3. System Overview 3.1. System Concept If you have experienced other LevelOne WLAN WHG Controller products before and are familiar with its system concept, you may skip the concept description below. Please proceed to the next section on (Getting Started). WHG Controller is capable of managing user authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA). The user account information is stored in the local database or a specified external database server.
Administrator/Manager manually. External Authentication Database is a user account database that is not built inside WHG Controller. Besides Local database and On-demand database, WHG Controller allows up to three additional External Authentication databases simultaneously. The types of external Authentication databases supported are RADIUS, POP3, LDAP (including Active Directory), and NTDomain (Win2K’s NTDS). The database of another WHG Controller device can be used as an external RADIUS database.
‘Policy’, which can be chosen to bound the network behaviors of a Group. The administrator can define the Firewall Profile, Route Profile, Schedule Profile and Max Sessions in a Policy. The following Figure depicts an example relationship of Service Zone, Group and Policy. In this example, Students and faculties logging into Service Zone 1 will be governed by Policy-A. Guests only have the access of Service Zone 3, and will be bounded by Policy-C.

3.2. Service Zone Concept LevelOne Service Zones are virtual machines that has its’ own network interface, DHCP server, authentication configuration, user pages as well as security and user policy settings. By associating a unique VLAN Tag and SSID with a Service Zone, administrators can separate wired network and wireless network into different logical networks isolated from one another.
Multi subnet network environment On the other hand, if the internal network is a Multi subnets network environment, Tag-Based model will satisfy to your conditions. In Tag-Based mode, each LAN port will serve traffics from different Service Zones; a VLAN switch or VLAN AP is required to take care of the VLAN tags carried within the message frames. An example of network application diagram is shown as below: more than two Service Zones for different departments.
3.3. AP Management Concept AP Management feature is designed not only for internal network AP deployment, but also overlay deployment at remote locations over the cloud. WHG Controllers can manage from 30 to 500 LevelOne Access Points depending on model. For overlay AP deployment, WHG Controllers establish a secure tunnel between the managed AP and Controller. Certain AP models with additional Ethernet ports can also provide wired network service.
4. Getting Started 4.1. Accessing Web Management Interface When you have completed the hardware installation of your WHG Controller, system configurations can be performed via built-in Web Management Interface (WMI). Step 1. Connect your PC to any of the LAN ports of your WHG Controller. Step 2. Set the TCP/IP settings on your PC to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Step 3. Launch a web browser and enter the WHG Controller’s default LAN IP address “192.168.1.254”.
After a successful login, a Home Page will appear on the screen. For the first time, if WHG Controller is not using a trusted SSL certificate, there will be a “Certificate Error”, because the browser treats WHG Controller as an illegal website. Please press “Continue to this website” to continue. The default user login page will then appear in the browser.
4.2.Home Page Home page lists four buttons Setup Wizard, Quick Links, System Overview and Main Menu respectively. Each button will be described in detail in the following section.
4.2.1. Setup Wizard Using the configuration wizard Configuration wizard provides a fast and easy way to configure the WHG Controller’s system time, change Administrator password, WAN interfaces, as well as local user accounts. Follow the instructions given at each step to change the system admin password, select time zone, configure WAN1 interface, and create local user account (optional). Upon completing the Setup Wizard procedures, the system needs to be restarted to have the settings take effect.
4.2.2. Quick Links The Quick Links provide eight shortcut links for administrators to directly access frequently used functions of the web management interface. The eight functional links are: System Status, Local User Management, Policy Management, AP Management, Online User List, On-demand Account Management, Authentication Configuration and Firmware Management.
4.2.3. System Overview This page displays important system related information that the administrator might need to be aware of at a glance, which includes General System settings, Network Interface and Online Users etc. A drop-down menu is available for selecting the information refresh rate for this page.
