option.
Free access lock out time nn hours
Specify how many hours a user is blocked from using the free account option after their initial free
account expires. When a user creates a free account, the controller records the MAC address of
the client station from which the user logged in. This MAC address is then blocked from reusing
the free access option for the specified number of hours. If you change the setting for this parameter
while a user is blocked, the user is unblocked after the original setting expires. Range: 1 to 720
hours.
