E) User Pages Templates Syntax
In this section you will find syntax for the writing of the user pages with examples for the writing of
XSL templates. The BW1330 web server creates XML, having data inside its structure:
Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Gemtek>
<Header Script_Name="login.user" Title="Login" charset="; charset=ISO8859-
1" language="en"/>
<Data nasid="TestLab" version=" BW1330" help="images/help.html"

</Data>
<WISPAccessGatewayParam MessageType="120" ResponseCode="100">
<entry ReplyMessage="Your password has expired."/>
</WISPAccessGatewayParam>
<Errors id="4102"/>
</Gemtek>
Current script filename (to be used in forms action attribute) can be located in the XML tree at:
/Gemtek/Header/@Script_Name
Page title at:
/Gemtek/Header/@Title
Custom char set (if enabled on administration pages) for user pages at:
/Gemtek/Header/@charset
Welcome.xsl
Welcome page is the first page that the user sees while not registered on the network. This page
provides welcome text to the user who is connected to the controller and supplies a link to the login
page.
Attribute in XML tree at /Gemtek/Data/@cmd defines the link to the login page. This link should be
used to point the user from the welcome screen to login screen. The Welcome page also lists
defined walled garden entries, informing the user where to browse without registering on the network.
Walled Garden information is located in the XML tree under /Gemtek/Data with multiple "entry"
branches. These branches have the following attributes:
descr - website description;
url - website URL;
id - website id for BW1330 configuration, which is not needed for the user connecting to the
network through the BW1330.
Login.xsl
Login page appears when the user is not registered to the network and tries to open a webpage. The
user proceeds to the login page, following the link from the welcome page. The Login page has
variables that can be used:
/Gemtek/Header/@Script_Name - script name to send back to the BW1330 user login information;
/Gemtek/Data/@username - the username to be entered into the user name field – usually the
name the user entered before while unsuccessful in registering on the network;
BROWAN Page
145
User’s Guide Version 1.0
/Gemtek/Data/@ip - detected user IP from which he/she tries to register on the network;
/Gemtek/Data/@mac - detected users MAC address;
/Gemtek/Errors/@id - returned error code, which can be as follows:
error description
4101 Failed to authorize.
4102 Login or/and password incorrect.
4103 Network connection failed.
4104 Accounting error.
4105 Unknown authorization error.
4106 Could not get redirection URL.
4107 Already logged in.
/Gemtek/Data/@type - returns to BW1330 response for login request. Type values are as follows:
error description
0 Ok - logged in, redirect user to start page
1 Failed to authorize
2 Login or/and password incorrect
3 Network connection failed
4 Accounting error
5 User already logged in
It is advisable to first check the error codes, because they return more precise information. Branch
"Type" returns RADIUS server response, which gives additional information about the user status.
This can help in detecting whether the user is just logged in or has come to this page while already
logged-in.
/Gemtek/WISPAccessGatewayParam/entry/@ReplyMessage - the RADIUS server response
message on user logon [optional]. This parameter supports multiple messages.
This optional RADIUS Reply-Message's could provide more detailed information, why user logon
failed.
/Gemtek/Data/@cmd - link to logout page. The logout page displays network usage statistics and
provides the logout from the network function.
/Gemtek/Data/@url - the URL of start page to where the user is redirected after successful login.
Usually it can be the website of the company or organization providing the BW1330 controller and
configuring the users to visit their website.
/Gemtek/Data/@help - link to help page regarding how the user should register on the network.
When the user clicks the login button, information is sent to: /Gemtek/Header/@Script_Name
location with following information:
username - user name to register to network;
password - user password.
When the form is submitted, user information is checked and indication of success or failure is
returned.
Logout.xsl
The logout page displays network usage statistics and the user ability to logout from the network. The
Logout page is displayed after the successful login and with usage statistics which are automatically
refreshed after a defined time period.
BROWAN Page
Logout page has variables:

To log off the user, call the script defined in /Gemtek/Header/@Script_Name with variable cmd
set to logout. This could be done trough POST or simply GET methods supplying simple link with
parameters:
<a href="/logout.user?cmd=logout">.
