Guest Services
The Enable Wireless Guest Services option allows the following guest services to be applied
to a zone:
Feature Description
Enable inter-guest
communication
Allows guests connecting to SonicPoints in this Wireless Zone to
communicate directly and wirelessly with each other.
Bypass AV Check for
Guests
Allows guest traffic to bypass Anti-Virus protection
Enable Dynamic Address
Translation (DAT)
Dynamic Address Translation (DAT) allows the zone to support
any IP addressing scheme for WGS users.
If this option is disabled (un-checked), wireless guest users must
either have DHCP enabled, or an IP addressing scheme
compatible with the SonicPoint’s network settings.
Enable External Guest
Authentication
Requires guests connecting from the device or network you
select to authenticate before gaining access. This feature, based
on Lightweight Hotspot Messaging (LHM) is used for
authenticating Hotspot users and providing them parametrically
bound network access.
Custom Authentication
Page
Redirects users to a custom authentication page when they first
connect to the Wireless Zone. Click Configure to set up the
custom authentication page. Enter either a URL to an
authentication page or a custom challenge statement in the text
field, and click OK.
Post Authentication Page Directs users to the page you specify immediately after
successful authentication. Enter a URL for the post-
authentication page in the filed.
Bypass Guest
Authentication
Allows WGS to integrate into environments already using some
form of user-level authentication. This feature automates the
WGS authentication process, allowing wireless users to reach
WGS resources without requiring authentication. This feature
should only be used when unrestricted WGS access is desired,
or when another upstream device is enforcing authentication.
