AP-2500 Authentication Methods

•

You can enter a single World Wide Web address (such as 

www.yahoo.com

) or you can enter Domain Names 

(such as 

*.yahoo.com

). Entering the Domain Name provides users will full access to the specified Domain’s 

Web sites. For example, if you enter 

www.yahoo.com

 in the DNS Passthrough Table, customers will not be 

able to access sites such as 

http://finance.yahoo.com 

as part of the walled garden.

26. If you plan to limit subscriber bandwidth or offer multiple access plans based on bandwidth speeds, click the 

Bandwidth Mgmt

 tab to notify the AP of its bandwidth settings.

•

These parameters correspond to the AP’s connection to the Ethernet and the Internet. Based on these 
settings, the AP determines the speed of its Internet connection. The AP uses this information when making 
bandwidth allocations to subscribers.

•

Do not set uplink or downlink speed to 0; this will disable access to the unit over the Ethernet.

•

The upper limit for uplink or downlink speed is 100,000 Kbps (100 Mbps). This is the maximum speed at which 
the AP can connect to the Ethernet network. In reality, the uplink and downlink speeds will depend upon the 
speed of your hotspot’s Internet connection (for example, T1 or DSL) and the speed of the wireless cards 
installed in the AP (up to 54 Mbps if using 802.11a).

•

By default, Bandwidth Management is enabled and uplink and downlink speeds are set to 1500 Kbps.

27. If you want to redirect outgoing e-mail traffic to your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server, click the 

SMTP

 

tab and configure the SMTP Redirection settings. See 

SMTP Redirection

.

•

Most SMTP servers only transmit e-mail messages that originate from local traffic to prevent illegal use of a 
mail server by spammers, hackers, and other unauthorized individuals. Therefore, most of your subscribers 
will be unable to send email messages unless you enable SMTP Redirection.

•

When SMTP Redirection is enabled, all outgoing mail traffic is redirected to the SMTP server you specify in 
the 

SMTP Server IP

 field (this field is based on IP address and not DNS name). This will allow subscribers to 

send emails without changing any of the server settings in their email program. Typically, this will be your local 
mail server (if you have one) or your ISP’s mail server.

•

If you want all outgoing mail traffic redirected to the specified server, enable both the 

Misconfigured

 and 

Properly Configured

 options. 

Misconfigured

 refers to subscribers whose e-mail settings are incompatible 

with the AP-2500’s Internet settings (in other words, these email settings may work on the subscriber’s home 
or office network but they won’t work in the hotspot); 

Properly Configured

 refers to subscribers whose email 

settings should work on the hotspot network so you do not necessarily need to redirect these messages to 
your own server. If you want properly configured subscribers to send mail without being redirected, enable 
only the 

Misconfigured

 option. In general, Proxim recommends that you enable both options. Also, you 

should never enable 

Properly Configured

 and disable 

Misconfigured

 (this combination defeats the purpose 

of SMTP Redirection).

28. If you want to redirect the user to a specified URL following successful authentication, click 

HPR

 and configure the 

Home Page Redirection options. See 

Home Page Redirection (HPR)

 for details.

•

If you are using a Portal Page, review 

Portal Page

 before configuring the Home Page Redirection options.

29. If you want a customized banner applet to appear on subscriber’s browser screens, click 

ICC

 and configure the 

Information and Control Console options. See 

Information and Control Console (ICC)

 for details, caveats, and 

customization instructions.
•

The ICC is a pop-up window that is pushed to your customer’s Web browsers. It displays information about the 
user’s connection (such as access time remaining) and allows your customer to dynamically change 
subscription plans. You can also customize the ICC’s banners and buttons to promote partner Web sites.

30. If you want to block subscribers from accessing certain Web sites, click 

URLFilter

 and configure the URL Filtering 

options. See 

URL Filtering

 for details.

31. Click the 

Subscriber

 button.

32. Click the 

Billing

 tab and configure the 

Internal Billing Options

. See 

Billing Options for Subscribers

 for details.

•

You can design up to six billing plans; the Internal Billing Options apply to all six plans. For example, if you 
configure 

Units of Access

 to Hour, all six plans must be offered on a per-hour basis.

33. Click the 

Plan

 tabs to define the billing plans that will be available to your customers. You can configure up to six 

plans based on price of service, bandwidth allowed, access time, and IP address type (private or public). See 

Billing Options for Subscribers

 and 

DHCP Server Configuration Options

 for more information. 

34. Click the 

Mirroring

 tab if you want to have copies of credit card transactions sent to external servers. See 

Credit 

Card Mirroring

 for details.

35. Click the 

Messages

 tab to customize the messages and screens that are presented to the customer including the 

Login page (

Login Msgs

), general subscriber messages (

Sub Msgs

), and error messages (

Error Msgs

). See 

Subscriber Messages

 for details.