4.2.4. Main Menu This feature leads to all the detailed configuration pages on the Web Management Interface, allowing you to set various networking parameters, enable and customize network services, manage user accounts and monitor user status. Administration functions are separated into 6 categories: System, Users, Access Points, Network, Utilities and Status.
4.2.5. Online Help The Help button is at the upper right corner of the WHG Controller display screen. Click Help for the Online Help window, and then click the hyperlink of the relevant information required.
5. Initial Network Setup 5.1. Network Requirement Typically, in a network environment, WHG Controller plays the role of a gateway. On a gateway device, a network port leading upstream to the Internet or the backbone network is called a ‘WAN port’ or an uplink port, while a network port used for branching out to the service the clients downstream is referred as ‘LAN port’. WHG Controller consists of two WAN ports, which are normally linked up to different routers or modems leading to ISP.
5.3. WAN1 & WAN2 Setup WHG Controllers are designed with 2 WAN ports for load balancing and failover support. To configure WAN port settings, go to Main Menu > System > WAN1 / WAN2. WAN1 WAN1 port supports four connection types: Static, Dynamic, PPPoE and PPTP. These connection types are enough to support most ISP. Depending on ISP or the upstream device the WAN port connects, you only need to select one connection type for the port.
1492 bytes. In that case, you have to enter a smaller number MTU number to meet the ISP’s networking requirement. Clamp MSS: Short for Maximum Segment Size for a TCP connection. An end-to-end TCP connection over PPPoE will consume additional overhead out of each packet. At least 40 bytes are used for the address. Hence, MSS must be smaller than MTU by at least 40. Dial on demand function under PPPoE. If this function is enabled, a Maximum Idle Time will be available for input a value.
Learn DNS Server Address During Negotiation: When this check box is selected, the Controller will automatically learn the IP address of DNS server through DHCP messages received. Preferred DNS Server: Statically designate the primary DNS server to be used by the system. Alternate DNS Server: The substitute DNS server used by the system. This is an optional field. PPPoE: If your ISP provides PPPoE Dialup connection, then the ISP will issue you an account with a password.
When both WAN1 and WAN2 are properly configured with uplink to the internet, WAN failover and Load Balancing feature becomes available. Load Balancing: Administrator can spread the system traffic across WAN1 and WAN2 ports based on percentage load, calculated using session, bytes, or packets. WAN Failover: Once enabled, whenever WAN1 is down, WAN2 will service the traffics originally handled by WAN1 until WAN1 link is up again and vice versa.
In Port-Based mode each LAN port can be mapped to an enabled Service Zone or disabled, this means the maximum number of Service Zones available to provide service is determined by the number of LAN ports on the Controller. Trusted Port: When a LAN port is selected, clients under this port will not require authentication regardless of the settings in the corresponding Service Zone profile this LAN port maps to. In Tag-Based mode, Service Zones are mapped to VLAN tags.
Select the mode for Isolation: When enabled, network traffic will be isolated by VLAN tag, which means that inter-VLAN devices are segregated from each other. Please note that this check option is not available for WHG-311 and WHG-315 and are always enabled.
5.6. LAN Partition -- Service Zone Configure Service Zone; go to: System >> Service Zones. A Service Zone is a logical network area to cover certain wired and wireless networks in an organization such as SMB or branch offices. By associating a unique VLAN Tag and SSID with a Service Zone, administrators can separate wired network and wireless network into different logical zones.
Default Authen Option: Default authentication method/server that is used within the Service Zone. IP Address: The IPv4 address of this service zone interface. IPv6 Address: The IPv6 address of this service zone interface. Network Alias: Administrator may optionally set many alias network segments for a service zone.
5.6.1. Planning Your Internal Network Simple network environment For most simple internal network, such as there are just only two subnets. Using Port-Based model is an easy and better way. In Port-Based mode, each LAN port can only serve traffic from one Service Zone. An example of network application diagram is shown as below: one Service Zone for Employees and one for Guests. The switches deployed under WHG Controller in Port-Based mode must be Layer 2 switches only.
