EXCAP

  1. When a client connects to your network a web browser is opened with an HTTP-based request (ie. http://google.com). After you have successfully completed the steps described in the configuration section below, the AP in your network will intercept this request and redirect the user through the Meraki cloud platform to the custom URL you specified.

  1. The custom splash page receives a request with the device information. Now you can capture those information for analysis. Once you are prepared to grant access to the user, you must forward necessary information back to the Meraki cloud.
