On Demand Wifi Scheduling

Scheduling Steps

  • Step 1: Select SSID 
  • Step 2: Set the schedule

Step 1: Select SSID

  • From your controller page, navigate to the drop down menu in the top right corner. Select the site you want to create a schedule for. Now, navigate to the settings page. Under WiFi, select the SSID or create a new SSID.

Step 2: Set The Schedule

  • After selecting the SSID, scroll down to the "Advanced Settings". From the schedule drop down menu, select either "Turn On" (Times you want the Internet on and available for users) or "Turn Off" (Times you want the Internet turned off for users). Drag your mouse over the wanted times for the schedule. If you want to allow users to request additional access outside of the schedule, you can enable the ,"Users can request access during down-time" feature. Click save and you have successfully set a schedule for your SSID.

If you have made a schedule for "Turn Off", rather than shut down all SSIDs during those times, we continue to broadcast SSIDs but restrict Internet traffic.

During times that an SSID is "off", a splash page is used to inform users that the SSID is off and will also display the next time that the SSID will be available.  A splash page is also used to request access (if enabled). Splash pages are web based, so for these features to work properly, the client device accessing the WiFi must have a web browser installed.  If the device does not have a web browser, it will still be blocked but unable to see when Internet access will be available again or request access (if enabled) when the Internet access is disabled.
