Hardware Installation
Please follow the steps mentioned below to install the hardware of HSG200:
1. Place the HSG200 at a best location.
The best location for HSG200 is usually at the center of your wireless network.
2. There are two ways to supply power over to HSG200.
(a) Connect the DC power adapter to the HSG200 power socket on the front panel.
Please only use the power adapter supplied with the HSG200 package. Using a different power adapter may damage this system.
(b) HSG200 i s capable of receiving DC current via its WAN PoE port. Connect an
IEEE 802.3af-compliant PSE device, e.g. a PoE-switch, to the WAN port of HSG200 with an Ethernet cable.
3. Connect HSG200 to your outbound network device.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN port of HSG200 on the front panel. Depending on the type of internet service provided by your ISP, connect the other end of the cable to the ATU-Router of an ADSL, a cable modem, a switch or a hub. The WAN LED indicator should be ON to indicate a proper connection.
4. Connect HSG200 to your network device.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN1 port of HSG200 on the front panel. Connect the other end of the cable to a PC for configuring the system. The LAN1 LED indicator should be ON to indicate a proper connection.
Note:
HSG200 has two virtual zones Private and Public which are mapped to LAN1(192.168.1.254) and LAN2(192.168.11.254) respectively.
Now, the hardware installation is completed.
To double verify the wired connection between HSG200 and your switch/router/hub, please check the LED status indication of these network devices.

Step 3. Authentication Settings for Public Zone
For public zone (by default, authentication is enabled), authentication can be enabled
or disabled. Clients shall log in the system before using network service if Auth Required is enabled.
When authentication is enabled, a default authentication server shall be configured. HSG200 supports 4 kinds of authentication servers including Server 1 (LOCAL), Server 2 (RADIUS), Server 3 (RADIUS), and On-demand (ONDEMAND).
By default, the Default Auth Server is ONDEMAND.
Use default or set your desired Postfix, apply a Policy if needed.
A On-demand account can be created from a default billing plan and added to the
database via the Create button. If On-demand account s are not required, click Next to go directly to Step 4. However, it is recommended to create one account in order to verify the system‘s readiness upon completion of this Setup Wizard.

< User Login >
To verify whether the configuration of the new on-demand user account(s) created via the Setup Wizard has been completed successfully:
1. Connect a client device (e.g. laptop, PC) with wireless interface to scan the configured ESSID of HSG200 (e.g. “HSG200-2”) and get associated with this ESSID.
2. The client device will obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP from HSG200. Open a web browser on a client device, access any URL, and then the default User Login Page will appear.
3. Enter the Username and Password of an on-demand account previously generated via Setup Wizard (e.g. “testuser@ondemand” as the Username and “testuser” as the Password); then Click Submit.
The postfix can be omitted only when the default authentication option
Note:
is used. For example, “ONDEMAND” is the default authentication option at this system; therefore, you may enter either “testuser” or “testuser@ondemand” in the Username field.

Deployment Example
< Small Hotspot Network Environment >
Nowadays, wireless network service is common and popular in a hotspot network environment. HSG200 provides wireless network service with authentication required for clients in Public Zone. Wireless clients in the Public Zone and Private Zone are isolated from other wireless clients within the same zone when Station Isolation feature is enabled. Using wireless instead of wired service helps hotspot owners to build network service quickly. HSG200 supports two zones, Private and Public. In the Private Zone, authentication is not required to access the network via wired and wireless. Administrator can access the Web Management Interface (WMI) of HSG200 through the wired LAN port. Waiters or waitresses can send orders back to the electrical menu system via wireless hand set devices. In Public Zone, by default, Authentication Required is enabled, so wired and wireless clients in Public Zone are required to get authenticated successfully before surfing the Internet.
The switches deployed under HSG200 must be Layer 2 switches only.
