Cisco Meraki connects to Easy Smart WiFi through an open guest SSID that uses Sign-on with my RADIUS server, a walled garden whitelist, two RADIUS authentication servers on port 1812, two RADIUS accounting servers on port 1813, and custom splash URLs under Wireless > Splash Page. Easy Smart WiFi is guest WiFi marketing software that captures opted-in emails and phone numbers on a branded splash page after RADIUS sign-on completes. Meraki may require a support case to enable RADIUS Accounting before accounting servers can be saved.
