Feature Description

The On-Demand API is a powerful feature that can be utilized for Hotspot services. Instead of tickets, clients would be able to

obtain On-Demand accounts through third-party POS systems (such as a Kiosk or Point of Sales Management Systems). This

Application Note aims to give network administrators a better understanding of the concept behind this feature and how it

can be integrated with third-party POS systems.

On-Demand Accounts can be created/deleted with an external API without the Management UI. This is convenient, especially

for integration with POS systems.

The On-Demand API system utilizes parameters in the URL to create accounts and these parameters are to be defined on the

Third-Party System. Once the URL with parameters are sent to the Hotspot Gateway API manager, the Hotspot Gateway On-

Demand API will reply in HTML format as a generated string.

Note: NetComm Wireless does not provide support for integration with third-party POS systems.

On-Demand Manager Admin username (Adm): pos1

On-Demand Manager Admin password (Pwd): pos1password

URL Function Type (Type): query (query for an on-demand-user account)

Specific an On-Demand-User Username to query (Uname): 3737