5.6.2. Configure Service Zone Network Configure Service Zone; go to: System >> Service Zones >> Service Zone Configuration. Router Mode NAT Mode Service Zone Status: Each service zone can be enabled or disabled except for the default service zone. Service Zone Name: The name of service zone could be input here. Network Interface: o VLAN Tag (Tag Base Only): The VLAN tag number that is mapped to the Service Zone.
o IPv6 Settings: The IPv6 Address and configuration of this service zone (When IPv6 enabled). o Network Alias List: Administrator may optionally set many alias network segments for a service zone. This feature can allow a single service zone to be seen as many service zones, also hide the IP address of a Service Zone’s network interface and to some degree, provide protection from possible attacks from LAN clients. Click the Configure button to enter the Network Alias List page.
Item Description DHCP Server 1 Start IP Address / End IP A range of IP addresses that built-in DHCP server will assign to clients. Note: please Address change the Management IP Address List accordingly (at System Configuration >> System Information >> Management IP Address List) to permit the administrator to access the WHG CONTROLLER admin page after the default IP address of the network interface is changed. Preferred DNS Server The primary DNS server that is used by this Service Zone.
The administrator can reserve a list of specific IP addresses for special device with certain MAC address. Fill a set of IP address and MAC address as reserve, additional information can be entered in the Description field. Click Apply to activate your settings. DHCP Lease Protection: When “Enabled”, whenever the Service Zone’s built-in DHCP server receives a DHCP request, it will automatically bind the MAC address with an IP address permanently.
5.6.3. WISPr Attributes in Service Zone WISPr or Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming - Pronounced "whisper," WISPr is a draft protocol submitted to the Wi-Fi Alliance that allows users to roam between wireless internet service providers, in a fashion similar to that used to allow cell phone users to roam between carriers. A RADIUS server is used to authenticate the subscriber's credentials. To configure WISPr attributes in Service Zone, go to: System >> Service Zones >> WISPr Configuration.
5.7.IPv6 Configure Service Zone; go to: System >> IPv6. System implements IPv6 feature and supports operating in IPv6 networking environment. When IPv6 is enabled, administrator may assign IPv4 IP address as well as IPv6 address to each interface such as WAN1, WAN2, Default Service Zone, Service Zone1, etc. Status: Enable or Disable the use of IPv6 addressing standard. External Interface: Select the external interface of the device that will be configured with an IPv6 address.
6to4: 6to4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6, a system that allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an IPv4 network (generally the IPv4 internet) without the need to configure explicit tunnels. 6to4 option can only be chosen when the selected WAN interface was set with a static IPv4 address. Mode: Select Automatic if you do not have a specified default router, or choose Configured to assign a default router to forward packet from IPv6 network to IPv4 network.
6. User Authentication and Grouping 6.1. • Overview of User Authentication Database Built-in User Databases Local and On-demand are Controller’s built-in user databases designed to house static and temporary accounts respectively. Local database is ideal for storing long term accounts for instance employee accounts while On-demand database is ideal for generating temporary accounts for guest usage.
Go to Main Menu > Users > Authentication Click on the server name to set the configuration for that particular server. After completing and clicking Apply to save the settings. Then go back to System > Service Zones and enable or disable any server in each service zone as you prefer. For each Service Zone, one of the authentication servers can be set as default, users can log into the default authentication server without the postfix to allow faster login process.
6.1.1. Configuring On-demand The administrator can enable and configure this authentication method to create on-demand user accounts. This function is designed for hotspot owners to provide temporary users with free or paid wireless Internet access in the hotspot environment. Major functions include accounts creation, users monitoring list, billing plan and external payment gateway support. 1) General Settings This is the common setting for the On-demand User authentication option.
system only; never get online and no need to go through authentication. NetTicketGen is an example of terminal server that is required to be configured here before it can operate with Controller. Expired Account Keep Days: When an Ondemand account expires, it will remain on the ondemand account list for a certain amount of time. The number of days to retain an expired ondemand account can be specified here.
