Guest Access Social Media Statistics

Device registration using social media login credentials requires user validation through the guest user's social media account. The guest user authenticates with an administrator configured social media server like Facebook or Google. Upon successful authentication, the guest user's social media profile data (collected from the social media server) is registered on the device.

To view guest access social media utilization for guest clients:

  1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
  2. Select Guest Access above the navigation pane (on the upper left-hand side of the screen, directly to the right of System).
    The Guest Access statistics menu is displayed in the right-hand pane, with the Statistics screen selected by default.
  3. Select Social from the statistics menu.
    The Guest Access > Social page displays.
  4. Refer to the top of the screen to configure how the following trending periods and user filters are set for guest access social media trending:
    Timeline Use the drop-down menu to specify whether statistics are gathered for 1-Day, 1-Month, 1-Week, 2-Hours, 30-Mins or 5-Hours. Timelines support the latest time period from present. For example, specifying 30-Mins displays statistics for the most recent 30 minutes trended.
    RFDomain Use the drop-down menu to select a single RF Domain from which to filter social media guest access statistics. Optionally select All to include data from each RF Domain supported.
    WLAN Use the drop down menu to filter guest access social media statistics to a specific WLAN. A single WLAN can belong to more then one RF Domain.

    The data displays in bar graph format, with the total number of social media authenticating clients listed in green, and those currently online displayed in orange for both Google and Facebook authenticating clients. Refer to the Local graph to assess those clients requiring captive portal authentication as a fallback mechanism for guest registration through social media authentication.

  5. Periodically select Refresh to update the statistics counters to their latest values.
