DWC-1000 Wireless Controller User’s Guide

Logging In to a Captive Portal

The wireless controller lets you create a captive portal, which allows you to control which

web page is viewed when users first log onto a WLAN. Captive portals are used to control

Wi-Fi access at locations where users are ―captive,‖ such as hotels, apartments, business

centers, coffee houses, and restaurants.

A captive portal turns a user’s web browser into an authentication device by intercepting all

packets, regardless of address or port, when the user opens a browser and tries to access

the Internet. At that time, the browser is redirected to a web page that might require

authentication, payment, or user agreement to a use policy.

Figure 2-7 shows an example of a captive portal configuration with a wireless controller,

access points, PoE switch, and RADIUS authentication server.

In this configuration, you:

 Create a group configured for captive portal users.

 Add the captive portal users to the group and assign a password and idle timeout value to

it.

 Select an interface for the captive portal.

 Test your settings and make any necessary adjustments.
