Getting Started

< System Concept >

HSG1250 is designed to provide an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution for hotspot service providers. A single

HSG1250 enables a hotspot provider to service multiple hot-spot franchises in a small area. Furthermore,

HSG1250 introduces the concept of Service Zones - multiple virtual networks, each with its own definable

access control profiles. This is very useful for hotspot owners seeking to provide different customers or staff

with different levels of network services. The system’s built-in on-demand account generation capability is easy

to use by cashiers or receptionists. Each guest account is associated to a price and a usage quota, either by

time or volume.

< Web Management Interface >

4ipnet HSG1250 supports web-based configuration. Upon the completion of hardware installation, HSG1250

can be configured via web browsers with JavaScript enabled such as Internet Explorer version 6.0 and above

or Firefox.

To access the web management interface, connect a PC to any

LAN

Port

, and then launch a browser.

Make sure you have set DHCP in TCP/IP of your PC to get an IP address automatically.

Next, enter the gateway IP address of HSG1250 at the address field. The default gateway IP address

“https://192.168.1.254”

(

“https”

is used for a secured connection).

The administrator login page will appear. Enter

“admin”

, the default username, and

“admin”

, the default

password, in the User Name and Password fields. Click

Enter

to log in.

After a successful login, a System Home page will appear on the screen. From the Home Page, network

administrator can navigate to “Setup Wizard”, “Quick Links”, “System Overview”, and “Main Menu”.

For the first time, if HSG1250 is not using a

trusted SSL certificate

, there will be a

“Certificate Error”

because the browser treats HSG1250 as an illegal website. Please press

“Continue to this website”

continue. The default user login page will then appear in the browser.

If you can’t get the login screen, the reasons may be: (1) The PC is set incorrectly so that the PC can’t
obtain the IP address automatically from the LAN port; (2) The IP address and the default gateway are
not under the same network segment. Please use default IP address such as 192.168.1.xxx in your
PC and then try it again. For the configuration on PC, please refer to

HSG1250 User’s Manual,

< User Login >

To verify whether the configuration of the new local

user account(s) created via the

Setup Wizard

has

been completed successfully:

Connect a client device (e.g. laptop, PC) to any

LAN Port of HSG1250. The device will obtain an

IP address automatically via DHCP.

Open a web browser on a client device, access

any URL, and then the default

User Login Page

will appear.

Enter the

Username

Note:

HSG1250 supports multiple authentication
options including built-in local user database
and external authentication database (e.g.
RADIUS). The system will automatically
identify which authentication option is used
from the full username entered.

The format of a full (valid) username is

userid@postfix

, where

“userid”

is the user

ID and

“postfix”

is the name of the selected

authentication option.

Exception:

The postfix can be omitted only

when the default authentication option is
used. For example,

“LOCAL”

is the default

authentication option at this system;
therefore, you may enter either

“

testuser”

“

testuser@local”

in the

Username

field.

Congratulations!

The Login Success Page will appear after a client

has successfully logged into HSG1250 and has been
