License bundle Lancom Systems LANCOM Public Spot Option (Bulk 10) — 10 licenses, network management software

The LANCOM Public Spot Option (Bulk 10) from Lancom Systems is a bundle of 10 software licenses that adds guest access and hotspot functionality to compatible LANCOM access points and controllers. Developed for managed network environments, this software option enables web-based user authentication, integration with RADIUS AAA servers, and SNMP monitoring to support centralized management and accounting of public WLAN access. The product is intended for deployments in hotels, cafés, event venues and corporate guest networks and originates from Germany.

Advantages

The license bundle enables the activation of Public Spot capabilities on up to ten devices or ten concurrent public-spot instances depending on the deployment model, providing a scalable approach to guest access management. Web-based authentication simplifies user login while RADIUS AAA integration and accounting allow secure identification and centralised user administration. SNMP support (MIB-II and vendor-specific MIB) and compatibility with LANCOM’s professional management tools facilitate monitoring, reporting and integration into existing network management workflows.

How to use

After allocation of licenses to the target access points or controller, configure the Public Spot settings: define captive portal pages or voucher mechanisms, set authentication and accounting parameters to use a local or RADIUS AAA server, and apply SSID and access-control policies. Use the LANCOM management tools to distribute configurations, monitor active sessions and generate accounting reports.

Recommendations

Assign licenses based on the planned number of guest access points or concurrent public-spot instances and keep RADIUS and SNMP integration in place for centralized authentication and monitoring. Regularly update captive portal content and review accounting settings to meet local compliance and privacy requirements.
