What does the Setup Wizard do?

This is an old revision of the document!

When the root user or any admin user log into RADIUSdesk, the system detects if you do not have any clouds to manage.
If this is the case, it will launch the Setup Wizard.
The Setup Wizard is the recommended way to create a new cloud.

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.

Select this option if your require your customers to use an easy to remember voucher.
This option is for situations where customers are not likely to be regulars.

Permanent users will use a username and password combination.
Emails can be used as a username.
Permanent users are normally allowed where a customer will regularly use your hotspot.
Permanent user can self register 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 the Cloud and its various items have been created, you can specify the cloud to be displayed by default when you log in.
On the top right is a drop down button with a Settings option which will bring up the following screen.

Once you saved the new settings please log out an in again to confirm it works as intended
