Introduction 17
The NSE supports a range of simultaneous user counts depending on the Nomadix
Access Gateway you choose. In addition, various user count upgrades are available
for each of our NSE-powered products that allow you to increase the simultaneous
user count.
External Web Server Mode
The External Web Server (EWS) interface is for customers who want to develop and
use their own content. It allows you to create a “richer” environment than is possible
with your product’s embedded Internal Web Server.
The advantages of using an External Web Server are:
‹
Manage frequently changing content from one location.
‹
Serve different pages depending on site, sub-location (for example, VLAN),
and user.
‹
Take advantage of the comprehensive Nomadix XML API to implement
more complex billing plans.
‹
Recycle existing Web page content for the centrally hosted portal page.
If you choose to use the EWS interface, Nomadix Technical Support can provide you
with sample scripts. See also,
“Contact Information” on page 259 .
Home Page Redirect
The NSE supports a comprehensive HTTP redirect logic that allows network
administrators to define multiple instances to intercept the browser’s request and
replace it with freely configurable URLs.
Portal page redirect enables redirection to a portal page
before
the authentication
process. This means that anyone will get redirected to a Web page to establish an
account, select a service plan, and pay for access. Home Page redirect enables
redirection to a page
after
the authentication process (for example, to welcome a
specific user to the service—after the user has been identified by the authentication
process. See also,
“Portal Page Redirect” on page 21 .
