  • Page 3: D-Link Dsa

    Introduction This document outlines the configuration process on both the D-Link Multi-Service Business Gateways and the amigopod appliance to create a fully integrated Visitor Management solution. The solution leverages the captive portal functionality built into the D-Link DSA-3600. D-Link uses the terminology of User Login Pages to refer to their internal captive portal functionality and it can be generally defined as follows: Captive portal allows a wireless client to authenticate using a web-based portal.

  • Page 4: Test Environment

    Test Environment The test environment referenced throughout this integration guide is based on a D-Link DSA- 3600 Multi-Service Business Gateway. Although this low end hardware platform has been used, the testing and therefore this procedure is valid for all DSA hardware variants from D-Link as it is the DSA software that is providing the integration points with amigopod.

  • Page 5: Integration

    The following diagram provides a high level overview of the test lab topology: Integration Although the D-Link DSA-3600 supports both internal and external Captive portal functionality, this integration guide will focus on the later as the internal HTML Authentication dictates the use of the internal Login Page resident on the controller itself.

  • Page 6: Amigopod Configuration

    Amigopod Configuration The following configuration procedure assumes that the amigopod software or appliance has been powered up and a basic IP configuration has been applied through the setup wizard to allow the administrator to access the Web User Interface. The following table again reviews the IP Addressing used in the test environment but this would be replaced with the site specific details of each customer deployment: DSA WAN1 IP Address...

  • Page 7: Step 1 – Create Radius Nas For D-Link Dsa-3600 Gateway

    Step 1 – Create RADIUS NAS for D-Link DSA-3600 Gateway In order for the D-Link DSA-3600 to authenticate users it needs to be able to communicate with the amigopod RADIUS instance. This step configures the amigopod NAS definition for the D- Link DSA-3600 Gateway.

  • Page 8: Step 2 – Restart Radius Services

    Step 2 – Restart RADIUS Services A restart of the RADIUS Service is required for the new NAS configuration to take effect. Click the Restart RADIUS Server button shown below and wait a few moments for the process to complete. CONFIDENTIAL...

  • Page 9: Step 3 – Create A Web-Login

    Step 3 – Create a Web-Login Page From the RADIUS Services ! Web Logins page select the Create New Web Login page option at the bottom of the page. From the RADIUS Web Login page enter a name and description of the Web Login page you are creating.
  • Page 10 Ensure the Submit Method is set to POST. By default the D-Link DSA-3600 uses port 80 for unsecured HTML authentication and 443 for secure HTML authentication. Via the System ! General settings on the D-Link DSA-3600 all we login traffic can be configured to use HTTPS (port 443) and therefore provide secure encryption for the username and password traffic being sent over the wireless network.
  • Page 11 The decision to use either secure (https) or non-secure (http) authentication will be determined by what sort of Guest Access you intend to provide. If you are providing credit card based billable Guest Access then the expectation would be that all transactions would be secure and protected by a https session.

  • Page 12: Step 4 - Review To Web Login Captive Portal

    Step 4 - Review to Web Login Captive Portal page Returning to the Web Logins page, select the D-Link Web Login entry and Click the Test button and in a new window the configured captive portal page will be displayed as shown below: Click the Back button in the web browser to return to the amigopod configuration screen.

  • Page 14 If your design requires the use of other Service Zones than the Default Service Zone then the NAT settings for these zones will also have to be updated. If you intend to run your network in a routed environment you will either need to update your routing tables on the default gateway router that is servicing the network the WAN1 port of the DSA is connected to and / or add a static route to the amigopod configuration.
  • Page 15 Click on the Routes option and add in the details for your IP address range allocated to the LAN port on the DSA as shown below: CONFIDENTIAL...
  • Page 16 Step 1 – Enable DHCP on LAN port In our Lab environment DHCP needs to be enabled on the Default Service Zone to provide IP addresses to both downstream D-Link Access Points and any wired clients connected to this interface of the DSA-3600. This is configured again under System ! Service Zones ! Default ! Configure as shown in the following screen shot: CONFIDENTIAL...

  • Page 17: Step 2 – Install Managed D-Link Access Points (Optional)

    Step 2 – Install Managed D-Link Access Points (Optional) Although the D-Link DSA-3600 range of gateways is designed primarily for the centralized control of D-Link Access Points, the gateway can be equally used for providing Access Control in pure wired environments. The many different methods of configuring the D-Link Access Points is covered extensively in the D-Link DSA-3600 User Guide in Chapters 4.3 and is therefore considered outside of the scope of this Integration guide.
