Description:
This article describes how to configure a cloud-managed Hotspot with an external Captive Portal in the LMC (e.g. the Frederix Hotspot).
Requirements:
- LCOS as of version 10.42 or LCOS LX as of version 5.30 (download latest version)
- Access to the LANCOM Management Cloud (chargeable)
- Any web browser
Procedure:
1) In the LMC go to the menu Networks and click on Add Network → Hotspot Network.
2) Modify the following parameters:
- Captive Portal: Select the option External.
- Network Name: Enter a descriptive name for the Hotspot SSID (in this example Guest).
3) Expand the section Authentication and enter the URL of the external Captive Portal for the Landing-Page-URL.
The variable %m must be used in the URL.
4) Under RADIUS servers click on Add.
5) Modfify the following parameters and click Apply:
- IP address: Enter the public IP address of the RADIUS server which authenticates users for the external Captive Portal (in this example 81.81.81.100).
- Port: If necessary, modify the Port, which is used for the communication with the RADIUS server. With default settings the port 1812 is used.
- Key: Enter the key, which the LMC uses for authentication with the RADIUS server.
6) Lastly click on Save.
7) Proceed as described in the following Knowledge Base articles (depending on your scenario) for further configuration (assigning the network to the site, rolling out the configuration among other things).
- Configuring a cloud-managed hotspot in the LANCOM Management Cloud (only with LANCOM access points)
- Configuring a cloud-managed hotspot in the LANCOM Management Cloud (gateway router not managed by the LMC)
- Configuring a cloud-managed hotspot in the LANCOM Management Cloud (all components LMC-managed)
