     Table 1 Built-in Portal server

     Parameter	Description
     Server IP	Indicates the IP address of the Portal server. Users are then redirected to the Portal server if they enter URLs that are not located in the free IP subnet. NOTE: The IP address assigned to the built-in Portal server must have a reachable route to the user. The built-in Portal server cannot use the gateway IP address of the device interface connected to clients. It is recommended that a loopback interface address be assigned to the built-in Portal server because the loopback interface is stable. Additionally, packets destined for loopback interfaces are not sent to other interfaces on the network; therefore, system performance is not deteriorated even if many users request to go online.
     SSL policy	SSL policy used by a built-in Portal server. Click and select an SSL policy, Click to delete the selected SSL policy.
     Port number	Indicates the port that provides the authentication service on the Portal server.
     Authentication mode	Indicates the authentication mode including PAP and CHAP. You are advised to use the CHAP with high security.
     Page file package	Indicates the file in .zip format. The file contains web pages that users access during authentication.

  2. Set parameters for authentication server.
