Preventing mutual visibility of extensions

In a LAN or WLAN, all extensions at the IP level are connected to each other. This must naturally be prevented in a Hotspot system.

Hotspot with a single WLAN access point

Here, only one bintec RS353xw™ is employed as HotSpot gateway. All users are exclusively logged in over WLAN. Wired LAN is not used. Internet access is provided via a local network or ADSL.

Hotspot with a single WLAN access point

To prevent internal communication between Hotspot users (WLAN clients), in the menu Wireless LAN -> WLAN -> Radio Settings -> , the parameter Intra-cell Repeating must be disabled.

Hotspot with multiple WLAN access points

Here, several WLAN access points connected over LAN with the bintec RS353xw™ gateway are employed. Internet access is provided via a local network or ADSL.

Hotspot with multiple WLAN access points

To prevent visibility between Hotspot users (WLAN clients) for all WLAN workstations in the menu Wireless LAN -> WLAN -> Radio Settings -> , the parameter Intra-cell Repeating must be disabled. Further, a specific VLAN must be created for each WLAN access point to prevent internal communication between extensions logged into the various access points.

Hot Spot with Ethernet LAN clients

Here, several Hotspot users are connected to the Hotspot gateway over a LAN. Internet access is provided via a local network or ADSL.

Hotspot with Ethernet LAN client

A Hotspot user's PC is connected to a VLAN-capable switch. Here, each physical port of the switch has its own VLAN.
