Universal Acces Method

8.1 UAM Overview

When using internal UAM, the Login page is the first page a client receives when he starts his W eb
browser and enters any URL. To get access to the network, the user should enter his authentication
settings: login name and password and click the login button:


The GD-GEO20 could be shared by several W ireless Internet Service Providers (WISP). They
are uniquely identified by specifying WISP domain name in addition to subscriber user name
when logging in. APC can be configured to send authentication and accounting information to
different
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) servers associated with different W ISP domains.

8.2 UAM Configuration

UAM authentication is available on radio interfaces (including VAPs) only if GD-GEO20 is
working as router in Access Point (auto WDS) wireless mode.

The APC allows user authentication through external or internal Web portal. This authentication
method is called UAM. User provides login credentials and then W eb portal attempts to authenticate
and authorize the client using the provided information. Client will not send any authentication
requests directly to the APC, the W eb portal will do this. On success, APC will allow access to the
Internet; otherwise W eb portal will display failure notice.
