Hotspot Software : Creation and modification of a
Location
We can define a location as an
area in which the wireless signal of a RADIUS Hotspot
is broadcast.
The modification and creation of a new location can be carried out by the
'RADIUS
Hotspot' section in the 'Preferences' function.
Let's look in detail at the meaning of the various entries in this page:
-
WAN Port: contains the setup of the wireless router's WAN Port. In particular it
is possible to indicate if the router is connected to the local network and the
set
up of the IP address. The latter, in the case of a local network, is to be set
up
to an address contained in the subnet of the ADSL Router. (for example
192.168.0.100
if the ADSL router has the address 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.35 if the IP of the
ADSL router is 192.168.1.1). If the location is remote, or rather connected to a
different ADSL router than that connected to the server, the IP address must
contain
the public IP of the remote ADSL router (e.g., 78.56.34.45)
-
Hotspot interface
:allows you to choose whether to use the default hotspot interface or
manually specify one (eg eth0, eth1, br0, etc..).
-
Separate WI-FI from LAN
: enabling this, hotspot access is allowed only via WI-FI. Otherwise you can
also connect to the LAN ports, a situation which is useful when you want to
connect access points to the LAN ports of the router in order to expand the
area covered by the signal.
By using the 'SEND SSH' button it is possible to transmit to the router the
configuration
script based on the data inserted in this window. For successful transmission it
is important that the SSH access on the WAN Port is enabled in the router. The
configuration
script can also be visualised via the 'Visualise' button, or online at
