Summary:

• In this article, we will look into the steps involved in setting up Self Registration Guest Pass Generation in Smart Zone controller running in 6.1 version

Note: This feature is available  since 6.1 version onwards

Network Environment:  

• SmartZone/Virtual SmartZone [Essentials/High-Scale] (Controller), version 6.1.0.x.x
• R710 (Access Point)

Setup Procedure:

• To create SMTP server in the vSZ/SZ GUI, navigate to ‘System->External Services->SMTP’ and turn on the “Enable SMTP Server” toggle, fill the SMTP server details. In my example, I am using gmail server

• Do the test, once it is successful, click on “OK”

• Once the SMTP server has configured, create a “Guest Access Portal”, navigate to “Services & Profiles”-> “Hotspots & Portal” -> “Guess Access” then select the “Create”

• Name the WLAN, in my setup I named it as ‘Test, Authentication Type as "Guest Access" and Method as "Open"

• Encryption Options is selected as ‘None' (but it can change based on requirement). 

• Under Guest Access Portal, select ‘Guest
• In 'Guest Portal Service’, select the Guest Access Portal profile which we have created from the drop down then click on “OK”

• All other settings including VLAN assignment for end-user devices are set to the default values in my set up

I was wondering the same. We have the guest portal set up and it works well for the most part yet the phone number field seems to throw people off since it has to be entered in a +15551234567 format and doesn't provide clear instructions. We've since created flyers to assist guests with the process but most simply attempt to connect without them and run into the field entry error at the phone number box. I would like the ability to edit the format or set the phone number as optional but haven't found a way to make this happen yet. Hoping someone here might be able to provide a fix.

Hi Jcason,

I want to sincerely apologize for the extra effort you had to make to get things working.

The page (As below) cannot be modified, and the phone number should be in the format "country code followed by the phone number(no space between country code and phone number)
