System Administration 67
5.
Enable or disable the
Usernames
feature, as required (refer to table above).
Some subscribers may want additional account flexibility and security for their services
(for example, if they use more than one computer and their MAC address changes, or if
they move between port-locations). In this case, a subscriber can define a unique user
name and password which they can use from any machine or location (without being re-
charged). Subscribers who choose this option are prompted for their user name and
password whenever they try to access the Internet. Solution providers can charge a fee for
this service.
6.
Enable or disable the
New Subscribers
feature (refer to table above).
7.
If you enabled New Subscribers, enable or disable the
Relogin After Timeout
option.
8.
You can now enable or disable the
Credit Card Service
. When this feature is enabled,
subscribers are prompted for their credit card information (for billing purposes). The AG
5500 is configured to use either
Authorize.net or Chainfusion (selected from a pull-down
menu). You will need to open a merchant account with Authorize.net , Chainfusion or
Datacenter (Luxembourg) before this feature can be used.
Please contact Nomadix Technical Support for assistance. Refer to “Contact Information”
on page 305 .
9.
If you enabled the Credit Card Service , define which service you require (
Authorize.net
or Chainfusion ) from the pull-down menu.
GIS stands for Generic Interface Specification, a document written by iPass.
Enabling the Smart Client option in the AG 5500 automatically supports all GIS
compliant clients using the Internal Web Server. Enabling “Support for GIS
Clients” under the Portal Page feature means that the AG 5500 will defer the
managment of the GIS clients to the Portal Page server.
New Subscribers must be enabled before enabling the Credit Card and PMS
options.
All data communications between the AG 5500 and the credit card server are
encrypted by the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. The AG 5500 never “sees”
subscriber credit card numbers. Your product license key must support this
feature.
DNS must be configured if you want to enter meaningful URLs instead of numeric
IP addresses into any of the AG 5500’s configuration screens (for example, the
Credit Card Server URL in the following step).
