Intro:

SOCIFI and Ligowave (formerly Deliberant) are glad to present embedded SOCIFI configuration in LigoWave firmware called SOCIFI ready. From now on the SOCIFI configuration gets much easier and also significantly decreases any chance for miss-configuration. You may check the old Guide to see what has changed.

1. Get the right firmware

Go to: https://www.ligowave.com/downloads  check  APC then 2 GHz then Button and download the firmware: v5.95-2 Hotspot (CLOUD4WI, SOCIFI). Upgrade your APC button.  

2. Network Setting

Set the correct mode (see the picture below). Go to Configuration > Network > Network mode = Router and than enable at least one DNS server as displayed in the WAN, wired section. When done, click on the Save & Apply button to save and activate the setting.

3. The NTP setting

Now we'll need to set the NTP service so the device can use the correct time. Go to Services >  Clock/NTP and select the right timezone and fill in the NTP server name.
Please pick servers that are as close to your location as possible. Please check the NTP list here:http://www.pool.ntp.org/en
Example:
Primary NTP Server: 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Secondary NTP Server: 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Please note that the NTP server setting is the must for the SOCIFI service

4. Wireless/Hotspot SOCIFI ready setting

  Go to Configuration > Wireless and set the Access Point (auto WDS) mode. Then go to Security and select UAM. New option Hotspot Service will appear and you can now select predefined SOCIFI values based on your region.

5. Add a new hotspot to SOCIFI Dashboard

For the Dashboard administration you'll need to know the MAC address of the APC Button device. You can either go toStatus > Network and get the LAN interface address there (in the picture below it's: 00:19:3B:96:42:78) or find the value Radio MAC on the rear side sticker or finally you can see it on a Wifi device display (tablet, ipod .. etc) when an user will try to register for the first time. As the Wifi vendor please use: Deliberant.

Setting up

Go to SOCIFI Dashboard. After successful login go to "Hotspots" menu tab.
Click on the “Add a new hotspot” button located on the top right corner of SOCIFI Dashboard.
The pop-up window appears
Then select hardware manufacturer.
Enter serial number or MAC address (depending on the specific equipment manual) of your equipment. You can add multiple hotspots at once.
To set Network location, click on the input. The location is essential for correct ad targeting.
In the pop-up window type your place or just move the marker on the map and click on Save button to confirm the selection. This address is used for ad GEO targeting.
Finally click on Save button.
Newly added hotspot is marked as Recently added. After the first user connects to the hotspot via SOCIFI, status get automatically changed into Active in an hour.
Do you need help with configuration of your hardware? Good news, we have configuration guides for all supported devices.

And then we classify into the various kinds of  connection packets  and give different priorities to them. It depends on how much you want to classify and get your desired priority. One step further more about bandwidth management, using proxy server on the network is going to be very dramatic role in obtaining the satisfaction of our clients in use of the internet connection. Actually, the browser itself has been using this method, but the ability is still limited by making the cache inside.
