8: Characteristics
of the GIS-R3
Gateway Product
The GIS-R3 is a hotspot gateway for up to 100 concurrent users; this means that the unit
can have wired computers connected directly to it (Internet kiosks, business center
computers, etc), and can have wireless access points connected to it. Each wireless access
point can provide a wireless, or WiFi connection for laptop computer users who are within
range of the wireless transmission. WiFi enabled devices include notebook computers,
MAC™ computers, iPhones™, iPods™, and Blackberries™. The GIS-R4 gateway product is
shown below.
The GIS-R3 gateway has
two Ethernet connectors.
One is labeled Internet
and is connected to the
DSL/cable/T1 router. The
second connector is
labeled LAN. A computer
can be connected to the
LAN ports directly or via a
wireless access point. If
more LAN ports are
required then a switch
can be connected. There
is also a power plug for
the 12 volt connector, and
a reset button to reset the
unit to factory defaults.
The application using the GIS-R3 gateway is shown below.
The GIS-R3 is shown with
wireless access points
connected via a switch to
the LAN port. Business
computers connected to
the same DSL circuit as
the WAN port are
protected from hacking by
the PCI DSS compliant
firewall.
