Step 7 – Create a new “Site”. To do this click on “Configuration” 
D-Link
 
Click “Create Site”
D-Link
 
Enter a “Site Name” – We have used London and also added the user “Reception” to the “Site member” list. You need to do this, because this user was setup to create the Passcodes and will be used to create them for this site and network.

Click “OK”

Step 8 – Create a new “Network”. To do this click on the (+) next to the new site
D-Link
 
Then click the (+) symbol to “Create network”

D-Link
 
Click the “X” at top right-hand corner to close

D-Link
 
Click the “Discovery” button to find the access-point(s) you would like to manage. In our example, we have only one.

Step 12 – Set the IP address of the AP within your LAN subnet. We have changed our example from 192.168.0.50 to 192.168.1.15 – To do this select the AP and then click “Set IP”
D-Link
 
You may also set to “Dynamic IP Address” if desired. We have chosen “Static IP Address”. We have left the DNS server as blank. Once set, click “OK”

Click “Login”

Select the SSID – In our example it was “Office” – Our setup was as follows:

SSID: Office

Last active day: 2015-07-31 (click here to show a calendar)

User Limit: 10
D-Link

 
Click “Generate”
D-Link
 
The above list can also be printed if there is on-line printer by clicking “Print”
D-Link

Sign out of this user – In our example it is “Reception” and then log back into “admin” user
D-Link
 
Step 15 – Upload the configuration. To do this, you will need to login to admin user and select the SSID
D-Link
 
Click “Uploading configuration”
D-Link

 
Select “Run” (if not already) and then click “Complete”
D-Link
 
The progress will go through a phase of; Updating and then Rebooting. Please wait until “Status” shows “Complete” and “Success (Click to View Results)”

Step 16 – Login to the Captive Portal. You will need to search for the SSID created in Step 9 – We have used a Nokia Lumia 925. Go to the WiFi Settings and search for the SSID
D-Link
 
Tap the SSID you have used – We have used “Office” – Tap this to connect

When you open a web browser you should be present with the following “Secure internet portal” page – this was configured in Step 9
D-Link
 
Click “Use Policy” and accept the message, then enter one of the passcodes that were generate in Step 14
