Hotspot and RADIUS Servers Setup

We recommend to use this set of RADIUS servers:
 


 List of RADIUS according to your location:
 For North America

RADIUS Server 1

rad-1-use-1.socifi.com or IP address: 52.7.148.174, Radius shared secret: socifi

RADIUS Server 2

rad-2-use-1.socifi.com or IP address: 52.55.217.23, Radius shared secret: socifi

 For Europe and Africa

RADIUS Server 1

rad-1-euw-1.socifi.com or IP address: 52.209.184.212, Radius shared secret: socifi

RADIUS Server 2

rad-2-euw-1.socifi.com or IP address: 52.50.155.202, Radius shared secret: socifi

 For Asia-Pacific

RADIUS Server 1

RADIUS Server 2

rad-2-euw-1.socifi.com or IP address: 52.50.155.202, Radius shared secret: socifi

In order to have the Radius communication working fine, the IP addresses (above) and the ports 1812 Auth and 1813 Acc must be accessible.

Set up of hotspots, RADIUS servers and captive portal all together in menu NETWORK / Hotspot Settings. Check Enable Hotspot Service ON, configure NETWORK SETTINGS section and RADIUS SETTINGS section as follows.

Captive Portal and Walled Garden Setup

If you are customer with White Label solution, please add your custom domain (for example mycustomdomain.com) to the Walled Garden list.

 Want to Allow Google+ login ?

The new Allow login through social networks does not include the Google login. The reason is that some Android based devices are not redirected to the Captive Portal when the user gets connected to WiFi network. In case you'd like to add it you need to do following:

  1. Check if your hotspot allows DNS names in the Walled garden. Some hotspots can use IP addresses only. See: Why DNS-based Walled Garden (and not IP-based)
  2. Allow Google+ login: Settings > Brand > Authentication > Allow login through social networks > Set on Allow Google login
  3. Add these walled garden domain into existing list:

Google+ Login DNS's

Please adopt same format your Walled garden is already using e.g. with or without the asterisk, separated by comma or space etc.
