4.9 Wi-Fi Authentication
4.9.1 Overview
With the popularity of wireless networks, Wi-Fi has become one of the marketing means for merchants. Customers
can connect to the Wi-Fi provided by the merchants to surf the Internet after watching advertisements or following
the WeChat official accounts. In addition, to defend against security vulnerabilities, the wireless office network
usually allows only employees to associate with Wi-Fi, so the identity of the clients needs to be verified.
The Wi-Fi authentication function of the device uses the Portal authentication technology to implement information
display and user management. After users connect to Wi-Fi, the traffic will not be directly routed to the Internet.
Wi-Fi users must pass authentication on the Portal authentication website, and only authenticated users are
allowed to use network resources. Merchants or enterprises can customize Portal pages for identity authentication
and advertisement display.
4.9.2 Getting Started
(1) Before you enable Wi-Fi authentication, ensure that the wireless signal is stable and users can connect to Wi-
Fi and surf the Internet normally. The wireless SSID used for authentication in the network should be set to
the open state. Encryption may lead to exceptions during Connect Wi-Fi via WeChat authentication.
(2) If the IP address of an AP in the network is within the authentication scope, add the AP as the authentication-
free user. For details, see Section 4.10.9 Authentication-Free.
○ In a Layer 2 network, add the MAC address of the AP to the authentication-free MAC address whitelist.
○ In a Layer 3 network, add the IP address of the AP to the authentication-free IP address whitelist.
4.9.3 WeChat Authentication
1. Overview
The EG device is connected to the MACC authentication server on the cloud. After Wi-Fi users connect to Wi-Fi,
a Portal page pops up. The users need to jump to WeChat and follow the WeChat official account before they
can access the Internet. WeChat authentication is applicable to the shopping mall scenario, where merchants
guide customers to follow their WeChat official accounts through WeChat authentication.
2. Getting Started
(1) Connect Wi-Fi via WeChat is a Layer 2 protocol. Ensure that the authentication device can obtain the MAC
addresses of the wireless users.
