2.3. Preparation before the Installation
Before you start the installation by either following this User Manual or the Quick Installation Guide, below is a short
preparation list to do.
1. Unpack the WHG Controller and go through the package checklist.
2. Review the front panel and the back panel and identify each control and network interface that is described in
the Hardware & Specification section.
3. Prepare Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors.
4. Prepare a PC with Web browser for accessing the Web Management Interface.
5. Identify an upstream device for WHG Controller to connect to in your network, such as ADSL, CABLE modem or
other edge devices. Collect the DNS server address provided by your ISP.
If you are using WHG Controller product for the first time, it is recommended that you follow the Quick Installation
Guide to start up the WHG Controller in a near default state with minimum configuration changes (such as WAN
settings and admin password), then refer to this manual later when you want to configure the system for specific
application needs.
The recommended general steps for the configuration are:
Set up system's Time Zone, NTP server, DNS server and WAN1 address
Configure LAN address range for at least one Service Zone, and enable its authentication. The
Default Service Zone is enabled to require authentication by the factory default.
Create user accounts to test the login page via wire line in the enabled Service Zone.
Try to generate on-demand user and test the account.
Configure Wireless Settings of Service Zone, then add in AP.
Configure more Service Zones base on your application.
Set up Group and Policy (including Firewall rules and Session Limit).
Customize the portal login page and add walled garden Advertisement links if needed.
Set up Payment gateway if you want to use credit card for the on-demand accounts.
Load SSL certificate for the Web Server before operation.
Monitor the status pages and reports generated.
Perform other advanced setting for your specific application.
