2. System Overview
Introduction of HS1100
HS1100 is an all-in-one product specially designed for small wireless/wired network environments. It integrates
“secure access control”, “visitor account provisioning”, and “high-speed secure wireless connection” into
one system to fulfill the needs in Hotspot locations. HS1100 supports 802.11b and 802.11g dual wireless
transmission modes, and at the same time, incorporates convenience, efficiency, and friendliness for network
services.

System Concept
HS1100 is specially designed for user authentication, authorization and accounting management. The user account
information is stored in the local database or a specified external databases server. The user authentication is
processed via the SSL encrypted web interface. This interface is compatible to most desktop devices and palm
computers. HS1100 manages network services for both wired and wireless network users.

The users located at the managed network will be unable to access network resources without permission. When a
user attempts to connect to the Internet by opening a web browser on his computer, HS1100 will redirect the
browser to the user login webpage of HS1100. The user must enter a username and password for authentication.
After the identity is authenticated successfully, the user will gain proper access right defined on HS1100.

>> How to edit “Terms of Use” or “Service Disclaimer” page:

In HS1100, the client first gets a login page when he/she opens a web browser right after associating with
an access point. However, in some situations, the hotspot owners or MIS staff may want to display “terms
of use” or announcement information before the login page. Hotspot owners or MIS staff can design a
new disclaimer/announcement page and save the page in their local server. After the agreement shown
on the page is read, users are asked whether they agree or disagree with the disclaimer. By clicking “I
agree”, users are able to log in. If users choose to decline, they will get a popup window saying they are
unable to log in. The basic design is to have the disclaimer and login function in the same page but with
the login function hidden until users agree with the disclaimer.

If the disclaimer page is successfully uploaded, an upload success page will show up.

Click “Preview” to see the uploaded page.

Console Interface

Via this port to enter the console interface for the
administrator to handle the problems and situations
occurred during operation.
1. In order to connect to the console port of HS1100,
a console, modem cable and a terminal simulation
program, such as the Hyper Terminal are needed.
2. If a Hyper Terminal is used, please set the
parameters as 9600,8,n,1.

The main console is a menu-driven text interface with dialog boxes. Please use arrow keys on the
keyboard to browse the menu and press the Enter key to make selection or confirm what you enter.

3. Once the console port of HS1100 is connected properly, the console main screen will appear automatically. If the
screen does not appear in the terminal simulation program automatically, please try to press the arrow keys, so
that the terminal simulation program will send some messages to the system, where the welcome screen or
main menu should appear. If the welcome screen or main menu of the console still does not pop up, please
check the connection of the cables and the settings of the terminal simulation program.

Utilities for network debugging
The console interface provides several utilities to assist the Administrator to check the system conditions
and to debug any problems. The utilities are described as follows:

Ping host (IP): By sending ICMP echo request to a specified host and wait for the response to test
the network status.

Trace routing path: Trace and inquire the routing path to a specific target.

Display interface settings: It displays the information of each network interface setting including the
MAC address, IP address, and netmask.

Display the routing table: The internal routing table of the system is displayed, which may help to
confirm the Static Route settings.

Display ARP table: The internal ARP table of the system is displayed.

Display system up time: The system live time (time for system being turn on) is displayed.

Check service status: Check and display the status of the system.

Set device into “safe mode”: If the administrator is unable to use Web Management Interface via
browser for the system failed inexplicitly. The administrator can choose this utility and set it into safe
mode, which enables him to manage this device with browser again.

Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately synchronize the clock through the NTP protocol
and the specified network time server. Since this interface does not support manual setup for its
internal clock, therefore we must reset the internal clock through the NTP.

Print the kernel ring buffer: It is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. The program helps
users to print out their boot-up messages instead of copying the messages by hand.

Main menu: Go back to the main menu.

138

Change admin password
Besides supporting the use of console management interface through the connection of null modem, the
system also supports the SSH online connection for the setup. When using a null modem to connect to
the system console, we do not need to enter administrator’s password to enter the console management
interface. But connecting the system by SSH, we have to enter the username and password.

