Chapter 2 Setting Up BBSM Hotspot
Understanding the BBSM Hotspot Dashboard
The Hotspot Configuration web page options are described in Table 2-6.
Operations
The following are the options available under the Operations section of the Dashboard:
• Reports—Use this tool to view and print reports about the BBSM Hotspot server.
• Access Code Management—Use this tool to generate, edit, and delete access codes for connecting
to the Internet.
• Client Deactivation—Use this option to remotely terminate active client sessions.
• Updates—Use this option to install maintenance releases (service packs) and patches.
Using Navigation Buttons
BBSM Hotspot web pages use navigation buttons to help you locate information. Use the navigation
buttons to locate the correct record before making changes. (See Table 2-7.)
When no records exist for that function, the button is disabled. For example, the First and Previous
buttons are grayed out when you are viewing the first record.
