MSM 710 Wireless HotSpot
I have a client who has an HP MSM 710 Wireless controller. They lost all documentation on this device, no passwords, no managemnt IP info. It has been reset to defaults. I need to configure this as a captive portal with no authentication. It simply present an Acceptable Use Policy page that a customer must click on accept to access the Internet. It is completely isolated from any other network. It is the DHCP and DNS server for the LAN behnd it - consists of Cisco APs as well as wired clients on a single LAN(with a single VLAN). The MSM 710 has a dedicated internet connection.
I have configured this same setup using pfSense as a Captive Portal in about 30 minutes, but I am looking for a HOWTO to do this with the MSM 710. The manual is 580 pages!
Internet --> MSM710 -192.168.196.1> --> <SWITCH Vlan 30> Wireless APs (not managed by the MSM710) on 192.168.196.0 (VLAN 30) AND Wired clients on same 192.168.196.0 (VLAN 30)

meverest,
Sort of what I told the client already. I've used pfSense before. I've not heard of mikortik before, sounds interesting.
for 500 points, give me or point me to the steps to configureing the captive portal with no authentication and a customized (just logos and hyperlinks) splash page. Page only needs "I Accept" button for Acceptable use. For 40.00, I'll buy one just to test.

Hi qwa6060,
The MSM710 is an excellent device which I've been using extensively on many hotspot / guest access set-ups. Setting it up is very easy due to the good web interface.
The manual of this device can be found at:

or the latest release:

Hi qwa6060
Did you figure out how to configure this MSM710 I do have the same problem I just reset to factory reset upgarded to ver 5.5.0 configure my public static IP on the internet interface and i'm using the default LAN 192.168.1.1/24 for the internal LAN but my PC is not being redirected to the captive portal. My PC has ip 192.168.1.2 gw & dns 192.168.1 connected on a port on the same vlan as internal lan. I'm using the default VSC any ideas??

Nope, never did get this working. for what I need it was WAY easier to replace this with a pfSense device and enable captive portal. Done it 30 minutes with a device that doesn't need to be restarted weekly to keep working. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks a lot qwa6060 for replying to this comment. I think if I don't find a solution quickly I will take a look into pfSense the only think that worries me is that I will have to find a way to power this pfSense box as the MSM710 was using PoE.
Hi!
FWIW, MikroTik routerBoards support PoE! :)
Cheers, Mike.

you'll save yourself time and money - why waste hours researching how to fix some obscure product when you can set up your captive portal with this little beauty in 5 minutes flat (literally, including opening the box! ;-)
you'll save your customer money too, since surely your time costs them more than 40 bucks for a superior replacement! ;-)
cheers!