To get user usage statistics, simply refresh the script defined in /Gemtek/Header/@Script_Name
with no variables set. This could be done by defining the simple link:
<a href="/logout.user">.
Help.html
This is a HTML file with no embedded cgi prepared. It is advisable to write instructions for the user on
how to register to the network or what to do in the case of troubleshooting.
Unauthorized.html
This page appears if the user is not registered on the network or the web authentication is not
provided on the AC. It is recommended to include information on how to contact the network
administrator (e.g. phone number).
Smart Client
The BW1330 cannot only be used with a browser, but with a smart client connected to the BW1330
through HTTPS connection; thus, retrieving information given as XML in the same login.user output.
To support a smart client, the following lines should be included in all user XSL templates:
<xsl:import href="xml-in-comments.xsl"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Gemtek/WISPAccessGatewayParam"/>
Commands for User Pages
A user who is not logged in and trying to browse the Internet will be redirected to the welcome page
automatically.
The welcome page address is:
https:// BW1330_ip_address/welcome.user
The login page address is:
https:// BW1330_ip_address/login.user
The logout and session information page address is:
https:// BW1330_ip_address/logout.user
For the user who is logged in, the form should be posted to /login.user address and the form
should have the following parameters:
username - username to log on;
password - user password;
'cmd' with value 'login'.
To receive connected user session information, the following address should be used:
https:// BW1330_ip_address/logout.user
To disconnect a user who is currently connected, the following address should be used:
BROWAN Page
https:// BW1330_ip_address/logout.user with parameter 'cmd' with value 'logout'.

User’s Guide Version 1.0
Entering the following address into the browser will disconnect the currently logged in user:
https:// BW1330_ip_address/logout.user?cmd=logout
Upload Templates
All user pages files (welcome.xsl, login.xsl, logout.xsl, help.html, unauthorized.html) can be on an
external server or on the BW1330. Which templates are to be used is found in user interface |
configuration | pages. The BW1330 has default user templates that can be replaced by uploading
new templates. Any uploaded templates and images overrides the default templates.
Next to predefined templates, there are supported image types:
PNG
GIF
JPG
Supported cascading style sheets:
CSS
Uploaded file types are detected by their extension.
Use of cascading style sheets (css) is not required, but recommended.
The Wireless PAC administrator is responsible to conduct tests to ensure that all uploaded templates
are correct and work as expected. After the upload, the controller does not verify the correctness of
the uploaded templates. If the controller is not able to load the uploaded xsl template, it will use the
default build-in templates.
Image Location
Designers who prepare custom user templates should take note of the location of the images used.
All uploaded images, style sheets and static HTML pages (help.html and unauthorized.html) are
located at the virtual directory 'images'. Uploaded image example.gif will be accessible at the
following path: 'images/example.gif'
Using other paths like 'webserver/example.gif' or 'example.gif' will redirect to
images/unauthorized.html' or if UAM is enabled to user page (welcome.user, login.user or logout.user
depending on device configuration and user status).
This is an example of how to use an image in a XSL template:
<img name="example" src="images/example.gif" />

802.11: 802.11 is a family of specifications for
wireless local area networks (WLANs)
developed by a working group of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The original specification provides for an
Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) and
several physical layer (PHY) options, the most
popular of which uses GFSK modulation at
2.4GHz, enabling data rates of 1 or 2Mbps.
Since its inception, two major PHY
enhancements have been adopted and
become "industry standards".
802.11b adds CCK modulation enabling data
rates of up to 11Mbps, and 802.11a specifies
OFDM modulation in frequency bands in the 5
to 6GHz range, and enables data rates up to
54Mbps.
A
AAA: Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting. A method for transmitting roaming
access requests in the form of user credentials
(typically user@domain and password),
service authorization, and session accounting
details between devices and networks in a
real-time manner.
authentication: The process of establishing the
identity of another unit (client, user, device)
prior to exchanging sensitive information.
B
backbone: The primary connectivity
mechanism of a hierarchical distributed
system. All systems, which have connectivity
to an intermediate system on the backbone,
are assured of connectivity to each other. This
does not prevent systems from setting up
private arrangements with each other to
bypass the backbone for reasons of cost,
performance, or security.
