All created Billing Profiles (described in Section 2.6.5) are available for display on the
Front Desk user's admin page. From this page, create a new temporary user ID and
associate a pre-defined Billing Profile to this user. The Front Desk user will b able to
leverage the features like batch user generation, customized account names, or
modifying usage limits for these temporary CP users if the admin has enabled the
Billing Profile with this support.
Section 2.6.2 outlines how to associate an SSID for Captive Portal authentication. For
users given access by the Front Desk, the Captive Portal Type needs to be a temporary
user. This will allow for the usage limits to have control on the amount or duration of
internet access.
The last step to leverage this feature is to create a Front Desk group and assign a user
to this group (i.e. username = HotelAdmin). The Front Desk user (HotelAdmin) will be
allowed to access the appliance's management interface via the following URL:
<Controller_LAN_IP>/frontdesk. With the defined login credentials the Front Desk
user can now create and customize temporary accounts for internet access through the
selected Billing Profile.

of 192.168.10.1/frontdesk" in their browser's URL will redirect to
http://192.168.10.1/platform.cgi?page=billingDeskLogin.htm
