   The Login screen prompts the user for a username and password to access the captive portal and proceed to either the Terms and Conditions page (if used) or the Welcome page.

   The Terms and Conditions page provides conditions that must be agreed to before captive portal access is permitted.

   The Welcome page asserts a user has logged in successfully and can access the captive portal.

   The Welcome Back page greets returning users.

   The Fail page asserts authentication attempt has failed, the user is not allowed to access the internet (using this captive portal) and must provide the correct login information again to access the internet.

   The No Service page asserts the captive portal service is temporarily unavailable for technical reasons. Once the services become available, the captive portal user is automatically connected back to the services available through the captive portal.

   Available sources include Internal, External and Advanced. If Internal is selected, provide the information for each of the screens. If Advanced is selected, follow the on-screen instructions to upload custom Web pages. If Externally hosted is selected, provide the URLs for each of the necessary pages in the fields below.

5. When setting the properties of the Registration screen, refer to the bottom portion of the screen to define email, country, gender, mobile, zip, street and name filters used as additional authentication criteria.

   Guest users are redirected to the registration portal on association to the captive portal SSID. Users are displayed an internal (or) externally hosted registration page where the guest user must complete the registration process if not previously registered.

   These fields are customizable to meet the needs of retailers providing guest access. The captive portal sends a message to the user (on the phone number or Email address provided at registration) containing an access code. The user inputs the access code and the captive portal verifies the code before returning the Welcome page and providing access. This allows a retailer to verify the phone number or Email address is correct and can be traced back to a specific individual.
