10. HotSpot Wizard
The MicroRed OS HotSpot Access Gateway enables Telco’s, operators, wireless ISPs,
enterprises, government institutions, or school campuses to deploy WLANs with secured
user authentication support. Based on both RADIUS (Remote Authentication User Dial-In
Service) and Web Redirection technology, when an unauthenticated wireless user is
trying to access a Web page, a logon page is shown instead of the requested page, so
that the user can type his/her user name and password for authentication. Then, the
user credential information is sent to a back-end RADIUS server to see if the user is
allowed to access the Internet. This web-redirection also supports Web page
customization, allowing operators or HotSpots to easily designate a Web page /
Advertisement URL before / after user login, not to mention Web-redirection bypass for
paid users and/or those frequently using HotSpot services, where authentication can be
performed using their MAC address.
