HOTSPOT GATEWAY
Introduction 19
The advantage of using IPSec is that all types of management traffic are supported,
including the following typical examples:
z ICMP - PING from NOC to edge devices
z Telnet - Telnet from NOC to edge devices
z Web Management - HTTP access from NOC to edge devices
z SNMP
z SNMP GET from NOC to subscriber-side device (for example, AP)
z SNMP SET from NOC to subscriber-side device (for example, AP)
z SNMP Trap from subscriber-side device (for example, AP) to NOC
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
This feature allows for the creation of an end-to-end encrypted link between your
NSE-powered product and wireless clients by enabling the Internal Web Server
(IWS) to display pages under a secure link—important when transmitting AAA
information in a wireless network when using RADIUS.
SSL requires service providers to obtain digital certificates from VeriSign™ to create
HTTPS pages. Instructions for obtaining certificates are provided by Nomadix.
Secure XML API
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used by the subscriber management module
for user administration. The XML interface allows the NSE to accept and process
XML commands from an external source. XML commands are sent over the network
to your NSE-powered product which executes the commands, and returns data to the
system that initiated the command request. XML enables solution providers to
customize and enhance their product installations.
This feature allows the operator to use Nomadix' popular XML API using the built-in
SSL certificate functionality in the NSE so that parameters passed between the
Gateway and the centralized Web server are secured via SSL.
If you plan to implement XML for external billing, please contact
technical support for the XML specification of your product. Refer to
“Contact Information” on page 312.
