Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise and WiFi Hotspot
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniAccess Stellar provides wireless infrastructure for hotels, offices, campuses, public venues and other business environments.
WiFi Hotspot integrates with supported OmniAccess Stellar deployments to provide Guest WiFi authentication, Splash Pages, Internet Plans, users and session management.
OmniAccess Stellar manages the wireless network and access points, while WiFi Hotspot manages Guest WiFi access and customer authentication.
The WiFi Hotspot integration uses an External Captive Portal with RADIUS authentication and accounting, together with the required Walled Garden and access rules.

Why Use OmniAccess Stellar With WiFi Hotspot?
Guest WiFi
Captive Portal
Redirect guests from the wireless network to a branded WiFi Hotspot Splash Page before Internet access is granted.
Provide login options, visitor information and Internet Plans through a consistent Guest WiFi experience.
RADIUS Authentication & Accounting
Connect supported OmniAccess Stellar networks to WiFi Hotspot through RADIUS for Guest WiFi authentication and session accounting.
This keeps users and access management centralized while the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise infrastructure manages the wireless network.
Controlled Pre-Login Access
Configure Walled Garden entries and network access rules for services that guests need before completing authentication.
After successful login, WiFi Hotspot manages the authenticated Guest WiFi session and assigned Internet access. The current configuration guide explicitly includes Walled Garden and ACL settings.
Alcatel Configuration
Configure the OmniAccess Stellar WLAN to use WiFi Hotspot as the External Captive Portal and connect it to the required RADIUS authentication and accounting services.
The setup also includes Walled Garden entries and access rules required for the Guest WiFi login process.
The current WiFi Hotspot configuration guide was tested with OmniAccess Stellar AP1201, so compatibility should be confirmed for the specific Stellar model and software version used in a new deployment.
