One of the possible options for «Login» to the WiFi service via the captive portal is the «Login» with a PIN or access key. This type of «Login» requires a key that must be created beforehand and provided to the end user.
Access the PIN creation module from the USERS menu: 
There are three types of PINs: WIFI, TRIAL, and BUSINESS CORNER.
-
- WIFI PIN: This is the most common PIN type. It generates an access key for the «PIN login» method, which must be linked to a specific WiFi service.
-
- TRIAL PIN: Generates an access key for the «PIN login» method specifically linked to a TRIAL service.
-
- BUSINESS CORNER PIN: Generates an access key for the «PIN login» method exclusively used for the WiFi service via the Business Corner captive portal.
From this section, you can create a single PIN or a group of PINs. It also displays a list of all PINs created to date, including information such as: the PIN key, associated service type, duration, number of devices allowed to connect using the same key, creation date, expiration date, and current status (active or inactive).
In this ACTIVE PINS list, you can perform the following actions:
View: Displays the PIN and all its parameters. Additionally, the PIN can be edited or printed from this view.
Print: Generates a PDF file that can be sent to a printer and handed to the end user.
Edit: Allows you to modify PIN values, such as the access key, duration, and the number of allowed devices.
Incident: Opens a support ticket using this specific PIN as a reference.
Refund: Only available for instances where a paid service option is active.
Group Icon: Allows interaction with PINs that belong to a group; options include printing the group, exporting to Excel, or editing PINs individually.
Delete: Deactivates and removes a PIN.
The Create PIN button opens the window where a PIN is created and its parameters are defined.
The PIN is automatically generated, but it can optionally be parameterized to be editable. Refer to CONFIGURE SITE / PINs to enable this and other options when creating a PIN.
Duration: (The period the PIN will remain active).
Devices: (Number of devices that can connect using the same key/PIN). These are mandatory parameters and will define the end user’s experience when connecting to the WiFi.
Service: Automatically displays a pop-up window after filling in the Duration and Devices fields. This window shows the services that most closely match the entered data (if available).
Red Data: Data shown in red indicates service parameters that do not match the entered Duration or Device values. In such cases, the manually entered data will always take precedence when creating the PIN.
Email Delivery: There is also an option to send the PIN key via email at the moment it is generated.
Default Setting: By default, the site is created with a 1-day service for 1 device.
For more information on service creation, see the WiFi Service Management section.
