1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Wh
ether you are “operating a wireless hotspot service for generating revenue” or “providing
free but controlled wireless internet access to guests”, it would be handy to both the
operators and the wireless users if the account information (such as username, password,
SSID and etc.) can be readily output to POS printers and printed out as account tickets.
DS-100 v2 is designed specifically to operate in conjunction with specific Controllers
/Gateways. Typical serial POS printers on the market today may or may not be
IP network ready, and it is not practical to integrate each brand one-by-one with Controllers
/Gateways. Hence, it has specifically designed a smart device server – DS-100 v2, for two
purposes:
1. Attaching before a serial POS printer so that one or more POS printers can be
connected to a Controller/Gateway via IP networks.
1
AirLive DS-100 v2 User’s Manual
1. Introduction
2. Pre-integrated with the Controller/Gateway so that account generation becomes quick
and easy to the operator, simply by a push of buttons on the device.
It provides DS-100 v2 and a POS printer as a combo set called Network Ticket Generator.
The followings are typical application scenarios:
A small business who wishes to quickly set up a wireless service hotspot for charged
Internet service may purchase a Gateway, and a Network Ticket Generators set. The
Gateway alone serves as an AP and a gateway, Network Ticket Generator enables the
registration operator to generate and issue accounts via push buttons on the DS-100 v2
and hand out the account ticket printed out by POS printer.
A corporate has several sites. Deployed at the reception area of each site are with a
DS-100 v2 and a POS printer. Guests who need wireless connection to the internet simply
need to request the receptionist and obtain a slip with account information. The guest
account will automatically expire after the pre-configured time.
A hotel has a Controller/Gateway and multiple APs within its hospitality areas. Multiple sets
of Network Ticket Generator are distributed at the service desks and lounge counters. The
service clerks are able to create accounts for their guests with charged or free internet
service depending on the hotel’s service model.
Below are two network diagrams examples using Network Ticket Generator combo set.

(2) One Gateway with multiple Network Ticket-Generator sets.

*N
ote:
The POS printer has an individual manual, therefore, its configuration details is not covered
in this guide.
Though DS-100 v2 is specifically designed to for on-demand account generation and
operate POS printers, it can also be deployed independently to connect other RS232
devices to an Ethernet network for remote operation. If you will be deploying DS-100 v2
independently to manage other serial devices, please carefully set the Serial Settings in
DS-100 v2 to match the operating needs of your serial device.
*Note:
If you connect other serial device to DS-100 v2 and are unable to remotely operate your
connected serial device, please check that:
The settings under Serial Settings of DS-100 v2 are configured to match your serial device
operating requirements.
If your serial device application operates on pure serial communication then you need to
setup a COM port redirector.

The DS-100 v2 can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying
problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find
possible solutions. Please refer to Chapter 2.3.1 for detailed information.
If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a
problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after running
for a while check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If
you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.
Q4: Troubleshoot of cabling
A4:
R
J-45 ports: It uses unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable
for RJ-45.
Connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100Ω
Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any
twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Gigabit port should
use Cat-5 or cat-5e cable for 1000Mbps connections. The length does not exceed 100
meters.
RS-232 Serial port: a common type of electrical connector used particularly in
computers.
They are among the largest common connectors used with computers. The one side of
cable connecting to DS-100 v2 should be DB-9 Female plug, the other side depends on

Two type of STB connectors were used,
2-pole and 3-pole.
Loosen the screw on top of the STB-male
connector (Fig.1)

e network glossary contains explanation or information about common terms used in
wireless networking products. Some of information in this glossary might be outdated,
please use with caution.
100Base-TX
Also known as 802.3u. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Fast Ethernet 100Mbps
using Cat.5 UTP/STP cable. The 100Base-TX standard is backward compatible with the
10Mbps 10-BaseT standard.
DHCP
Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol. A protocol that enables a server to dynamically
assign IP addresses. When DHCP is used, whenever a computer logs onto the network, it
automatically gets an IP address assigned by DHCP server. A DHCP server can either be a
designed PC on the network or another network device, such as a router.
Firmware
The program that runs inside embedded device such as AP or Switch. Many network
devices are firmware upgradeable through web interface or utility program.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. A standard protocol for sending files between computer over a
TCP/IP network and the internet.
IP Address
IP (Internet Protocol) is a Layer 3 network protocol that is the basis of all Internet
communication. An IP address is 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of
information that is sent across the Internet. An IP address has two parts: an identifier of a
particular network on the Internet and an identifier of the particular device (which can be a
server or a workstation) within that network. The new IPv6 specification supports 128-bit IP
address format.
Packet
A unit of data sent over a network.
Subnet Mask
An address code mask that determines the size of the network. An IP subnet are
determined by performing a BIT-wise AND operation between the IP address and the
subnet mask. By changing the subnet mask, you can change the scope and size of a
network.

TFTP
Trivial File transfer Protocol. A file transfer protocol, with the functionality of a very basic
form of FTP. It is used to transfer small amounts of data between hosts on a network, such
as Switch firmware.
