21.11 HotSpot Gateway

The HotSpot Solution allows provision of public Internet accesses (using WLAN or wired
Ethernet). The solution is adapted to setup of smaller and larger Hotspot solutions for
cafes, hotels, companies, communal residences, campgrounds, etc.
The HotSpot Solution consists of a Teldat gateway installed onsite (with its own WLAN
access point or additional connected WLAN device or wired LAN) and of the Hotspot serv-
er, centrally located at a computing centre. The operator account is administered on the
server via an administration terminal (e.g., a hotel reception PC); this includes functions
such as registration entry, generating tickets, statistical analysis, etc.
Login sequence at the Hotspot server
• When a new user connects with the Hotspot, he/she is automatically assigned an IP ad-
dress via DHCP.
• As soon as he attempts to access any Internet site with a browser, the user is redirected
to the home/login page.
• After the user has entered the registration data (user/password), these are sent to the
central RADIUS server (Hotspot server) as RADIUS registration.
• Following successful registration, the gateway opens Internet access.
• For each user, the gateway sends regular additional information to the RADIUS server
for recording accounting data.
• When the ticket expires, the user is automatically logged off and again redirected to the
home/login page.
