Hotspot setup guide
Antamedia HotSpot is Windows PC gateway software which helps you in controlling and billing your
customers for the Internet usage. Antamedia HotSpot does not require any Client software installations.
It uses captive portal technology to show login page in customer browser. Upon connecting to your
network (using wireless cards or UTP cable), customer will be prompted to enter valid username and
password to get Internet access. After successful login, your customer will see the remaining time and
bandwidth quota, expiration date and other relevant info. HotSpot keeps track of customer account and
shows warning message when the account is due to expire, helping a customer to refill the account and
continue using your service without interruption.
Software includes billing, statistics and reporting with many useful features. It is hardware independent
and you can use any type of access points, routers, switches and other equipment to control your WiFi,
WiMax, LAN, Cable, DSL, Satellite and other type of network connections.
