Dynamic Single IP
Just like Dynamic Single MAC you can add an IP-address for a device, which then will be automatically set online as soon as any traffic is recognized by the IAC-BOX.
Dynamic Wildcard MAC

With Wildcards you can specify a MAC address by using wildcards. As soon as a device matches the wildcard and is being recognized by the IAC-BOX, it will get online. This mode is very helpful if you want to add alot of devices with similar MAC addresses (e.g. Access Points).
Example:
A:11:22:*:*:*

Similar to Dynamic Wildcard MAC you can assign a range of IP-addresses by using a wildcard.
Example:
172.30.110.* - 172.30.110.1 - 172.30.110.254
172.30.110.?? - 172.30.110.10 - 172.30.110.99
Using Lists
Uploading and Downloading IP or MAC address lists is also possible on the Autologon Devices configuration page for mass import or export operations.
6.2 Email Login
This manual describes how to provide an email login for your guests.
Hint:
• This module became free for all IAC-BOXes with valid Software Maintenance as of 1st december 2016.
• The login by using an Email is meant to be free, guests can not be charged.
• In order to configure the Email login a valid SMTP configuration (Settings / Network) is required.
• The Email login requires at least one valid ticket template, configured as 0 C (free).
6.2.1 How it works
On the Client Login Page of the IAC-BOX, guests will notice an Email icon. This icon can be used to input an
Email address . After confirming the email address, the IAC-BOX will send an email to it. The email will contain the credentials in order to log in, as well as a hyperlink which enables guests to log in immediately. Note that after clicking the email icon, guests will be set online for a configurable amount of time. This can be used to also check online email services via HTTP.
Example content of an email:
