Getting Started
< System Concept >
The 4ipnet WHG713 Secure WLAN Controller in Gigabit Ethernet with built-in local accounts, On-Demand
accounts, is an ideal security solution for larger-scale WLAN deployments, including WISP, enterprises,
campuses, hotels, airport terminals, and MDUs/MTUs. The WHG713
integrates “secure access control”, “visitor
account provisioning”, “flexible accounting and billing”, and “centralized WLAN management” into one box to
provide simplified manageability and instant mobility. With more powerful hardware, WHG713 is capable of
centrally managing access points to cover a wider service area in a larger network.
Secure Business Networking
WHG713 is suitable for business in managing their wired and wireless network access uniformly. The network
access of users from different departments and the access of guests can be segregated in different Service
Zones. When needed, WHG713
’s Local, Site-to-Site and Remote VPN tunnels can be used to further secure the
information flows for business. Mobile workers on the road or home-based teleworkers can securely access the
office network through remote VPN tunnels.

College Dormitories, Apartments or Hotels Networking
For college dormitories, apa
rtments or hotels who want to cater for their tenants’ Internet access needs, WHG713
makes it easy to manage new tenant registrations and share bandwidth equally among tenants. Also, it is
convenient to set up WHG713 to offer wireless Internet service at large events, such as conventions, trade shows,
and student spring break gatherings.

Telcos or
Wireless ISP (WISP)’s Large Hotspot Deployment
For Telcos or large hotspot operators, WHG713 brings in a convenient and economical way to deploy distributed
hotspot services. While most of the operators prefer to use external RADIUS servers as authentication database,
WHG713 in this architecture can play the role of a central RADIUS-NAS. For quick deployment, WHG713
supports two authentication methods: Web UAM and 802.1X. It is capable of supporting customized web UAM
pages uploaded locally as well as external web UAM pages residing on external web servers. Furthermore, the
concept of Service Zones of WHG713 allows one Controller to manage multiple franchised hotspots
simultaneously.
Hotel with Property Management System (PMS)
For hotels using Property Management System (PMS) such as Micros Fidelio/Opera, WHG713 even enables
Internet access charges to be incorporated into the room bill. Moreover, customers are able to purchase
Internet service in room anytime or at the front counter. With a single account, a hotel guest can log on the
Internet in room through a wired Ethernet port or enjoy wireless access throughout the hotel property. Before
the account expires or the quota purchased reaches its limit, the guest who wants to surf the Internet in his/her
room does not need to retype the password. WHG713 stands for the most cost-effective and easy-to-setup
Internet Access Controller for hotels. Not only can WHG713 manage and bill both wireless and in-room wired
Internet services for properties that have adopted modern IP network infrastructure, but it works for those who
only utilize traditional phone lines coupled with DSLAM and DSL modem equipments to deliver Internet to each
room.

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.xx in your
network and then try it again. For the configuration on PC, please refer to WHG User
