Overview:
The TEW-453APB is a 108Mbps high speed 802.11g Hot Spot Wireless Access Point that offers
advanced wireless security, network management, and Power-over-Ethernet capabilities. Wireless
security features include TKIP and AES algorithms for WPA, and also Radius based MAC authentication.
Integration:
The key feature of the TEW-453APB is its Hot Spot or Universal Access Manager (UAM) functionality
that allows AmigoPod to provide the required RADIUS platform for managed temporary Guest accounts.
UAM is intended for use in Internet cafes, Hot Spots, and other sites where the Access Point is used to
provide Internet Access. If enabled, then HTTP (TCP, port 80) connections are checked. (UAM only
works on HTTP connections; all other traffic is ignored.) If the user has not been authenticated, Internet
access is blocked, and the user is re-directed to another web page – in this case the AmigoPod Web
logins facility.
Although the TEW-453APB supports both internal and external authentication, this integration guide will
focus on the later as the internal authentication dictates the use of the internal Login Page resident on
the AP itself. The Login page is very basic and doesn’t allow for significant customization as is possible
with the AmigoPod Web Logins feature.
