Gateway IP
In most cases, this field is blank.
Normally the Public IP of
the Controller will be provided to the CAS automatically. If the
Controller is behind another NAT firewall, you can use this field
to override this and provide the IP Address of the Firewall here.
Configure the NAT Firewall on your router to forward port 1111
to the Controller to enable Hampton Inn HSIA Authentication
through NAT.
Automatic Authentication
If you do not wish to control subscriber access to Internet, select
Automatic
Authentication
. In this configuration, subscribers will still need to initiate a HTTP
request by opening their web browser in order to be passed through the firewall. This
process is transparent to the subscriber. If subscribers ping or send email before
requesting a web page these requests will not go through. In effect, these subscribers
are still authenticated for the purposes of logging and tracking usage, blocking
banned subscribers, and so forth. Subscribers can still be redirected to a landing
page.
PMS Based Authentication
Select this feature to enable PMS Based Authentication. This feature allows guests
at a hotel to receive a local authentication account on check in to the hotel. Currently
Galaxy 2-way HSIA 1.0 and Micros FIAS 2.20 are supported. Billing amounts and
access profiles can be defined for 5 service tiers. You can use these tiers to sell
access for longer time, or with more bandwidth. These tiers are automatically listed
on the internal login page with the entered name and description so the user can
select the service they wish to pay for. Tiers can be free (0 charge).
