Configuration of the bintec Hotspot gateway

You configure your device using the GUI™ (Graphical User Interface).

Update of the gateway

Your device contains the version of the system software available at the time of production. More recent versions may have since been released. You can easily perform an update with the GUI™ using the Software & Configuration menu.

  1. Go to Maintenance-> Software & Configuration -> Options.

Maintenance -> Software & Configuration -> Options

Proceed as follows:

  1. Under Action select Update system software .

  2. As Source, select Current Software from Update Server .

  3. Click Start to complete the update.

Configure language (reseller / partner)

You can select the language for the start/login page of a reseller / partner in the Local Services -> HotSpot Gateway-> HotSpot Gateway-> New menu.

The language can be changed on the start/login page at any time.

Local Services -> HotSpot Gateway -> HotSpot Gateway -> New

Set time zone

You need the system time for tasks such as correct time-stamps for system messages, or accounting. For this, go to the following menu:

  1. Go to System Management -> Global Settings -> Date and Time.

System Management -> Global Settings -> Date and Time

Note

If a method for automatically deriving the time is defined on the device, the values obtained in this way automatically have higher priority. A manually entered system time is therefore overwritten.

Proceed as follows to configure the time zone settings:

  1. In the Time Zone field, select Europe/Berlin . To guarantee a synchronous system time, a current system time is required for operation.

  2. Disable ISDN Timeserver.

  3. Deactivate Internal Time Server. Time requests from a client are not answered.

  4. Confirm with OK.

Disabling of local communication

If a Wireless LAN Controller manages several access points or if you use a stand-alone access point, you can prevent communication of hotspot users registered at the same access point among each other.

If you operate a Wireless LAN Controller, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to Wireless LAN Controller->Slave AP configuration->Wireless Networks (VSS)->

    Wireless LAN Controller->Slave AP configuration->Wireless Networks (VSS)->

  2. Disable Intra-cell Repeating.

  3. Confirm with OK.

If you operate a stand-alone-device in access point mode (Wireless LAN -> WLAN -> Radio Settings -> -> Operation Mode = Access Point ), you can set up and edit the desired wireless networks in the Wireless LAN -> WLAN -> Wireless Networks (VSS) -> New menu.

In the following procedure, local communication between individual hotspot users registered at a stand-alone access point is prevented.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Go to Wireless LAN -> WLAN -> Wireless Networks (VSS) -> .

    Wireless LAN -> WLAN -> Wireless Networks (VSS) ->

  2. Disable Intra-cell Repeating.

  3. Confirm with OK.

  10. Confirm with OK.

To configure the second entry, go again to the menu:

  1. Go to System Management -> Remote Authentication -> RADIUS -> New.

Proceed as follows:
