Local Users
The Local Users section is used to create and manage users that can connect to the Hotspot. The elements comprising the Local Users page are explained in the list and figure below.
- Entering a Username, Password and clicking the 'Add' button creates a new user.
- The 'Group' dropdown menu assigns a user to another group.
- The 'Edit' button lets you change a user's password or assign the user to another group.
- The 'Delete[X]' button deletes a user.
Landing Page
This section is used to define how your Hotspot's Landing Page will look like to connecting users.
Note: since Hotspot supports unauthenticated users, they will be using different IPs. Basically IP will incremented based on the prefix provided. So for example if Hotspot network is 192.168.2.0/24 third octet will be incremented. So for IP 192.168.2.254 would increment to 192.168.3.254. If the network is 172.16.0.0/16 it will increment second octet. So for IP 172.16.255.254 it would increment to 172.17.255.254 and so on. After successful authentication, Hotspot will be using network that is set in Hotspot settings > General settings.
