100 AT-TQ2403 - Management Software - User's Guide
Chapter 13: Setting up Guest Access
Out-of-the-box Guest Interface features allow you to configure the AT-TQ2403 Management Software
for controlled guest access to an isolated network. You can configure the same access point to
broadcast and function as two different wireless networks: a secure "Internal" LAN and a public "Guest"
network.
Guest clients can access the guest network without a username or password. When guests log in, they
see a guest Welcome screen (also known as a captive portal).
The following sections are included here:

Deployment Example
Understanding the Guest Interface
You can define unique parameters for guest connectivity and isolate guest clients from other more
sensitive areas of the network. No security is provided on the guest network; only plain-text security
mode is allowed.
Simultaneously, you can configure a secure internal network (using the same access point as your guest
interface) that provides full access to protected information behind a firewall and requires secure login
or certificates for access.
You can configure an AT-TQ2403 Management Software for the Guest interface in below way:
Configure the access point using a single network with VLANs by setting up the guest interface
configuration options on the Administration Web pages for the AT-TQ2403 Management Software.
(For details on how to set up this type of guest interface, see “Configuring a Guest Network on a
Virtual LAN”.)
Note:
The above method leverages multiple BSSID and Virtual LAN (VLAN) technologies
that are built-in to the AT-TQ2403 Management Software. The Internal and Guest
networks are implemented as multiple BSSIDs on the same access point, each with
different network names (SSIDs) on the Wireless interface and different VLAN IDs
on the Wired interface.
The Guest Management and Login settings apply to both Radio One and Radio Two.
