FirmwareInstallation

Method1–LoadChillifirethroughwebinterfaceoftheoriginalDLinkfirmware

Before proceeding with the installation, download the latest software version for the install from the site

http://chillifire.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.chillifire.net/downloads.php.Youarelookingforafilewithdir615c

inthenamedependingontheroutermodelyouwanttoflash,likechillifire‐09.07‐dir615c‐squashfs.bin–theversion

number(inthiscase09.07)maychangeovertime.

Once you have successfully downloaded the

software, remove the sticker on the back of

the router. Do NOT run the software on the

DVD as requested on the sticker. Instead

connect the router to the internet (via your

ADSL modem or other internet connection)

and your computer through the port marked 1 at the back f the router as shown in the diagram.

Once these two connections are successfully made, connect the router to its power source. You will see

the LCD labeled ‘Power’ on the front of the router flashing. Once this light has stopped flashing you can

open your favorite browser on your computer.

Type in the address http://192.168.0.1 into

the address bar of your browser and press

‘Enter’.

You will now see a pop-up window. No entries

need to be made, just press the ‘Log in’

button.

Press the ‘Tools’ tab, and then the ‘Firmware’

tab.

On the ‘Firmware’ screen press the ‘Browse’

button and locate the Chillifire software you

had previously downloaded onto the laptop.

Press the ‘Upload’ button.

Wait until the ‘Upgrade was successful’ screen

shows AND the rooter has rebooted. (this may

take up to 5 minutes).

Chillifire Hotspot Router Installation GuideVersion 09.07

Close the browser and open a new browser

window. Type in the address

http://192.168.12.1 into the address bar of

your browser and press ‘Enter’.

You will be presented with another logon

screen.

Enter ‘admin’ as user and ‘shae-4’ as

password.

(You can change the password later to

anything you like.)

You will see the initial System Info screen,

giving you details about version and status

of the firmware.

You were Successful!

Method2–LoadChillifirethroughResetmodeandWebPageUpgrade

This method is the method for upgrades once the original firmware has been replaced by Chillifire.

Set your computer’s IP address to static IP

connectthe router to the power.

Keep pressing the reset button, until the light

next to the D-Link logo in the front of the router

starts blinking solowly.

Release the ‘Reset’ button.

Chillifire Hotspot Router Installation GuideVersion 09.07

Open a browser and type in the ip address http://192.168.0.1 into

the url address bar of the browser. You will see a file upload

screen that allows you to load another firmware image. Find the

image on your PC and press ‘Send’

The browser will load the new firmware, indicate progress and

finally reboot. This may take 5 minutes or more.

Now set your computer back to

receiving an IP address through

DHCP again (setting “Obtain IP

address automatically”)

Open a new browser window. Type in

the address http://192.168.12.1 into

the address bar of your browser and

press ‘Enter’.

You will be presented with the

firmware’s logon screen.

Enter ‘admin’ as user and ‘shae-4’ as

password.

(You can change the password later to

anything you like.)

You will see the initial System Info

screen, giving you details about version

and status of the firmware.

You were Successful!

Next Step is to register the router.

Chillifire Hotspot Router Installation GuideVersion 09.07

RouterRegistration

Please note: For the registration process to work your router MUST be connected to the internet and

have a valid connection. If you cannot access the internet from the computer connected to the router, you

are most likely not connected to the internet and this registration process will fail.

1. Log in to your router. On the menu press ‘Chillifire’, then

‘Registration’. You now need to press the ‘Register this

Router’ button.

2. Next you will see the Chillifire login screen. If

you already have an account created on our

website or you are adding another router to your

existing account, please type in your account

name and password and press the ‘Login’

button.

If you do not have an account yet, please press

the ‘Signup Now’ button and create a new

account (see step 3).

3. If you pressed the ‘Sign up now’ button, you will the Chillifire Control Panel Login screen. Choose an

account name (up to 10 characters), enter the billing address details of your account (can be different to

the physical address of the router(s), choose the default currency for your router(s) and finally, enter an

affiliate code, if you have been given one (otherwise, leave empty).

Press the ‘Register’ button on the screen and you will see a success message.

Chillifire Hotspot Router Installation GuideVersion 09.07

FAQ: Why do I have to enter an address twice?

The address you enter with the account is like your billing address. It is not necessarily the address the router is located at.

Consider also that over time you may implement more than one router in different locations. Then you need to be able to store

different addresses with your different routers. Storing each router address individually will also allow us to show to potential

customers where to find your router on an online street map.

4. The system will direct you automatically to a screen

that allows you to register the router against your

account (regardless whether you pressed the ‘Login’ or

the ‘Sign up now’ button in step 3.

IMPORTANT: If you just signed up now as described in

step 8 be sure you activate your account first via the

activation email you will receive. You cannot logon before

you activated the account!

Enter the router location and

press ‘Insert’.

The system will return a message

to confirm the successful

registration of the router. DONE!

