Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your NetComm HS800 Wireless Gateway. This guide covers areas specific to administrators of the Wireless Gateway and will help in you in customizing the device to suit your needs.

The HS800 Wireless Gateway allows you to change the look and feel of the login page that a subscriber will see when logging onto the Internet. You can decide what the welcome message is, if you want a logo on the page, or if you would like the web page split into two frames with the login fields in the bottom frame and a website of your choice in the top frame. You can even code your own login page or redirect the subscriber to a different website address.

Customize what is printed on the receipt issued to subscribers.

You can decide how much to charge people to use the service, and customize a billing profile for each button on the printer that comes with the HS800 Wireless Gateway. You can implement discounts based on button sequences on the HS800 printer.

Decide how you would like your customers to pay for the service - before logging in, or once they have finished using the

Internet.

Decide whether you would like to use the HS800 printer or a printer on your network to print account details. Set expiration times for accounts.

Allow certain machines to access the internet without having to enter a username and password. This is ideal for VIP members.

You can also allow subscribers to access certain websites without having to enter a username and password by listing the website addresses under the Pass Through section.

Advertise specials that your organisation may have, or charge companies to use the HS800 Wireless Gateway for advertisements. The adverts will be pop-ups that appear while a subscriber is surfing the Internet.

Decide which websites you want to restrict access to (e.g.

competitors, X-rated sites, download sites).

This function allows the administrator to allow some special devices to pass through the

HS800 Wireless Gateway system. Some network devices might be connected under the

HS800 Wireless Gateway, but do not need to be checked and authorized for access. The

HS800 Wireless Gateway provides a pass through list that allows the administrator to control which devices can pass through without authentication.

Troubleshooting

4-1 Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to allow accounts generated at one HotSpot site to be used at other locations?

No. However, the HS900 supports RADIUS server authentication allowing roaming accounts.

Are there any AG-100 printer drivers for Windows?

I’m afraid not. The printer has been specifically designed for use with the HS800.

How long can accounts last, and will accounts be erased if the HS800 is powered off?

Accounts last for up to 999 days, and accounts will not be erased if the HS800 is powered off because this data is stored in flash ROM.

My browser has an HTTP Proxy Server setup, do I need to disable it?

No, the HS800 will work with a proxy server setup. However, if you wish to access the Web

Configuration page you will need to disable the proxy server on your web browser.

4-2 HS800 Wireless Gateway – Remote Administration

4-2-1 Connecting to HS800 on Internal LAN (within Office / Site)

Scenario:

The HS800 is connected to a LAN via an Ethernet port as a DHCP client (getting IP,

Gateway and DNS from your DHCP server). Note: you can also set it up with a Static IP if necessary.

You have a connection to the Internet and you can surf using devices that are connected to the LAN side of the HS800 (default IP’s in the 10.0.0.x range)

You would like to specify certain IP addresses that can administer the HS800 from both the

LAN and WAN side.

Login to http://10.0.0.1/ as the administrator and navigate to Advanced Setup / System and scroll down to following section:

Click on Specify

Rev. 1 - YML698

HS800 User’s Guide www.netcomm.com.au

List the IP addresses that will allow people to access HS800 login screen and click the

Apply button. In this example there are three IP’s that are able to access the HS800:

10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3 and 172.16.1.143. The first two are on the LAN side of the HS800 and the last one is on the WAN side of the HS800 (i.e. another PC on your office network)

You cannot browse to 10.0.0.1 from the 172.. machine. You need to find out the IP your

DHCP server has allocated to the HS800. To find this, you click on System Quick View in the bottom left of the screen:

You will see the System Status screen. The section you are concerned with is:

In this example the HS800’s WAN IP is 172.16.1.239. This is the address that 172.16.1.143

will need to browse to.

4-2-2 Connecting to HS800 from External WAN (outside Office / Site)

Scenario:

The HS800 is connected to an xDSL modem via an Ethernet port as a DHCP client (getting

IP, Gateway and DNS from your router/modem (if possible). Note: you can also set it up with a Static IP if necessary.

You have a connection to the Internet via your modem and you can surf using devices that are connected to the LAN side of the HS800 (default IP’s in the 10.0.0.x range)

You would like to specify certain IP addresses that can administer the HS800 both from the

LAN and WAN (outside of office) side.

Login to http://10.0.0.1/ as the administrator and navigate to Advanced Setup / System and scroll down to following section:

Click on Specify

List IP addresses that will allow people to access HS800 login screen and click the Apply button. In this example three IP’s are able to access the HS800: 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3 and

202.44.165.195. The first two are on the LAN side of the HS800 and the last one is the

WAN IP of the other machine (i.e. another PC outside the office network).

To find out the IP if the PC is located on an intranet with an address in the private IP range

(most common case), you can browse to the following address from the remote PC:

http://www.whatismyip.com/

You cannot browse to 10.0.0.1 from the 202.. machine. You need to find out the IP the modem/router/ISP has allocated to the HS800. To find this, you click on System Quick View in the bottom left of the screen:

Appendix A – Cable Connections

This cable information is provided for your reference only. Please ensure you only connect the appropriate cable into the correct socket on either this product or your computer.

If you are unsure about which cable to use or which socket to connect it to, please refer to the hardware installation section in this manual. If you are still not sure about cable connections, please contact a professional computer technician or NetComm for further advice.

RJ-45 Network ports

The HS800 Wireless Gateway RJ-45 Ethernet port can connect to any networking devices that use a standard LAN interface, such as a Hub/Switch Hub or Router. Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable to connect the networking device to the RJ-45 Ethernet port. Depending on the type of connection, 10Mbps or 100Mbps, use the following Ethernet cable, as prescribed.

10Mbps: Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 3, 4 or 5 cable.

100Mbps: Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 5 cable.

Note: To prevent loss of signal, make sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters.

605 to RJ-11 adapter

The 605 to RJ-11 adaptor is provided to comply with the older 610

Telstra wall socket. The 605 to RJ-11 adapter may be used to convert the supplied RJ-11 cable, if the older connection is required.

USB cable

A typical USB cord has an "A" connection (“upstream” to plug into the computer) and a “B” connection (“downstream” to plug into the device).

“B” Connection

“A” Connection

By using different connectors on the upstream and downstream ends, cable connection is simplified. The “B” connection will fit a into the “B” socket of any USB device. Similarly, any "A" connector can be plugged into any "A" socket, such as on a computer.

If it is a new device, the operating system auto-detects it and asks for the driver disk. If the device has already been installed, the computer activates it and starts talking to it. USB devices can be connected and disconnected at any time.

9 Pin (RS-232 ) Serial Cable

A 9 Pin (RS-232) Serial Cable may be used to connect a device to a serial console terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program, such as Hyper Terminal.
