Wireless Hotspot/Hotel Registration

Wireless hotspot is a wireless broadband Internet access service available at public locations such as airport lounges, coffee shops, and hotels.

The user launches a web browser and attempts to connect to the Internet. The browser is automatically redirected by the hotspot server to the Hotspot welcome page for registration. In the registration process, the user enters the required information. When registered, the user gains access to the Internet.

This feature supports users with restrictive outbound policies or with Hub Mode (everything goes through the Security Gateway), or both. Therefore, even if users connect to a gateway for all Internet communication, they can still access the hotspot to register.

A proxy might be required.
