Zyxel UAG4100 [13/60] Application scenario

ZyXEL – UAG Support Notes

Scenario 2 – Activate a Free Access Hotspot

2.1 Application Scenario

Some hotels need to provide free Internet services to hundreds of guests on a daily

basis, and managing the Internet access for so many people can be very complicated

without the right equipment. With web authentication such as user agreement and

web portal, hotel guests are redirected to the web-based authentication portal upon

the first attempt to access the network. In some countries, the law requires the

identification and tracking of users who use public Internet access. The UAG4100 can

authenticate people by forcing them to receive an authentication code via SMS on

their phone. In this way, the UAG4100 can authorize user Internet access via their

mobile phone number and keep track of the device in case of illegal activities via the

hotspot. Guests can get free access to the Internet in a matter of seconds simply by

entering all required personal contact information and agreeing to the policy of user

agreement. Without a guest account, to browse the Internet free of charge for a

specified period of time, the user must entering his or her mobile phone number to

receive the guest account information by SMS.
