Login Codes
If you want to control user's access to the internet all Guest Internet hotspot gateways allow guests to log in to the Internet using a pre-generated access code. You can determine duration, data and speed for each code upon creation, when the time expires the code cannot be reused.
Setting limits to a code
Code Type
There are 4 types of access code:
• Random: The unit will automatically generate a unique 6 character code.
• Custom: You can create your code (the length limit is 10 characters).
• Description (pro units only): You can write a description for a randomly generated code.
• MAC Address (pro units only): You can manually enter a device's MAC address. This device will then automatically be allowed on the Internet once connected.

Codes Usage
You can delete a code that is not in use any more or manage the codes being used (check the limits a user still have available, how many codes as in use...).
