Application Example of Omada Controller



This guide applies to:
Omada Controller 2.6.0.

A restaurant has a wireless network with three EAPs managed by the Omada Controller.
The network administrator wants to:
 Monitor the EAPs with the Map.
 Enable Portal function to drive customers’ attention to the ads of the supermarket
when customers attempt to access the network. The costumers need to use a simple
password to pass the authentication.
 Allow the employees of the restaurant to access the network resources without portal
authentication.
 Schedule the radio to operate only during the working time (8:00 am to 22:00 pm) in
order to reduce power consumption.
Follow the steps below to achieve the requirements above.
