sms

Configures guest user SMS notification settings. When configured, guest users can register themselves with their e-mail or mobile device ID as the primary key for authentication. The captive portal provides the pass code for registration. Guest users use their registered e-mail or mobile device ID and the received pass code for subsequent logins to the captive portal.

SMS is similar to MAC address-based self registration, but in addition the captive portal sends an SMS message, containing an access code, to the user‘s mobile phone number provided at the time of registration. The captive portal verifies the code, returns the Welcome page and provides access. This allows the administrator to verify the phone number provided and can be traced back to a specific individual should the need arise.

The default gateway used with SMS is Clickatell. A pass code can be sent with SMS to the guest user directly using Clickatell, or the pass code can be sent via e-mail to the SMS Clickatell gateway server, and Clickatell sends the pass code SMS to the guest user.

Supported in the following platforms:

• Service Platforms — NX 75XX, NX 95XX, NX 96XX, VX 9000
