The hotspot Online Signup tab displays
hotspot properties for Online Signup (OSU) users. Online Signup allows users who are not
part of the provider network to manually connect to the hotspot. It also allows for
added security for users who want to connect anonymously. To configure Online Signup,
you must configure a separate WLAN for OSU with Open Authentication or WPA2-Enterprise
(802.1x/EAP). Encryption is specific to the service provider. Credentials in the mobile
device SIM Card authenticate the user.

on the Online
Signup tab:
Go to Configure > Network > WLAN
Settings.
From the Hotspot field,
select OSU.
From the Auth Type field,
select Open or WPA2-Enterprise
(802.1x/EAP).
