“Captured Portal” Home Page Redirection
The Gateway Controller allows the venue owner to redirect subscribers to a
corporate web site or custom portal with custom branding, login methodology,
billing, terms of service, and more.
Authenticated User Pass-through
After their initial login to validate their account, give subscribers access to the
network without needing to Login each time to their account. This means fewer
lost and forgotten passwords and account names.
Walled Garden
A walled garden provides pages or web sites to subscribers without requiring
authentication. The Controller allows up to 256 destination IP addresses and
URLs.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) Pass-through
The Gateway Controller allows subscribers to access their existing VPN network
at home or at the office. Unlike most public access gateways, the Controller
allows all VPN connections through NAT and multiple connections to the same
VPN server from a single venue.
Login Pass-through by IP or MAC Address
The Gateway Controller allows a list of client computers to access the Internet
without requiring authentication. The Controller allows up to 512 registered
MAC addresses.
Secure HTML Login Page (SSL)
Login Page utilizes SSL to protect username and password during Subscriber
login.
Hardware Heartbeat Monitor
This feature enables the Controller to continue functioning by resetting the
system if the device experiences any problems due to unusual network activity
(e.g. subscriber worms, viruses, or Denial of Service Attacks on the LAN or
WAN).
