* When the root user or any admin user logs on to RADIUSdesk, the system recognizes whether you have any clouds to manage. * If none is defined yet, it starts the **Setup Wizard**. * The Setup Wizard is the recommended way to create a new cloud. ====== What does the Setup Wizard do? ====== {{:getting_started:wizard_1.png |}} ===== Step 1 ===== * Contains the basic information needed to create a new Cloud. * When the wizard is complete you can simply add Access Points to your networks and you are good to go! * Adding a new Cloud should take no longer than 5 minutes!! * The wizard creates the following items automatically so you don’t have to. * The default values work out of the box but if you require something different you can always edit these items later. * Let’s assume you sign up a hotel chain called Royal Hotel. Then the following items will be created. ^Item ^Comment ^ |Cloud |With the name Royal Hotel | |Realm |With the name Royal Hotel owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud | |Dynamic RADIUS Client |With the name Royal Hotel owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud | |Dynamic Login Page |With the name Royal Hotel owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud | |Access Point Profile | * Named Royal Hotel (APdesk) owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud. * Open SSID callled Royal Hotel Guest that has a login page (Captive Portal). * Secure SSID called Royal Hotel Wireless that is bridged to the LAN. | |Mesh Network | * Named Royal Hotel (MESHdesk) owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud. * Open SSID callled Royal Hotel Guest that has a login page (Captive Portal). * Secure SSID called Royal Hotel Wireless that is bridged to the LAN. | |Permanent Users | * Named royal_hotel with password as designated owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud * Named click_to_connect@royal_hotel with password as click_to_connect owned by the Royal Hotel Cloud | ===== Step 2 ===== {{:getting_started:wizard_2.png |}} ==== Location and Customer Options ==== * Enter the location here and decide how customers will access your hotspot. * Select one or more === Vouchers === * Select this option if you want your customers to use an easy-to-remember voucher. * This option is suitable for situations where your customers are unlikely to be regular customers. === Permanent Users === * Permanent users use a combination of username and password. * Emails can be used as a username. * Permanent users are normally allowed if a customer uses your hotspot regularly. * Permanent users can register themselves if this option is configured on the login page. === Click-To-Connect === * Allows customers to connect by simply accepting the terms and conditions. ===== Step3 - Branding ===== {{:getting_started:wizard_3.png|}} * Here you can upload a Logo to brand your account. * We recommend a .png or .jpg file with a height of 100px. * The width can vary from 100px to 200px. * ===== Step4 - Login Page Customization ===== {{:getting_started:wizard_4.png|}} * Here you can upload images that will appear on your login page.
