ACCESS GATEWAY
86 System Administration
Link from the hotel’s HPR Page.
7. Enable or disable the AAA Passthrough Port feature, as required. System administrators
can set the Access Gateway to pass-through HTTPS traffic, in addition to standard port 80
traffic, without being redirected. When access to a non-HTTPS address (for example, a
Search Engine or News site) has been requested, the subscriber is then redirected as usual.
8. If AAA passthrough is enabled, enter the corresponding port number.
9. Enable or disable the 802.1x Authentication Support feature, as required.
10. Enable or disable the Origin Server (OS) parameter encoding for Portal Page and EWS
feature, as required.
11. You can choose to Enable failover to Internal Web Server Authentication if Portal
Page/External Web Server is not reachable
by placing a check in that box.
12. Enable or disable Port Based Billing Policies.
The Port Location capabilities on the NSE have been enhanced. It is now possible to
define a policy on a port. The billing methods (RADIUS, Credit Card, PMS, L2TP
Tunneling) and the billing plans available on each port can now be individually
configured.
This ability allows for having different billing methods and billing plans on different ports
identified by VLANs or SNMP Port Query of the concentrator. A practical application of
this feature is to have a normal hotel room with a plan A that is $9.99 for a day with PMS
billing and have a meeting room with a plan of $14.99 an hour with Credit Card billing.
In order for the port-based policies to work, you must enable Port Based Billing Policies.
See also “Adding and Updating Port-Location Assignments {Add}” on page 204.
13. Enable or disable HTTPS Redirection.
The NSE responds to regular HTTP requests from pending subscribers with a redirection
to the login screen. The NSE does not respond to HTTPS requests from pending
subscribers (HTTP requests with a destination port = 443) with a redirect; this will result
in a timeout or invalid certificate warning.
Your product license may not support this feature.
The port number must be different than 80, 2111, 1111, or 1112.
Both AAA and RADIUS Authentication must be enabled for 802.1x
Authentication support.
