What are HotSpot rules ? Create an HotSpot rule


HotSpot rules is the major feature of the HotSpot revision 4

What are rules ?

Rules are defined by one or several networks.

A network can be a IP address (10.10.10.1 ) or a subnet  ( 10.10.10.0/24) .

When a guest computer is connected to the HotSpot, Artica will try to retrieve the rule according the computer network.
