QUESTION
Can you connect an Anybus Bolt or Ewon device to a network using a captive portal?
ANSWER
No, you cannot connect an Anybus Bolt or Ewon device to a network that is using a captive portal as the device has no way of entering the needed credentials of the captive portal. Instead, the Anybus Bolt/Ewon device would need to be able to bypass this requirement from the network in order to connect.
