Plug-and-play Connectivity - The VSG-1200
V2 is an access server that recognizes new users on
a network and re-routes all the different IP settings
pre-configured on users' computers. By re-routing settings
such as DHCP, DNS, and Proxy, in addition to a static
or private IP, subscribers are able to gain access to
the Internet without changing any settings. The VSG-1200
V2 also provides SMTP server re-direction, which helps
users to send e-mail via the local SMTP server instead
of the predetermined default server.
Secure Protection for Customer Login, Remote Access
and Administration - In today's business environment,
companies increasingly support VPN (Virtual Private
Network) to facilitate secure remote access to local
networks. The VSG-1200 V2 allows VPN ( PPTP, IPsec and
L2TP) traffic pass through, allowing telecommuters and
other personnel to safely access important or confidential
information while traveling. The VSG-1200 V2 allows
secure passing of authentication information through
SSL encryption for both web-based administration and
user login.
Flexible Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
(AAA) - The VSG-1200 V2 supports both RADIUS (Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service) and proprietary
implementation to authenticate, authorize and record
the Internet usage of customers. The RADIUS support
gives service providers an easy way to manage and maintain
a large group of subscribers over the Internet, while
the built-in authentication server allows an administrator
to control and authenticate a subscriber's access rights
based on a login name and password. Internet usage can
be easily charged by pre-defined billing plans (by either
minute, hour, day or other options). With the PMS interface,
the VSG-1200 V2 can easily provide information on the
Internet usage of different customers to the existing
property management system in a hotel application.
Global Roaming Support - Internet mobility
has been greatly increased by subscription to roaming
service offered by AIRPATH, BOINGO, IPASS, GRIC and
others. With built-in RADIUS client, the VSG-1200 V2
exchanges AAA information with service providers' server,
and thus enables global Internet roaming service
Easy Configuration and Management - System
configuration of the VSG-1200 V2 can be saved and exported
to a file that can be used for subsequent re-configuration
or configuration of another VSG. The VSG-1200 V2 supports
port mapping, which allows system administrators to
remotely manage and configure devices with private IP
address. The Web-based management interface of the VSG-1200
V2 offers an easy-to-use platform, independent management,
and configuration options. The VSG-1200 V2 supports
SNMP and MIBs, both of which can be managed via standard-based
management software.
Additional Revenue Generation - The VSG-1200
V2 offers homepage redirection as well as multiple URL-link
redirections for advertising options for service providers,
hotels or property owners. The VSG-1200 V2 allows service
providers or system administrators to create a "walled
garden" where unauthenticated users can be granted free
access to selected links.