Bandwidth: Technically, the difference, in Hertz
(Hz), between the highest and lowest
frequencies of a transmission channel.
However, as typically used, the amount of data
that can be sent through a given
communications circuit. For example, typical
Ethernet has a bandwidth of 100Mbps.
bps: bits per second. A measure of the data
transmission rate.
D
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is a communications protocol that lets
network administrators manage centrally and
automate the assignment of Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses in an organization's network.
Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that
can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP
address. When an organization sets up its
computer users with a connection to the
Internet, ÿn IP address must be assigned to
each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address
must be entered manually at each computer
and, if computers move to another location in
another part of the network, a new IP address
must be entered. DHCP lets a network
administrator supervise and distribute IP
addresses from a central point and
automatically sends a new IP address when a
computer is plugged into a different place in
the network.
DNS: Domain Name Service. An Internet
service that translates a domain name such as
browan.com to an IP address, in the form
xx.xx.xx.xx, where xx is an 8 bit hex number.
E
EAP: Extensible Authentication Protocol.
Defined in [RFC2284] and used by IEEE
802.1x Port Based Authentication Protocol
[8021x] that provides additional authentication
methods. EAP-TLS (Transport Level Security)
provides for mutual authentication, integrity-
protected ciphersuite negotiation and key
exchange between two endpoints [RFC2716].
EAP-TTLS (Tunneled TLS Authentication
Protocol) provides an authentication
negotiation enhancement to TLS (see Internet-
Draft <draft-ietf-pppext-eap-ttls-00.txt>).
ERP: Extended Rate PHY. The 802.11g
enhancement to the Physical Layer definition
that introduces OFDM as a mandatory coding
scheme for mandatory 6, 12 & 24Mbps bit
rates and 18, 36, 48 & 54Mbps optional bit
rates. The ERP retains backward compatibility
with 802.11b coding and modulation
mechanisms.

G
gateway: A gateway is a network point that
acts as an entrance to another network. On
the Internet, a node or stopping point can be
either a gateway node or a host (end-point)
node. Both the computers of Internet users
and the computers that serve pages to users
are host nodes. The computers that control
traffic within your company's network or at
your local Internet service provider (ISP) are
gateway nodes.
H
hotspot: A hotspot is wireless public access
system that allows subscribers to be
connected to a wireless network in order to
access the Internet or other devices, such as
printers. Hot-spots are created by WLAN
access points, installed in public venues.
Common locations for public access are hotels,
airport lounges, railway stations or coffee
shops.
hotspot operator: An entity that operates a
facility consisting of a Wi-Fi public access
network and participates in the authentication.
HTTP: The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
is the set of rules for exchanging files (text,
graphic images, sound, video, and other
multimedia files) on the World Wide Web.
Relative to the TCP/IP suite of protocols
(which are the basis for information exchange
on the Internet), HTTP is an application
protocol.
HTTPS: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol
over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL)
is a Web protocol developed by Netscape and
built into its browser that encrypts and
decrypts user page requests as well as the
pages that are returned by the Web server.
HTTPS is really just the use of Netscape's
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a sublayer
under its regular HTTP application layering.
I
ICMP: ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol) is a message control and error-
reporting protocol between a host server and a
gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are
processed by the IP software and are not
directly apparent to the application user.
IEEE: Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers. The IEEE describes itself as the
world's largest professional society. The IEEE
fosters the development of standards that
often become national and international
standards, such as 802.11.
IP: The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or
protocol by which data is sent from one
computer to another on the Internet. Each
computer (known as a host) on the Internet
has at least one IP address that uniquely
identifies it from all other computers on the
Internet. When you send or receive data (for
example, an e-mail note or a Web page), the
message gets divided into little chunks called
packets. Each of these packets contains both
the sender's Internet address and the
receiver's address. Any packet is sent first to a
gateway computer that understands a small
part of the Internet. The gateway computer
reads the destination address and forwards
the packet to an adjacent gateway that in turn
reads the destination address and so forth
across the Internet until one gateway
recognizes the packet as belonging to a
computer within its immediate neighborhood or
domain. That gateway then forwards the
packet directly to the computer whose address
is specified.
