Getting to Know Your VSG

This chapter introduces the features and applications of the VSG.

1.1 Introducing the VSG

The VSG-1200 V2 Vantage Service Gateway is a rack-mountable service gateway that
provides multiple subscribers easy Internet connectivity. The VSG is ideal for office, hotspot
and hotel network environments.
Hotspots are public areas, such as airports, hotels, coffee shops, where end users (or
subscribers) can access the Internet at any time.

1.2 Features

Your VSG provides the following features to accommodate subscribers with a variety of
network configurations with little or no technical support.
Property Management System (PMS)
Many hotels use a PMS to perform automatic billing of services the guests use such as room
service, mini-bar, pay-per-view TV or telephone calls. The VSG supports PMS from Micros
Fidelios.
CAS (Central Authentication Service)
The Hilton Group Corporation developed the High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) service to
provide Internet access service across its entire Hilton Group hotels. In order to use the HSIA,
hotel guest(s) must be authenticated through the proprietary CAS. The CAS performs both
user authentication and accounting.
Credit Card Billing
Your VSG is integrated with various online credit card billing service providers allowing you
to use a credit card service to authorize, process, and manage credit card transactions directly
through the Internet.
SSL Secure Login
With Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security activated upon login, data exchanged between the
VSG and client computers is encrypted and protected.
