3 Key in the locations of the header and footers.
4 In the Message field, key in the message that will appear above the login field to greet the user. For
example, this could explain why this Captive Portal page is appearing, and what the user should do.
5 If use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) as the gateway address, key in the appropriate name
in the Replace Gateway IP with FQDN field.
6 Key in the Default Redirection URL.
7 Click on the appropriate checkboxes to include the following VSA Attributes in the message to the
authentication server: AP Serial number, AP Name, WM-AD Name, SSID, MAC Address. Check
whether these apply to the header or footer of the Captive Portal page.
These choices influence what URL is returned in either area. For example, wireless users can be
identified by which Altitude AP or which WM-AD they are associated with, and can be presented
with a Captive Portal web page that is customized for those identifiers.
Refer to a separate Technical Note for instructions on integrating the VSA information into Captive
Portal authentication display.

● Status check, for a button that displays a popup window with session statistics for users to
monitor their usage and time left in session.
9 To save this configuration, click on Save.
10 To see how the Captive Portal page you have designed will look (after saving the configuration),
click on the View Sample Portal Page button.

Captive Portal” on page 87).

Portal screen
