274 Configuring the Wireless Array

12. WPR (Web Page Redirect): (Optional) Check this box if you wish to

enable the Web Page Redirect functionality. This will open a Web Page

Redirect details section in the window, where your WPR parameters may

be entered. This feature may be used to display a splash screen when a

user first associates to the wireless network. After that, it can (optionally)

redirect the user to an alternate URL. See “Web Page Redirect

Configuration Settings” on page 260 for details of WPR configuration.

Note that the Group Management window only allows you to set up an

Internal Splash page and a Landing Page URL. The authentication

options that are offered on the SSID Management page are not offered

here. Since the group membership of a user is provided to the Array by a

Radius server, this means the user has already been authenticated.

You may create a WPR Whitelist on a per-group basis if you wish. See

“Whitelist Configuration for Web Page Redirect” on page 264 for details

of WPR Whitelist usage and configuration.

Group Limits

The Limits section allows you to limit the traffic or connection times allowed for

this user group. Note that the IAPs — Global Settings window and the SSID

management windows also have options to limit the number of stations, limit

traffic, and/or limit connection times. If limits are set in more than one place, all

limits will be enforced:

As soon as any station limit is reached, no new stations can associate until

some other station has terminated its association.

As soon as any traffic limit is reached, it is enforced.

If any connection date/time restriction applies, it is enforced.

You can picture this as a logical AND of all restrictions. For example, suppose that

a station’s SSID is available MTWTF between 8:00am and 5:00pm, and the User

Group is available MWF between 6:00am and 8:00pm, then the station will be

allowed on MWF between 8:00am and 5:00pm.

To eliminate confusion, we recommend that you configure one set of limits or the

other, but not both.
