Use the enclosed power adapter for power supply of your BW1330. Step 1 Place the Access Controller on a flat work surface. Step 2 Connect one Ethernet patch cable to the LAN port of the Access Controller and to a free hub port on your local network. Step 3 Connect the WAN port of the Access Controller to an Ethernet port of a broadband Internet modem or router.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Initialization This paragraph describes how to access the Web configuration interface of the BW1330. After unpacking and connecting the product for the first time it responds to a dynamic IP address given by the DHCP server on LAN or WLAN interface. The default network settings for your new access controller are: Ixp1(WAN) port: IP 192.168.2.66 subnet 255.255.255.0 Br1 IP 192.168.3.1 subnet 255.255.255.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 figure 9 administrator page Software Introduction: KickStart Another way is launch the KickStart utility that is provided with your product CD. The KickStart is a software utility that is included on the Installation CD. The utility automatically detects access points and access controllers installed on your network, regardless of its host IP address and lets you configure each unit’s IP settings.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 figure 10 kick start utility Step 2 Select your controller and right click.
User’s Guide Step 3 Version 1.0 Enter the Access Controller administrator log on settings to access the web management interface. The default administrator log on settings for all controller interfaces are: User name: admin Password: admin01 Step 4 After successful administrator log on you will see the controller web interface.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Step by Step Setup Step 1. Interface Set-Up In the network interface | configuration |interface configuration menu you can set the TCP/IP settings. br1 is pre-configured as the WLAN port of your Access Controller, ixp1 is the WAN port. By default the bridge interface br1 initially contains two interfaces: wlan1_0 and ixp0. Wlan1_0 is the first virtual AP which you can configure up to 16 virtual AP(16 MBSSID) and ixp0 is the LAN port.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Figure 15 – RADIUS Settings On the second page: network interface | RADIUS | servers you can specify up to 32 different RADIUS servers for authentication and accounting (see Figure 16 – RADIUS Servers). One of the RADIUS server entries can be specified as the default server. Thus, if a user cannot be associated to any specific service provider by his login name, the Access Controller will send authentication and accounting messages to the default RADIUS server.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Figure 17 – Example of a Simple Login Page You have full flexibility to modify and adapt all these pages to your needs and personal designs. For initial set up and testing we recommend you use the default configuration, which will present a simple login window with input fields for user name and password. Enter any start page you like in the user interface | start page menu.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Chapter 3 – Universal Address Translation What is UAT Universal Address Translation (UAT) allows Hotspot operators to offer true IP Plug&Play access for their subscribers. With UAT enabled, the Access Controller will automatically and transparently translate fixed IP settings (IP address, gateway, DNS, proxy server) on a user’s PC enabling him to connect to the broadband Internet service, even if the client’s IP overlaps the IP subnet of the WAN port.

User pages are: Welcome page– the first page presented to the user.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 The login name and password can be obtained from your Hotspot Operator. Login format available for BW1330: username@WISPdomain WISPdomain/username The login page also displays subscriber’s logical and physical network addresses (IP and MAC). Once authenticated, a start page appears. In addition, a smaller logout window (page) pops up. The Hotspot operator can change the login page according to its needs. See more details in section: Changing User Pages.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 MAC Address – subscriber’s physical network address. time length– subscriber’s time length from client log on in format: [hours: minutes: seconds]. Download/upload bytes – subscriber’s session download and upload statistics in bytes. Download/upload bytes left – session download and upload bytes left for subscriber limited from RADIUS [in B, KB, MB, GB and unlimited].
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Changing User Pages As the Hotspot operator you can modify the user pages freely according to your personal needs and preferences. User Page templates can be either stored locally on the AC or on an external web server. Use the user interface | configuration menu to modify user pages. There are two ways to change and store new user page templates: External – linking new user page templates from an external server. Internal – upload new templates to local memory.
User’s Guide Step 4 Version 1.0 Specify the new user page location in the location field (http://servername/filelocation): figure 28 configure external pages Do not try to upload other than supported formats. Such uploaded pages will not be displayed properly. Step 5 Save entered changes with the apply changes button: figure 29 configure external pages Step 6 Check for new uploaded user page (e.g.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Example for Internal Pages We will use the user pages templates from the Installation CD to show the example how to upload the internal pages. Follow the steps below: Step 1 Ensure that internal option is selected for all user pages you want to change.
User’s Guide Step 4 Version 1.0 Click the upload button to upload specified templates and files. You do not need to upload all additional files at once.

User’s Guide Version 1.0 Extended UAM The Extensions feature (user interface | configuration menu) allows an external Web Application Server (WAS) to intercept/take part in the user authentication process externally log on and log off the user as necessary. It provides means to query user session information as well. See the following schemes to understand how the remote client authentication works.
User’s Guide Version 1.0 When the Web Application server has all needed data from the client, it must try to authenticate (6) the client. Authentication is done by the RADIUS server but through the AC. At this step the shared secret is used to make the connection between the WAS and the AC. The AC re-sends the authentication request to the RADIUS server (7). Depending on the status, appropriate authentication status must be returned back to the WAS but through the AC (8).
User’s Guide Version 1.0 Parameters Sent to WAS Parameters that are send to the external server (WAS) using the remote user authentication method (UAM).
