Solution

 

The following text can be added to the Self Registration Login page to create a link that allows Self Registered Guests to register additional devices to their same email account (up to the global limit - see Allowed hosts in the Administration Guide).
 
Go to System -> Portal Configuration -> Registration -> Self Registration Login -> Request Page Introduction
 
Insert the following text to the end of the textbox (sample text italicized, text to insert in bold:
 
<p>This form will generate credentials for temporary visitor WiFi access to the internet from your personal computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device.</p><p>Enter in the following information and press the button to request guest access. The credentials will be sent to your email and via text message.</P>
 
<p> <h3><a href="/registration/GuestLoginGCS.jsp">**If you have already registered a device and have received your guest credentials, please click here to register an additional device**</a></h3> 
 
How the above link works:
The Guest Self Registration process allows guests to create a local user account within Network Sentry (similar to the primary guest login or custom login page when the login type is set to 'Local'). This link directs to user to the guest login page, which simply prompts for a local account's credentials.
