Internal And External Web Servers; Language Support; Home Page Redirection; Subscriber Management - Nomadix Universal subscriber gateway User Manual

Internal and External Web Servers

The USG supports both internal and external Web servers which act as a login
interface between subscribers and the solution provider's network, including the
Internet. The internal Web server is "flashed" into the system's memory and the login
page is served directly from the USG. In the external Web server model, the USG
redirects the subscriber's login request to an external server. Either method is
transparent to the subscriber; however, the advantage of using the internal Web server
is obvious – no login redirection tasks and a faster response time for the subscriber.

Language Support

The USG's subscriber interface supports many Asian and European languages,
including: English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.

Home Page Redirection

The USG can be configured to redirect all valid subscribers to a Web portal or home
page determined by the solution provider. After a specified time, from the first home
page redirection (determined by the system administrator), subscribers are redirected
again to the portal at the next Web page request.

Subscriber Management

The USG provides several subscriber management models, including:
Free access (for example, no AAA functionality)
! ! ! !
MAC address
! ! ! !
Port-Location ID (for example, by room or unit number)
! ! ! !
User name and password
! ! ! !
Credit card
! ! ! !
Combinations of two or more subscriber management models can be used. When a
subscriber connects to the network and attempts to access the Internet, the USG looks
for each model in the given order above.
