Custom visitor timeout |
Determines how long they can use your WiFi service. |
|
|
Session timeout |
Determines the length of time a visitor can log in for when they connect. After this time the visitor is disconnected and must reconnect and log in again to continue using the service. If the visitor is idle (stops transferring data) the Idle timeout determines when to disconnect the visitor. |
|
|
Idle timeout |
Determines the length of time a visitor can be idle (stops transferring data) before they are disconnected. For example, if this is set to 60 minutes and a user turns off their device or leaves the WiFi network it would take 60 minutes for the session to expire whereby the visitor must reconnect and log in again. |
|
|
MAC authentication |
Authenticates repeat WiFi visitors as soon as they connect to the wireless SSID (based on the device MAC address). This means visitors bypass the splash page authentication and get straight online. MAC randomization may prevent MAC authentication. |
|
|
Enable whitelist only |
Only allows devices on the whitelist to use MAC authentication and bypass the splash page authentication. |
|
|
MAC authentication timeout |
Set a period of time when the MAC authentication expires and the visitor must sign in to the WiFi to gain access. You can choose No timeout to always allow repeat visitors to get straight online. |
|
|
Whitelist or Blacklist a device MAC |
Enter the MAC address for any device you want to add to the whitelist or blacklist. If you whitelist a device it bypasses the splash page authentication. If you blacklist a device it stops the device being able to authenticate and connect to your WiFi. You can also set a timeout period for whitelist and blacklist devices. |

Email verification
Enables email verification across all venues. Visitors who authenticate via the registration form are sent an email to verify their email address on their first visit only. If visitors do not verify their email address they cannot use seamless login.
You can remove visitors from the WiFi and force them to re-authenticate if they haven’t verified their email address within a configurable amount of time. This is triggered by a RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) request, sent to the Access Point/Controller from Purple’s cloud hosted RADIUS server (this may require an inbound firewall rule for UDP port 3799). Most hardware supports CoA requests, for more information about how to configure this for your hardware, refer to CoA/Disconnect Configuration.
You can see which visitors have verified their email address within Marketing > CRM, click the visitor name, next to the name it shows if the visitor is verified or unverified.
