14.3 Using The Guest Network As A Client
Once the guest network is configured, a client can access the guest network as follows:
1. A guest client enters an area of coverage and scans for wireless networks.
2. The guest network advertises itself via a Guest SSID or some similar
name, depending on how the guest SSID is specified in the Administra-
tion Web pages for the Guest interface.
3. The guest client chooses Guest SSID.
4. The guest client starts a Web browser and receives a Guest
Welcome screen.
5. The Guest Welcome Screen provides a button for the client to click
to continue.
6. The guest client is now enabled to use the “guest” network.
