Upload custom hotspot HTML pages

Rather than editing the sample HTML pages, you can upload a custom login page with a different filename.

The new page should include ChilliLibrary.js and call the same JavaScript functions that the sample HTML pages do. Additional pages and assets can be uploaded to the hotspot folder, and additional subfolders can be created as needed. Supported file extensions include: .html, .gif, .js, .jpg, .mp4, .ogv, .png, .swf, .json, and .dat.

You can configure the TX64 device to use your custom HTML page using either the WebUI or the command line:

 

  1. Upload your custom HTML file to the TX64 device's filesystem:

      Log into the TX64 WebUI as a user with full Admin access rights.

    1. On the menu, click System. Under Administration, click File System.

      The File System page appears.

    2. Highlight the hotspot directory and click to open the directory.
    3. Click (upload).
    4. Browse to the location of the HTML file on your local machine. Select the file and click Open to upload the file.
  2. Configure the hotspot to use your custom HTML file:
    1. On the menu, click Network > Hotspot.
    2. Click the name of the appropriate hotspot to expand.
    3. Ensure that Login page source is set to Local.
    4. For Login page, type the name of your custom HTML file.
    5. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the TX64 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. Use the scp command to upload the edited file from your local machine the the TX64 device. For example:
    > scp host 192.168.4.1 user admin remote /home/admin/temp/ local /etc/config/hotspot/custom.html to local
  3. Configure the hotspot to use your custom HTML file:
    1. Type config to change to configuration mode:
      > config
(config)>
    2. Set login to local-page:
      (config)> network hotspot hotspot_name login local
(config)>
    3. Set local-page to your custom HTML file:
      (config)> network hotspot hotspot_name local-page custom.html
    4. Save the configuration and apply the change.
      (config)> save
Configuration saved.

    5. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.

      Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
