EAP Controller User Guide Chapter 6 Application Example Chapter 6 Application Example 6.1 Map Monitor The distinctive function of the EAP Controller is monitoring the running situation of all the EAPs and vividly presenting it on the map. The following is a simple but typical example. In a small enterprise, the network administrator deploys four EAP devices according to the preceding part of the UG. On the top of the interface apparently displays two devices being disconnected. And we can see that EAP1 and EAP2 are disconnected on the map. In this case, the network administrator can quickly locate them and find out the causes with the help of the log feature. 6.2 Portal Authentication The portal authentication, also known as web authentication, is an effective way to manage the large wireless network in the places such as hotel, community, company or some other public places. The administrator can provide each user with an individual account. Furthermore, the web portal can be used to announce ads, notices and some other personalized information. The following is a supposed example that the portal authentication is used on a supermarket network. Supermarket A has a large EAP wireless network. The network administrator wants to drive customers' attention to the promotion information of Supermarket A. So he decides to employ the portal authentication. Here are the network parameters of Supermarket A: SSID Name: TP-LINK_Supermarket A, 54
