The installation and setup of IAS-2000 can be easily done without changing the existing network architecture. The
system can be installed and logged within a short amount of time to establish the security mechanism. With the
protection by IAS-2000, users must be authenticated before logging in to the network, and the administrator can
assign a fine-grained priority to each user stratifying the scope and right of using network resources.
Friendly Management and Application Interfaces
IAS-2000 is not only easy to install, but also has multilingual management interface with operation logic that is easy
to use. All of the functions of the system can be performed with a simple few clicks. The full web-based management
interface allows users to operate and manage the system online via a browser. Users can easily log on to the
authenticated LAN ports via the browser without any additional software installation.
Integrating the Existing User Password Database
In general, most organizations use specific database system to centralize and manage user passwords before
introducing the wireless network into the organization. IAS-2000 supports Local, POP3 (+SSL), RADIUS and LDAP
external Public LAN mechanisms, and allows integration of the current user password database. This system also
provides a built-in user database, so that the administrator can create or upload the Public LAN data by a batch
process.

network must be authenticated in order to obtain the right to access the network beyond the managed area. The
authentication mechanism at the user’s end is provided by the IAS-2000 server, and the SSL encryption is used to
protect the webpage. In the system, IAS-2000 is responsible for authentication, authorization, and management