Receipt Header: There are 3 receipt headers supported by the system. The entered content will be printed on the receipt. These headers are optional. Receipt Footer: The entered content will be printed on the receipt. This footer is optional. Background Image: You can choose to customize the ticket by uploading your own background image for the ticket, or choose the default image or none. Click Browse to select the image file and then click upload.
network. Price: The unit price of the respective billing plan. Enable: Check the checkbox to activate the plan. Deactivated billing plans cannot be used to generate ondemand guest accounts. Quick Account Creation: Check the checkbox to enable Quick Account Creation. Static users with “Ondemand Account Privilege” (an attribute in Group profile) enabled can see “Quick Account Creation” checked billing plans and can generate ondemand accounts.
o Usage-time with No Expiration Time: Can access internet as long as account has remaining quota (usable time). Need to activate the purchased account within a given time period by logging in for the first time. Ideal for short term usage. For example in coffee shops, airport terminals etc. Only deducts quota while using. Account expires only when quota depleted. Quota is the total period of time (xx days yy hrs zz mins), during which On-demand users are allowed to access the network.
Hotel Cut-off-time: Hotel Cut-off-time is the clock time (normally check-out time) at which the on-demand account is cut off (made expired) by the system on the following day or many days later. On the account creation UI of this plan, operator can enter a Unit value which is the number of days to Cut-off-time according to customer stay time. For example: Unit = 2 days, Cut-off Time = 13:00 then account will expire on 13:00 two days later.
o Volume: Can access internet as long as account valid with remaining quota (traffic volume). Account expires when Valid Period has been used up or quota depleted. Ideal for small quantity applications such as sending/receiving mail, transferring a file etc. Count down of Valid Period is continuous regardless of logging in or out. Quota is the total Mbytes (1~1000000), during which On-demand users are allowed to access the network.
o Duration-time with Elapsed Time: Account activated upon the account creation time. Count down begins immediately after account created and is continuous regardless of logging in or out. Account expires once the Elapsed Time has been reached. Ideal for providing internet service immediately after account creation throughout a specific period of time. Begin Time is the time that the account will be activated for use. It is set to account creation time.
o Duration-time with Cut-off Time: Cut-off Time is the clock time at which the on-demand account is cut off (made expired) by the system on that day. For example a shopping mall closing hour is 23:00; operators selling on-demand tickets can create use this plan to create ticket set to be Cut-off on 23:00. If an account of this kind is created after the Cut-off Time, the account will automatically expire. Begin Time is the time that the account will be activated for use.
o Duration-time with Begin-and End Time: Define explicitly the Begin Time and End Time of the account. Count down begins immediately after account activation and expires when the End Time has been reached. Ideal for providing internet service throughout a specific period of time. For example during exhibition events or large conventions such as Computex where each registered participant will get an internet account valid from 8:00 AM Jun 1 to 5:00 PM Jun 5 created in batch like coupons.
5) External Payment Gateway This section is for merchants to set up an external payment gateway to accept payments in order to provide wireless access service to end customers who wish to pay for the service on-line. The four options are Authorize.Net, PayPal, SecurePay, WorldPay and Disable.
6) On-demand Account Creation After at least one plan is enabled, the administrator can generate on-demand user accounts here. Click on the Create button of the desired plan and an on-demand user account will be created. After the account is created, you can print the ticket with all of the necessary on-demand user’s information, including the username and password. If no Billing plan is enabled, accounts cannot be created by clicking Create button.
