Adding Quick Guest HotSpot Users

The UTM-1 appliance provides a shortcut for quickly adding a guest HotSpot user. This is useful in situations where you want to grant temporary network access to guests, for example in an Internet café. The shortcut also enables printing the guest user's details in one click.

By default, the quick guest user has the following characteristics:

• Username in the format guest<number>, where <number> is a unique three-digit number.

  For example: guest123

• Randomly generated password
• Expires in 24 hours
• Administration Level: No Access
• Permissions: HotSpot Access only

For information on configuring Secure HotSpot, see Using Secure HotSpot. For information on changing the default expiration period, refer to the Embedded NGX CLI Reference Guide.
