2.1 Introduce
The WIAS-3200N v2 is the most economical and feature rich Wireless Hotspot Gateway,
targeting mini-size stores that want to provide small, single-point wireless Internet access
service. WIAS-3200N v2 is a perfect choice for beginners to run hotspot businesses. It
does not cost much compared to buying a pile of equipments, nor does it take the skills of
an expert to glue multiple applications out of multiple freeware. Feature-packed for hotspot
operation, WIAS-3200N v2 comes with built-in 802.11 n/b/g MIMO access point, web
server and web pages for clients to login, easy logo-loading for branding a hotspot store,
simple user/visitor account management tool, payment plans, credit card gateway, traffic
logs, IP sharing , Firewall, Multi-WAN and Qos etc.
One single WIAS-3200N v2 can serve up to 100 simultaneous users, takes control over
authentication, authorization, accounting and routing to the Internet as well as to the
operating central. Built-in AAA system allows hotspot owners set up public access services
without extra RADIUS server.
WIAS-3200N v2 also brings in an extra advantage - the wall-mountable, dust-proof (IP50)
metal housing.
2.2 System Concept
WIAS-3200N v2 is capable of managing user authentication, authorization and accounting.
The user account information is stored in the local database or a specified external
RADIUS database server. Featured with user authentication and integrated with external
payment gateway, WIAS-3200N v2 allows users to easily pay the fee and enjoy the
Internet service using credit cards through a variety of payment gateways including PayPal.
Furthermore, WIAS-3200N v2 introduces the concept of Zones – Private Zone and Public
Zone, each with its own definable access control profiles. Private Zone means clients are
not required to be authenticated before using the network service. On the other hand,
clients in Public Zone are required to get authentication before using the network service.
This is very useful for hotspot owners seeking to deploy wireless network service for clients
and manage the network as well. The following diagram is an example of WIAS-3200N v2
set to manage the Internet and network access services at a hotspot venue.
