To complete the set up you will need to log in to your portal, and under the Venue Settings you will need to enter your UniFi Controller Public IP/Hostname and a valid Username/Password of an account you created on your local controller (not a UniFi cloud account).
We recommend not using your admin user, so set up a new one specifically for this. This allows our system to communicate with your controller to authenticate guest users and is a mandatory step.
Please create a new port forward or firewall rule with the following:
- Local/Internal IP: Your UniFi Controller Internal LAN IP (e.g. 192.168.0.1)
- Protocol: TCP
- Destination Port: 8443 (UniFi software controller) or 443 (UDM/UDW/UDR/CloudKey Gen2)
Please contact support if you need assistance with the port forward/firewall setup and we'll do our best to help.
The configuration is now complete.
