Setting the Welcome Page Timeout
How to control the welcome page timeout. Eliminating the timeout enables users to pop up a session monitor window for viewing time or bandwidth usage, or logging out, even if popup windows are disabled by the browser.
Select Captive Portals from the main menu.
Log onto SputnikNet and click on the Captive Portals main menu.
Select a captive portal.
Click on the name of the captive portal you want to edit.
Set welcome page timeout.
Enter a value in the "Welcome screen timeout" field. A value of 10 seconds is the default if nothing is entered.
If you want the welcome page to remain after the user logs in, set the value to 0. This blocks automatic redirect to the Internet, which means that the page remains in the user's browser. The user can return to the page if they need to pop up a session monitor window, for example to see their time online, or to log out. The user can also click on the link embedded in the welcome page to go to their intended page; doing so will spawn a new window so that the welcome page remains available to them.