Network operator can also choose to create ondemand accounts in batch. Simply specify the number of account to be generated and click “Create” at the bottom of the page. The created accounts can be exported as a txt file or printed via pre-configures POS printer 7) On-demand Account List All created On-demand accounts are listed and related information is also provided. Search: Enter a keyword of a username, or reference, to be searched in the text filed and click this button to perform the search.
o Online: the account is currently in use. o Expired: the account is not valid any more, even there is remaining quota to be used. o Out of Quota: the account has exceeded the quota limit. o Redeemed: the account has been applied for account renewal. Delete All: This will delete all ondemand accounts at once. Delete: This will delete the users individually.
Redeem On-demand Accounts For Time and Volume accounts, if they are almost out of quota, they can use redeem function to extend their quota. After the user has get, or buy, a new account, they just need to click the Redeem button in the login success page, input the new account Name and Password and then click Enter. This new account’s quota will be extended to the original account.
6.1.2. Configuring RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for computers to connect and use a network service. Choose “RADIUS” from the Authentication Database field. The Local VPN option can be enabled or disabled for the entire Authentication Database.

Transparent Login: This function refers to Windows NT Domain single sign-on. When Transparent Login is enabled, clients will log into the system automatically after they have logged into the NT domain, which means that clients only need to log in once. o Enable Local VPN: Check the checkbox to enable local VPN under transparent login mode.
The system provides SIP proxy for SIP clients (devices or soft clients) pass through NAT. After enable SIP proxy server, all SIP traffic can pass through NAT with a selective but fixed WAN interface. If the SIP Registrar settings in SIP client is same as the system setting, when the client try to access the SIP Registrar, system will let this client login automatically and all SIP traffic can pass through. Configure Dynamic Domain Name Service, go to: Users >> Authentication >> SIP.
The system provides SIP proxy functionality, which allows SIP clients to pass through NAT. When enabled, all SIP traffic can pass through NAT via a fixed WAN interface. The policy route setting of SIP Authentication must be configured carefully because it must cooperate with the fixed WAN interface for SIP authentication. SIP Transparent Proxy can be activated in both NAT and Router mode. SIP Authentication must support in either mode.
A warning message can be customized at Main Menu > System > General page which will be displayed on the web browser of newly connected users when a Service Zone’s authentication is under the Suspend status. The purpose of this feature is to prevent further loading to this Service Zone when network administrator needs to make changes to the Service Zone configurations.
6.2. Users Group Group profiles are used to divide users based on role. A Group profile can be designated for differentiating a group of users with similar statuses e.g. Student, Staff, Guest, etc.; Network administrator can determine which Service Zones are accessible to a certain Group as well as the Policy that will govern the user.
6.2.1. Assign users to a Group Configure Group settings; go to: Users >> Group. This section shows how to group users, how to rule each grouped user with different policy as he moves to different service zone. The following examples will help you better understand this section.
In this example, Group 1 users are allowed to access the internet in 5 places; Service Zone 0,1,4,6, and 8. They must follow policy 1 at Service Zone 1, 6 and 8. They are ruled by Policy 3 at Service Zone 1 and by Policy 8 at Service Zone 4. In each authentication option, you can assign a Group with each authentication option. All users login with same authentication server will belong to same Group.
6.2.2. Permission in Service Zone Configure Group settings; go to: User Authentication >> Group. A Group can be allowed to access one Service Zone or multiple Service Zones. Moreover, a Group can be applied different Policies within different Service Zones. Remote VPN is considered as a zone, where clients log into the system via remote VPN. Zone Name: The name of Service Zones and Remote VPN. Enabled: Select Enabled to allow clients of this Group to log into the selected Service Zones.
At Service Zone 1, Group 1 user is ruled by Policy 3. Group 2 is by Policy 9 and Group 3 is by Policy 11. Other Groups are not enabled to access Service Zone 1.
o Group Option: The name of Group options available for selection. o Enabled: Select Enabled to allow clients of the enabled Groups to log in to this Service Zone under constraints of the selected Policies. Check Enabled of each individual Group to assign it to the Service Zone listed. o Policy: Select a Policy that the Group will be applied with when accessing this Service Zone.
