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.
