Assuming 12.34.56.78 is ControlAP Pro public IP address (or use your domain name):

web auth URL:    https://12.34.56.78/hotspot/login

If you are not running a hotspot at ControlAP Pro
login check URL: http://12.34.56.78/hotspot/check

If you are running a local hotspot at ControlAP Pro use a different port:
login check URL: http://12.34.56.78:81/hotspot/check

In either case you have to additionally edit the following file at ControlAP Pro:
mediatracker/conf/server.xml:

uncomment from:

<!--
    <Connector port="80" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="443" acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>
-->

to:

    <Connector port="80" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="443" acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>

and change port 80 to 81 if you are also running a hotspot at Pro location. If not, do not "Start" the local hotspot.

For above change to take affect, you have to exit and run ControlAP Pro again.
