User’s Manual
WHG Controller / HSG Gateway ENGLISH
4ipnet WHG Controller’s built-in database named “On-Demand”. The 4ipnet WHG
Controller’s “On-Demand” database capacity varies with different model. On-
Demand User is designed for short term usage purpose; it has time or volume
constraints and an expiration period. An On-Demand account record will be recycled
for creating new On-Demand account if it has expired for over 15 days or has been
deleted by the Administrator/Manager manually. In addition, 4ipnet WHG
Controller’s On-Demand database can be configured as an external RADIUS
database for another 4ipnet WHG Controller for account roaming.
External Authentication Database is a user account database that is not built-in
the 4ipnet WHG Controller. Besides Local database and On-Demand database,
4ipnet WHG Controller supports four additional types of External Authentication
databases namely RADIUS, POP3, LDAP (including Active Directory), and NTDomain
(Win2K’s NTDS). External Authentication Database is useful for both implementing
account roaming and centralized account management.
Service Zone is a logic partition of 4ipnet WHG Controller’s LAN. The concept of
Service Zone is that it is a virtual gateway with customizable login portal page with
its own gateway properties (such as LAN IP address, DHCP server settings,
authentication options, etc.). With up to nine independent Service Zone profiles,
4ipnet WHG Controller is capable of servicing multiple hotspot franchises with a
single device.
LAN Port Mapping is the correspondence relationship of logical network partitions,
i.e. Service Zones to physical LAN ports on the 4ipnet WHG Controller There are
two modes of mapping available namely “Port-Based”, and “Tag-Based”. Port-Based
mode statically maps a Service Zone to clients down stream of a physical LAN port.
This mode will only service the maximum number of service zones based on the
amount of physical LAN ports. Tag-Based mode dynamically maps a client to a
service zone based on the VLAN ID tagged on the traffic packet.
