1.8.6.2. Local Authentication Sever

The SMCWHSG44-G supports local Authentication Sever capabilities for
Hotspot venues where standard RADIUS or a Billing server(s) are difficult to
implement. The local Authentication Server contains a built-in database for
2,000 user entries.
To setup the Local Authentication method:
1. Go to the section AAA\Web-redirection, in 'Functionality' of 'Basic'
column, select 'Enable with Authentication'.
2. In 'Authentication protocol', select 'Local Accounts'.
3. Go to the AAA\Ticket Settings to setup the billing information. In the
Ticket Setting page, the fields related to the billing information are the
'Monetary Unit' and the 'Amount of Money Per Unit'. The fields that relate to
the user permitted access time (or session time) are 'Unit of Session Time
(min)' and 'Valid period (hour)'. You can specify the appropriate content
which reflects the information of Hotspot venues to be shown on the ticket
content. More detail for the Ticket Setting configuration is described as
below:
• Monetary Unit: to define the unit of currency, eg., input 'USD' for US Dollars
or 'EURO' for Euro Dollars. The currency unit will show on the billing ticket.
