The Subscriber Interface 209
The following illustration shows the functional relationship between the Access Gateway’s internal modules
and the external support systems.
The Authentication module is responsible for ensuring that when subscribers log in to the system they are
correctly identified. It can identify subscribers in many different ways. For example:

Based on their hardware (MAC) address.

By validating their user name and password.
 By looking up subscribers on a local (flash) database.

By looking up subscribers on a remote database.
The Authentication module can support user name and MAC address authentication
simultaneously.
The initial login page can be presented in various ways, depending on the system’s configuration. The Access
Gateway supports any of the following methods and tools:
 Internal and external Web pages.
 External “portal” page for redirection.

User name and MAC-based logins (simultaneous or stand-alone).

User-selectable options and parameters (for example, defining the time purchased).
 Interaction with a Property Management System (PMS) and Web interfaces enabling administrators
to edit the subscriber’s input.
