  • is the SPWF04 configured as Station and you want it to open a web page on a smartphone when SPWF04 associate to an Access point?
  • what else?

Thanks,

Hi Elio,

the SPWF04 is configured as MiniAP and when the smartphone is connected to the mini AP:

Automatically a web page open on the smartphone

​So, you want to implement something like a captive portal?

Hi Elio,

I configure the SPWF04 like this:

-ip_apredirect= stra.html (my Web page)

but that don't work! (No page found at captive portal)

What are the parameters to configure the captive portal?

Best regards

​Hi Patrik,

it seems not possible to enable this feature because the DNS on SPWF04 only respond to requests for the domain specified in ip_apdomainname.

The smartphone make several DNS and http requests before opening the popup and all must be served otherwise the popup is not opened.

ip_apredirect specifies the page that must be sent when the default page (http://<SPWF04's IP>/) is opened.
