Client connecting to Endian Hotspot

Now that we have talked about the server-side of Endian Hotspot lets speak about the connection on the clientside. What exactly does a user have to do to be able to use Endian Hotspot? Actually it couldn't be any easier...

Endian Hotspot Client start page

First of all the client has to go to a terminal that is connected to Endian Hotspot. He will be presented with a welcome screen that shows the content of the page that has been specified in the Template Editor section. By clicking on the appropriate flag symbol the user can choose the language he wants. If ASA is activated every house guest can login by using the Login for house guests link which can be found in the menu on the left just above the normal Login link which is the way to go if either ASA is disabled or the user is not a house guest.
