Configuring Username, Password and Domain
Open Mobile is an Android application that lets you utilize your iPass account to login to Wi-Fi hotspots around the world on your Android device. The Open Mobile software will bypass the normal authentication required at many of the world's hotspots and instead utilize your single iPass account.
This application is supposed to work with any Android device which runs Android OS version 1.5 and above. However this has been tested only on HTC Magic.
Open Mobile displays a scanned list of Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity. The iPass enabled networks are identified by an iPass icon prefixed to the network name for easy identification. You can connect to one of the network listed by selecting the network and connecting to it by the way of pressing the selection.
Use the menu option ‘Disconnect’ to disconnect from a network. You can disconnect from a network only if the network is an iPass enabled one and you have made the connection using Open Mobile application.
Before logging into a hotspot venue, you must supply a username, password and domain. Choose the 'Account' menu option to provide your credentials. Your username and domain are always remembered whereas your password will be saved only if you check the Save Password box.
Open Mobile can be enabled to automatically initiate a connection to an iPass enabled network. This feature can be configured through the AutoConnect menu. By default this feature is turned OFF.
The Hotspot Finder feature helps you search online for iPass-enabled Wi-Fi networks around the world. Choose ‘Hotspot Finder’ from the menu and Open Mobile launches the default browser opening the online Hotspot Finder.You should be connected to the internet to use this feature.
Open Mobile provides a history of the last few successful and unsucecssful connection attempts.
Open Mobile records troubleshooting logs during the course of a connection. You can send these logs by mail to the pre-configured support email for troubleshooting and analysis by using the 'Send Logs' menu option. Make sure that USB debugging is turned ON under Settings->Applications->Development
