Features
All-in-One Hotspot Gateway
ZyXEL G-4100 v2 is an all-in-one hotspot gateway that provides secure free or charged Internet access
according to business policies. It provides authentication and accounting function for both wireless and
wired clients, and supports up to 100 concurrent users. The G-4100 v2 work with SP-200E statement printer
to generate and print tickets with account, password, and pre-configured time for Internet access hours
automatically through a few button clicks on SP-200E. All functions required for hotspot services are self-
contained in the G-4100 v2.
Scalable, Easy-to-Manage User Authentication and Accounting
With an easy-configuration authentication server embedded in the G-4100 v2, no additional hardware or
software are required for hotspot operators such as coffee shops, book stores, hotels or resorts to offer
Internet services. The G-4100 v2 also supports RADIUS server for large-scale hotspot service deployments
in chain stores or airport terminals to provide roaming service from one spot to another through
centralized authentication and accounting features.
Best Hotspot User Experience with Security and Privacy
To provide the best hotspot user experience, the G-4100 v2 features rich networking functions such as IP
PnP, DHCP server, NAT, MAC address and IP address filtering. The IP PnP technology enables the ultimate
“zero configuration” user experience by taking care of the IP networking transparently, which dramatically
improves user satisfaction and reduces technical support needs. User no longer needs to change the IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway, Web proxy and even SMTP server settings. Moreover, V-LAN security
for wired and wireless client, NAT, Layer 2 isolation, as well as MAC and IP address filtering technologies also
work behind the scene to ensure protected user privacy, keeping sensitive personal data from being
exposed to the public.
Tailor-Made Hotspot Gateway
With powerful marketing features built into the G-4100 v2, operators can customize the login page, redirect
user to advertisement links, or provide limited Internet access to the designated home page. Additionally,
powerful management features such as SSL login page, secure remote function, LAN and WLAN device
management are all specifically designed for hotspot offerings. For easy deployment, the G-4100 v2
support PoE and the PoE-capable SP-200E statement printer, so the hotspot solution can be freely placed
regardless of the power outlet location. The G-4100 v2 is not only a gateway tailor-made for hotspot
deployments, but also customizable to fit business and service needs.