IPsec: IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a
developing standard for security at the network
or packet processing layer of network
communication. Earlier security approaches
have inserted security at the application layer
of the communications model. IPsec will be
especially useful for implementing virtual
private networks and for remote user access
through dial-up connection to private networks.
A big advantage of IPsec is that security
arrangements can be handled without
requiring changes to individual user computers.
Cisco has been a leader in proposing IPsec as
a standard (or combination of standards and
technologies) and has included support for it in
its network routers.
IPsec provides two choices of security service:
Authentication Header (AH), which essentially
allows authentication of the sender of data,
and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP),
which supports both authentication of the
sender and encryption of data as well. The
specific information associated with each of
these services is inserted into the packet in a
header that follows the IP packet header.
Separate key protocols can be selected, such
as the ISAKMP/Oakley protocol.

ISP: An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a
company that provides individuals and other
companies access to the Internet and other
related services such as Web site building and
virtual hosting. An ISP has the equipment and
the telecommunication line access required to
have a point-of-presence on the Internet for
the geographic area served.
L
LAN: A local area network (LAN) is a group of
computers and associated devices that share
a common communications line and typically
share the resources of a single processor or
server within a small geographic area (for
example, within an office building). Usually,
the server has applications and data storage
that are shared in common by multiple
computer users. A local area network may
serve as few as two or three users (for
example, in a home network) or many as
thousands of users (for example, in an FDDI
network).
M
MAC: Medium Access Control. In a WLAN
network card, the MAC is the radio controller
protocol. It corresponds to the ISO Network
Model's level 2 Data Link layer. The IEEE
802.11 standard specifies the MAC protocol
for medium sharing, packet formatting and
addressing, and error detection.
N
NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is
the translation of an Internet Protocol address
(IP address) used within one network to a
different IP address known within another
network. One network is designated the inside
network and the other is the outside. Typically,
a company maps its local inside network
addresses to one or more global outside IP
addresses and unmaps the global IP
addresses on incoming packets back into local
IP addresses.
NAT is included as part of a router and is often
part of a corporate firewall.
P
POP3: POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) is the
most recent version of a standard protocol for
receiving e-mail. POP3 is a client/server
protocol in which e-mail is received and held
for you by your Internet server. Periodically,
you (or your client e-mail receiver) check your
mail-box on the server and download any mail.
POP3 is built into the Netmanage suite of
Internet products and one of the most popular
e-mail products, Eudora. It's also built into the
Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer
browsers.
PPP: PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a
protocol for communication between two
computers using a serial interface, typically a
personal computer connected by phone line to
a server. PPP uses the Internet protocol (IP)
(and is designed to handle others). It is
sometimes considered a member of the
TCP/IP suite of protocols. Relative to the Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference
model, PPP provides layer 2 (data-link layer)
service. Essentially, it packages your
computer's TCP/IP packets and forwards them
to the server where they can actually be put on
the Internet.
PPP is a full-duplex protocol that can be used
on various physical media, including twisted
pair or fiber optic lines or satellite transmission.
It uses a variation of High Speed Data Link
Control (HDLC) for packet encapsulation.
PPP is usually preferred over the earlier de
facto standard Serial Line Internet Protocol
(SLIP) because it can handle synchronous as
well as asynchronous communication. PPP
can share a line with other users and it has
error detection that SLIP lacks. Where a
choice is possible, PPP is preferred.
PPPoE: PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet) is a specification for connecting
multiple computer users on an Ethernet local
area network to a remote site through common
customer premises equipment, which is the
telephone company's term for a modem and
similar devices. PPPoE can be used to have
an office or building-full of users share a
common Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable
modem, or wireless connection to the Internet.
PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP), commonly used in dialup connections,
with the Ethernet protocol, which supports
multiple users in a local area network. The
PPP protocol information is encapsulated
within an Ethernet frame.
BROWAN Page

User’s Guide Version 1.0
PPPoE has the advantage that neither the
telephone company nor the Internet service
provider (ISP) needs to provide any special
support. Unlike dialup connections, DSL and
cable modem connections are "always on."
