Devices operating a Public Spot provide users with time-limited access to certain networks, typically the Internet. In many scenarios, a limited administrator account is used for the creation of these accounts: For example, a hotel employee at the front desk can use an account that only has the functional rights to create and manage Public Spot users. With a few mouse clicks the employee can print a voucher for the hotel guests granting them network access.
However, the convenient voucher solution still requires action from an administrator. Alternatively, you can give the users the option to generate their own login data for the wireless network, and send it to themselves by e-mail or SMS (login by "Smart Ticket").
Login via agreement
Alternatively, the device gives you the ability to handle the login for Public Spot users transparently using a RADIUS server. In this case, the user login is preceded by a request to consent to the agreement before the user automatically receives access to the Public Spot. The creation of credentials by the user via e-mail or SMS does not apply for this authentication method. Learn more about this in the section under Overview of authentication modes—the "Login via agreement" is not a part of the Smart Ticket function.