The username is “admin” and the default password is also “admin”, which is the same as for the web
management interface. Password can also be changed here. If administrators forget the password and
are unable to log in the management interface from the web or the remote end of the SSH, they can still
use the null modem to connect the console management interface and set the administrator’s password
again.

Although it does not require a username and password for the connection via the serial port, the same
management interface can be accessed via SSH. Therefore, we recommend you to immediately change
the HS1100 Admin username and password after logging in the system for the first time.

Reload factory default
Choosing this option will reset the system configuration to the factory defaults.

Restart HS1100
Choosing this option will restart HS1100.

RADIUS accounting with VSA

VSA stands for Vendor Specific Attributes. This VSA is a “value in bytes” sent by RADIUS server to gateway along
with an Access-Accept packet. In other words, when your external RADIUS server accepts HS1100’s request,
RADIUS not only replies with an “access-accept” but it also carries a maximum value in bytes that each client is
allowed to transfer. This value is the maximum allowable summation of each client’s download plus upload traffic in
bytes. Access-Accept packet and VSA are sent back to gateway in one session.

The bellowing shows the summary of this VSA format: (The fields are transmitted from left to right.)

Proxy Setting

1. Proxy Setting for Hotspot
HotSpot is a place such as a coffee shop, hotel, or a public area where provides Wi-Fi service for mobile and
temporary users. HotSpot is usually implemented without complicated network architecture and using some proxy
servers provided by Internet Service Providers.

In Hotspots, users usually enable their proxy setting of the browsers such as IE and Firefox. Therefore, so we need
to set some proxy configuration in the Gateway need to be set. Please follow the steps to complete the proxy
configuration：
1.

Click the Network Configuration from top menu and the homepage of the Network Configuration will
appear.

177

HS1100 Wireless Hotspot Gateway User Manual
Click the Proxy Server Properties from left menu and the homepage of the Proxy Server Properties will
appear.

Click Apply to save the settings.

179

HS1100 Wireless Hotspot Gateway User Manual

2. Proxy Setting for Enterprise
Enterprises usually isolate their intranet and internet by using more elaborated network architecture. Many
enterprises have their own proxy server which is usually at intranet or DMZ under the firewall protection.

In enterprises, network managers or MIS staff may often ask their users to enable their proxy setting of the browsers
such as IE and Firefox to reduce the internet access loading. Therefore some proxy configurations in the Gateway
need to be set.

Some enterprises will automatically redirect packets to proxy server by using core switch or Layer 7
devices. However, the clients do not need to enable the proxy settings of their browsers, and the
administrator does not need to set any proxy configuration in the Gateway.

180

Appendix H.

Session Limit and Session Log

Session Limit
To prevent ill-behaved clients or malicious software from using up the system’s connection resources, the
administrator can restrict the number of concurrent sessions that a user can establish.
¾

The maximum number of concurrent sessions (TCP and UDP) for each user can be specified in the Global
policy, which applies to authenticated users, users on a non-authenticated port, privileged users, and
clients in DMZ zones.

When the number of a user’s sessions reaches the session limit (a choice of Unlimited, 10, 25, 50, 100,
200, 350 and 500), the user will be implicitly suspended upon receipt of any new connection request. In
this case, a record will be logged to a Syslog server.

Since this basic protection mechanism may not be able to protect the system from all malicious DoS
attacks, it is strongly recommended to build some immune capabilities (such as IDS or IPS solutions) in
network deployment to maintain network operation.

Session Log
The system can record connection details of each user accessing the Internet. In addition, the log data can be
sent out to a specified Syslog Server, Email Box or FTP Server based on pre-defined interval time.
¾

The description of the fields of a session log record is shown as below:
Field
Date and Time
Session Type

Username

Description
The date and time that the session is established
[New]: This is a newly established session.
[Blocked]: This session is blocked by a Firewall rule.
The account name (with postfix) of the user. When it shows “N.A.”, it
indicates that the user or device does not need to log in with a
username, for example, the user or device is on a non-authenticated
port or on the privileged MAC/IP list. Change the account name
accordingly, if the name is not identifiable in the record.

Note: Only 31 characters are allowed for the combination of
Session Type plus Username.