RouterConfiguration

This section describes how to change some configuration settings of the Chillifire Hotspot. While this list of

configuration options is by no means exhaustive, it gives guidance to the most popular configuration

options.

All the configuration options described in this guide occur on the router. Please open your favorite

browser, type http://192.168.12.1 into the browser’s address bar and press enter. You will need to log in

with your user name admin and the password. The standard password is ‘shae-4’.

Settingyourtimezone

Please select the timezone that is relevant for you

or the one closest to you. Selecting the timezone

will automatically reschedule the daily reboot to

between 3-4am of your local time. It will also

determine the most appropriate Chillifire server

to connect to so that your users have the fastest

possible online connection facility.

Press the ‘Save Settings’ button

and confirm your settings by pressing ‘Apply

Settings’

Definea“WalledGarden”

A ‘walled garden’ is a

facility that allows hotspot

users access to selected

sites without having to be

logged on. This makes

sense if you want to give

access to your own

website, i.e. your hotel’s

or café’s information

pages.

The sites the users are allowed to have access to can be defined by entering them into the allowed sites

filed and pressing the ‘Add Allowed’ button. You can remove allowed sites by pressing the ‘remove it’ lkink

next to the allowed site.

Press the ‘Save Settings’ button

and confirm your settings by pressing ‘Apply Settings’

Chillifire Hotspot Router Installation GuideVersion 09.07



Defineyourcustomsplashpage/homepage

In standard mode the

Chillifire system will bring

up a login page for users

who have connected to the

hotspot, open a browser,

but are not yet logged in.

However, this behavior

can be over written with

the ‘Home Page’ setting.

Change the ‘Home Page’

field to ‘Your Own

Homepage’ and press the

‘Save Settings’ button in

the bottom right corner.

This will open a new field

‘Home page’ in the

‘Captive Portal’ section.

Enter your home page

with the leading protocol

http:// or https:// for example http://www.yourdomain.com/yourstartpage.html or

https://www.yourdomain.com/yourstartpage.html. You MUST include a link

https://192.168.182.1:3990/prelogin into your home page. This link leads to the Login Page (if the user is

connected to the hotspot network) so the hotspot user can buy tickets and can login.

Press the ‘Save Settings’ button

and confirm your settings by pressing ‘Apply Settings’

Switchondetailedhotspotusertraffictracking

If your jurisdiction demands

it, you can track the surfing

of the hotspot users on IP

address level. We do not

recommend to switch on this

facility without an explicit

legal requirement to track

this information, as it

increases the overhead of

each connection

considerably. In

consequence the throughput

and speed of the connection

will be negatively impacted,

as well as any data limits you have agree with your ISP will be reached faster.

To switch on the hotspot usage tracking set the indicator ‘Logging of Hotspot activity’ to ‘On’.

Press the ‘Save Settings’ button

and confirm your settings by pressing ‘Apply Settings’

Chillifire Hotspot Router Installation GuideVersion 09.07

Changeyourrouter’spassword

Go to System->Status

Enter the new password

(twice identical)

Press ‘Save Settings’

The system will prompt you

to enter the user name

‘admin’ and the new

password to continue.

Changeyourrouter’sSSID(nameofthehotspottheenduserwillsee)

Go to Network->Wireless

Change the SSID to any

value you like. Allowed

characters are large and

small letters [A…Z], [a…z],

[numbers [1…9],

underscores and dashes

[_-]. Please do use not any

other characters, as this

could cause issues.

We recommend leaving all

other settings as is, unless

you really know what you

are doing. To change

channels, please see point 2 below.

Press the ‘Save Settings’ button and confirm your settings by pressing ‘Apply Settings’

AdddevicestotheWhitelisttobypasshotspotauthentication

Devices that have been put on the whitelist will

bypass the login procedure completely and have

straight and unlimited access to the internet. The

devices that are on the whitelist are defined by their

MAC Address, which can be entered on the Chillifire

Configuration Screen.

Note: The MAC address can be found on the bottom

of the Chillifire login screen.

Just enter the MAC address in the field and press

‘Add Allowed Device’ button. Confirm your settings

by pressing ‘Apply Settings’.

To remove a device press the ‘remove it’ link next

to it.

ChangethewirelesschanneltheHotspotissendingon

In an area with a number of wireless networks present it can be

beneficial not to allow the router to select a channel by itself, but

to look for other networks present in the area, and to select a

channel that is not yet used. This will avoid interference and

improve signal range and clarity for the receiving clients. In a

wireless extender scenario, sending and receiving on the same

channels between routers is essential.

Go to Status->Wireless

Press the ‘Scan’ button

After scanning the environment for other networks the system

will give you all the other networks it found and their channels.

You can now go to Network->Wireless

and select a channel that is not yet used

in your specific environment.

Press the ‘Save Settings’ button

and confirm your settings by pressing

‘Apply Settings’
