ACCESS GATEWAY
Introduction 21
Session Termination Redirect
Once connected to the public access network, the NSE will automatically redirect the customer to a Web site
for local or personalized services if the customer logs out or the customer’s account expires while online and
the goodbye page is enabled. In addition, the NSE also provides pre- and post-authentication redirects as well
as one at session termination.
Smart Client Support
The NSE supports authentication mechanisms used by Smart Clients by companies such as Adjungo
Networks, Boingo Wireless, GRIC and iPass.
SNMP Nomadix Private MIB
Nomadix’ Access Gateways can be easily managed over the Internet with an SNMP client manager (for
example, HP OpenView or Castle Rock). See Using an SNMP Manager on page 65.
To take advantage of the functionality provided with Nomadix’ private MIB (Management Information Base),
to view and manage SNMP objects on your product, see Installing the Nomadix Private MIB on page 62.
Static Port Mapping
This feature allows the network administrator to setup a port mapping scheme that forwards packets received
on a specific port to a particular static IP (typically private and misconfigured) and port number on the
subscriber side of the NSE. The advantage for the network administrator is that free private IP addresses can
be used to manage devices (such as Access Points) on the subscriber side of the NSE without setting them up
with Public IP addresses.
Tri-Mode Authentication
The NSE enables multiple authentication models providing the maximum amount of flexibility to the end user
and to the operator by supporting any type of client entering their network and any type of business
relationship on the back end. For example, in addition to supporting the secure browser-based Universal
Access Method (UAM) via SSL, Nomadix is the only company to simultaneously support port-based
authentication using IEEE 802.1x and authentication mechanisms used by Smart Clients. MAC-based
authentication is also available.

URL Filtering
The NSE can restrict access to specified Web sites based on URLs defined by the system administrator. URL
filtering will block access to a list of sites and/or domains entered by the administrator using the following
three methods:
Host IP address (for example, 1.2.3.4).
Host DNS name (for example, www.yahoo.com).
DNS domain name (for example, *.yahoo.com, meaning all sites under the yahoo.com hierarchy,
such as finance.yahoo.com, sports.yahoo.com, etc.).
The system administrator can dynamically add or remove up to 300 specific IP addresses and domain names
to be filtered for each property.
