Configuration of the bintec Hotspot server by the dealer

Dealers/service providers wishing to set up bintec Hotspot service receive the access data for an administrator access when ordering. This access allows the service provider to perform all relevant configurations and presets for his customers.

The dealer must determine these settings and configurations:

Complete client profile

  1. Launch an Internet browser and open the page at https://hotspot.bintec-elmeg.com.

  2. Enter your user name in the User name field of the input window.

  3. Enter your password in the Password field of the input window and click on the Login button.

Login

Proceed as follows to edit the client profile:

  1. Go to Client -> Overview.

Client-> Edit Client

Proceed as follows:

  1. Under Logo select the file with Browse... via the file browser. Under Logo, you can upload your company logo in PNG format. Your logo will appear on each printout. (The Logo of the users starting page, you can configure via edit template.)

  2. Under Terms and conditions, you can upload your company-specific terms and conditions for the Hotspot. However, this is only necessary if you use the Default Free Service; usually, you'll save the general terms and conditions on your own webspace (refer to Location->Overview->Upload Manager).

  3. Confirm your entries with Save.

Note

Under Passwords we recommend you to select the parameter Only figures . Thus, entering the password on Tablet PCs or with different keyboard layouts is made easier.

Create users

A list of all users is displayed in Users -> Overview. The dealer can create users. Proceed as follows:

  1. Go to User-> New assistant.

User -> New assistant

Die fields User name, Last name and E-Mail are required fields.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Under User name enter Hotel_Reception for example.

  2. Under Authorisation group select Assisant . The assistant can only manage accounts, e.g., as needed for a hotel reception. The administrator can manage localities, users, charges and accounts, but cannot create new clients.

  3. Select a Location, in case several localities exist.

  4. Under Last name enter the surname of the user, e.g. Reception .

  5. Enter the E-Mail address of the user, e.g. test@test.de . The access data are automatically sent to the indicated e-mail address.

  6. Confirm your entries with Submit.

Create rates

A list of all created rates is displayed in Tariff -> Overview. You can edit existing rates or create new ones.

  1. Go to Tariff -> New tariff to create a new rate.

Tariff -> New tariff

The Identifier field is a mandatory field.

Proceed as follows to create a new charge:

  1. Under Identifier enter a identifier for the rate, 10 Minute Ticket for example.

  2. Enter the Runtime, e.g. 10 minutes.

  3. Select the Time unit (runtime) Total .

    Note

    Note that the available time begins to run when the user logged in for the first time. Inactivity or logging out does not stop time from decreasing. Total means the overall available runtime while the daily setting provides the available runtime every day.

    The price is a symbolic parameter displayed on the pint-out.

  4. Under Price if applicable, enter a price in Euro, 1.00 for example.

  5. Enter an end date for the runtime of a time or volume rate.

  6. Under Location select All .

  7. Confirm your entries with Submit.

Tip

If you wish to enter a permanent flatrate, under Runtime enter 1440 minutes and under Time unit (runtime) select daily .

Edit locations

In the menus for the desired login method, you can edit a location in the Location-> Overview-> <Edit Location> submenu. There, the upload manager allows you to upload your terms and conditions into the provided Home directory.

If you intend to create additional locations, you can purchase a corresponding license, enter your data and then activate the new location at www.bintec-elmeg.com under Hotspot Licensing.
