Scalable, Easy-to-Manage User Authentication and Accounting

With an easy-configuration authentication server embedded in the G-4100 v2, no additional hardware or

software are required for hotspot operators such as coffee shops, book stores, hotels or resorts to offer

Internet services. The G-4100 v2 also supports RADIUS server for large-scale hotspot service deployments

in chain stores or airport terminals to provide roaming service from one spot to another through

centralized authentication and accounting features.

Best Hotspot User Experience with Security and Privacy

To provide the best hotspot user experience, the G-4100 v2 features rich networking functions such as IP

PnP, DHCP server, NAT, MAC address and IP address filtering. The IP PnP technology enables the ultimate

“zero configuration” user experience by taking care of the IP networking transparently, which dramatically

improves user satisfaction and reduces technical support needs. User no longer needs to change the IP

address, subnet mask, default gateway, Web proxy and even SMTP server settings. Moreover, V-LAN security

for wired and wireless client, NAT, Layer 2 isolation, as well as MAC and IP address filtering technologies also

work behind the scene to ensure protected user privacy, keeping sensitive personal data from being

exposed to the public.

Tailor-Made Hotspot Gateway

With powerful marketing features built into the G-4100 v2, operators can customize the login page, redirect

user to advertisement links, or provide limited Internet access to the designated home page. Additionally,

powerful management features such as SSL login page, secure remote function, LAN and WLAN device

management are all specifically designed for hotspot offerings. For easy deployment, the G-4100 v2

support PoE and the PoE-capable SP-200E statement printer, so the hotspot solution can be freely placed

regardless of the power outlet location. The G-4100 v2 is not only a gateway tailor-made for hotspot

deployments, but also customizable to fit business and service needs.
