DSA-3110 Hotspot Edition – User Manual
2. A part of network connection bandwidth is often spent on service information (up to 7-8% of
the bandwidth). Therefore, when a user whose bandwidth equals to 100 KBps copies a file
from a remote server via FTP, the user’s actual band rate may be equal to 92-93 KBps.
Users
This page is used to handle the local user database.
Note
: In the previous firmware versions, the parameter group
Username – IP address – MAC
address
served as a unique user key. In the current software version, the system doesn't check
whether a MAC address is unique in order to handle users connected via VPN routers (such users
have the same MAC address, but different IP addresses).
A
ttention
!
The note above is related to VPN routers only.
For users connected via devices with the
NAT (Network Address Translation) function, IP addresses are not kept. Therefore, users
connected via a device with the NAT function are handled as one user.
The local database contains accounts for
all
users of the public Hotspot network that are
authenticated via HTTP.
In total, you can create up to 250 users in the local database.
Each user belongs to a group, which defines service data related to user data accounting: the type of
accounting, the price unit, the bandwidth, etc. (for more details, see the previous section).

Working with User Table
You can add users to the local user database, edit user accounts, or remove users from the database.
Initially, three buttons are available on the page:
Add
,
Generate
, and
Add from file
.
The
Add
button is designed to create new users. For more details, see below.
The
Generate
button adds a new user with a random username and password (subject to the
settings of the
Options > Generator
page) to the
default
group. Practically, the action of this
button is similar to the action of the relevant (
or
SEL
) button of a thermal printer.
For description of the
Add from file
button, see below.
