The following picture provides a simple example of setting up middle to large enterprise network. The DSA-6100 is
set to control a part of the company’s intranet. The whole managed network includes cable network users, and
wireless network users. In the beginning, any user located at the managed network is unable to access the
network resource without permission. If the access right to the network beyond the managed area is required, an
Internet browser such as the Internet Explorer must be opened and a connection to any website must be
performed. When the browser attempts to connect to a website, the DSA-6100 will force the browser to redirect to
the user login webpage. The user must enter the username and password for authentication. After the identity is
authenticated successfully, the user will be granted proper access right as defined in the DSA-6100.
