Access Option - DHCP only

We would like to use a plan to allow users open access during certain events. What do I need to set to allow this to happen? Basically I need the DHCP to work and give a global limit on bandwidth.

Thank you.

You can use the Anonymous Option (under Authentication Server -> Login Option). Basically, the client will need to click a button (optionally need to enter a Shared Secret also) before he can proceed to surf the Internet.

FirstSpot has its own DHCP server so make sure you disable other DHCP server (e.g. wireless AP) in your visitor network. You can also take advantage of our Global Bandwidth Throttling feature to prevent individual from monopolizing the bandwidth.
