5. WGS5000’s Configuration Examples
5.1. WGHotel
A 4 Star hotel with Ethernet cable network to all rooms, Wi-Fi coverage in public areas (conference
rooms, reception hall, bar), intends to control the offer of Internet service to their customers.
The WGS5000 will be connected to the EasyLinq interface for automatic user/password creation
and charge directly their bill within the Front office.
A ticket printer will be installed at reception which prints a ticket with user/password every time
there is a guest check-in.

5.1.2. Project Steps
Network Planning
The decision was to share the existing ADSL Line between the internal Hotel and customer use. The
WGS5000 will be configured to only allow the usage of half of the available bandwidth to the public
Internet Service.
The Hotel LAN will be protected from any access from the users of the public network.
Power Over Ethernet Access Points were selected to minimize the cabling and maximize the remote
maintenance capabilities.
The current UTP Cat5 infrastructure connecting the rooms to the back office rack was used to
implement a customer LAN using Layer 2 Switches.
