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?

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

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 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.

Here you can upload images that will appear on your login page. We recommend .png or .jpeg format with file sizes of 400Kb or less each.
The first image will be the background image on your login page.
The first image and subsequent images will also appear in the gallery application which is built into the login page.

Once you have created the cloud and its various elements, you can specify which cloud should be displayed by default when you log in.
At the top right is a dropdown button with a Settings option that brings up the following screen.

Once you have saved the new settings, please log out and log back in to confirm that they are working as intended
