Description:
This document describes how to set up your Public Spot so that users who have booked for a certain period receive a limited time budget each day.
Scenario:
- A user account is set up for each Public Spot user, and this expires after a certain validity period or term, e.g. 365 days.
- A Public Spot user can login to the Public Spot several times per day (e.g. for Internet access), although the access time is limited to no more than 2 hours per day.
- If a Public Spot user reaches the daily maximum time budget of 2 hours, the user's access to the Public Spot is blocked for the rest of the day.
- The next day, the Public Spot user again has a maximum time budget of 2 hours.
Requirements:
- A functional fully configured Public Spot scenario.
Note:
The configuration of a simple Public Spot scenario with the LANCOM Setup Wizard is described in the following Knowledge Base article
 .
Procedure:
1) Using WebConfig , go to the menu Setup wizards -> Create Public Spot account or modify existing user accounts to incorporate the following parameters:
- In this example, the validity period for each Public Spot voucher is 365 days.
- The daily time budget is 120 minutes . Access is blocked if the daily budget is exhausted.
2) Open the configuration for the LANCOM and switch to the menu item Date & time -> CRON table.
3) Create a new CRON entry with the following parameters:
- In this example the time budget should be reset each day at midnight. Enter 0 into the fields for Minutes and Hours.
- Enter the following into the Commands field:
do /status/TCP-IP/RADIUS-Server/Accounting/Delete-Accounting-Total *
This command deletes the time budgets recorded to the RADIUS accounting table.
4) Write the configuration back to the LANCOM. |
