Purpose
This guide shows how to configure an Endian device for Cloud4Wi.
Please note that the images contained in this article may contain outdated configuration data. Therefore, please check the data contained in the article "Parameters for the Solution" at the bottom of the page, as they are certainly up to date.
Prerequisites
In order to correctly integrate an Endian access point with the Solution, you must:
- Connect device to the Internet
- WAN and LAN interfaces are correctly configured
It is recommended to update your device firmware to the last available version.
Accessing the access point
Please allow access to the device through the web interface.
Access point configuration
In order to set up the access point, it is necessary to access the Hotspot Settings section in the Hotspot top menu and select the Enable Hotspot option.
The image below is an example of the configuration. The updated values to set are listed in the Parameters for the Solution paragraph at the end of this article.
Please note that:
- The NAS ID value in the device must be unique for all the access points belonging to your network. This is the same value to put in the Cloud4Wi Dashboard, as Identifier value.
- The UAM Secret field must be left empty.
- The Allowed Sites / Access is a list where you must include the domain names to add to the walled garden. To complete this list, please check the following articles:
Allowing free access to the CDN
As explained in the article Enabling the CDN, it is necessary to add some IP addresses to the walled garden in order to support the access to the CDN.
The domains to add for this purpose are:
- c4wstatic.cloud4wi.com
- c4wstaticjs.cloud4wi.com
Entering the device details into the Cloud4Wi Dashboard
To integrate the access point with the Solution, you must enter its details into the Cloud4Wi Dashboard.
To get more information on how to do that, please see How to add an access point. Secondly, in the Cloud4Wi Dashboard, a field called Identifier will be required by the web interface. For Endian products, as said before, corresponds to the NAS ID value that has been configured in the Hotspot Settings section.
Please note that this value must be unique for all the devices entered in the Cloud4Wi Dashboard. Otherwise, the access point will be not correctly integrated with the Solution.
