You have to have a way to authenticate the client. A radius database with MAC's that you setup is one, a PPPoE login is another, and the last is a Walled Garden Hotspot with user name and password. (that I can think of) I guess you can use WPA/WEP only to get them on but not sure you can do any data collection and ever know who they are for sure that way.

We are using all Alvarion VL equipment (5.x & 900) the problem is: We want Customer to plug in device and get a DHCP address, easy right. Okay hard part, without the use of Mac addresses how can we tell which customers are what and log this into a database. Is there a way to control this via the radio? We don't want to use PPPoE so that option is out, we currently provide Static IP numbers for everybody but would like to get away from this in certain (cheaper) markets. Come on guys, hit me with your best ideas on this one. Were at a wall. Thank You, Cameron -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
