To set up a portal for Draytek first you need to create a template.

Add a Portal

To create a portal go to the Portals tab and click on the New portal button. Enter a name for the portal and specify the business and venue. In Hardware select DrayTek. Then, enter a Site ID based on which the path of the portal URL will be defined.

You can go to Portals to view the settings for the portal(s) just added.