Since a number of different users are sharing
the same physical connection to the remote
service provider, a way is needed to keep
track of which user traffic should go to and
which user should be billed. PPPoE provides
for each user-remote site session to learn
each other's network addresses (during an
initial exchange called "discovery"). Once a
session is established between an individual
user and the remote site (for example, an
Internet service provider), the session can be
monitored for billing purposes.
PPTP: Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) is a protocol (set of communication
rules) that allows corporations to extend their
own corporate network through private
"tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a
corporation uses a wide-area network as a
single large local area network. This kind of
interconnection is known as a virtual private
network (VPN).

RADIUS: RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service) is a client/server protocol
and software that enables remote access
servers to communicate with a central server
to authenticate dial-in users and authorize
their access to the requested system or
service. RADIUS allows a company to
maintain user profiles in a central database
that all remote servers can share. It provides
better security, allowing a company to set up a
policy that can be applied at a single
administered network point. Having a central
service also means that it's easier to track
usage for billing and for keeping network
statistics.
S
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) is the protocol governing network
management and the monitoring of network
devices and their functions. It is not
necessarily limited to TCP/IP networks.
SNMP is described formally in the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for
Comment (RFC) 1157 and in a number of
other related RFCs.
SSL: The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a
commonly-used protocol for managing the
security of a message transmission on the
Internet. SSL has recently been succeeded by
Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is
based on SSL. SSL uses a program layer
located between the Internet's Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transport
Control Protocol (TCP) layers. The "sockets"
part of the term refers to the sockets method
of passing data back and forth between a
client and a server program in a network or
between program layers in the same computer.
SSL uses the public-and-private key
encryption system from RSA, which also
includes the use of a digital certificate.
T
TCP: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a
set of rules (protocol) used along with the
Internet Protocol (IP) to send data in the form
of message units between computers over the
Internet. While IP takes care of handling the
actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of
keeping track of the individual units of data
(called packets) that a message is divided into
for efficient routing through the Internet.
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which
means that a connection is established and
maintained until such time as the message or
messages to be exchanged by the application
programs at each end have been exchanged.
TCP is responsible for ensuring that a
message is divided into the packets that IP
manages and for reassembling the packets
back into the complete message at the other
end. In the Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) communication model, TCP is in layer 4,
the Transport Layer.
TCP/IP: TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic
communication language or protocol of the
Internet. It can also be used as a
communications protocol in a private network
(either an intranet or an extranet). When you
are set up with direct access to the Internet,
your computer is provided with a copy of the
TCP/IP program just as every other computer
that you may send messages to or get
information from also has a copy of TCP/IP.
User’s Guide Version 1.0
W
TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher
layer, Transmission Control Protocol,
manages the assembling of a message or file
into smaller packets that are transmitted over
the Internet and received by a TCP layer that
reassembles the packets into the original
message. The lower layer, Internet Protocol,
handles the address part of each packet so
that it gets to the right destination.
WAN: A wide area network (WAN) is a
geographically dispersed telecommunications
network. The term distinguishes a broader
telecommunication structure from a local area
network (LAN). A wide area network may be
privately owned or rented, but the term usually
connotes the inclusion of public (shared user)
networks. An intermediate form of network in
terms of geography is a metropolitan area
network (MAN).
Telnet: Telnet is the way to access someone
else's computer, assuming they have given
permission. (Such a computer is frequently
called a host computer.) More technically,
Telnet is a user command and an underlying
TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote
computers. On the Web, HTTP and FTP
protocols allow to request specific files from
remote computers, but not to actually be
logged on as a user of that computer.
X
XSL (Extensible Style sheet Language),
formerly called Extensible Style Language, is a
language for creating a style sheet that
describes how data sent over the Web using
the Extensible Markup Language (XML) is to
be presented to the user.
U
UAM: Universal Access Method is the current
recommended methodology for providing
secure web-based service presentment,
authentication, authorization and accounting of
users is a WISP network. This methodology
enables any standard Wi-Fi enabled TCP/IP
device with a browser to gain access to the
WISP network.
