D-Link DSA-5100 4-Port AirSpot Gateway Manual

4-Port AirSpot Gateway
With 2 WAN Ports for Double Internet Bandwidth
The DSA-5100 AirSpot Gateway is a cost-effective device for business and public organizations such as schools, hospitals and
conventions to create a wired or wireless hot spot. This Public/Private Hot Spot Gateway is an Ethernet-based gateway
designed to provide free or fee-based broadband connection to the public users while at the same time providing a separate and
secure private network that shares the same Internet connection. If your business relies on public patronage, you have a way to
give customers access to the Internet, or to networked printers and other resources. If you're a private company that wants to
offer wireless Internet access for your employees, you can do so with the confidence that you're still maintaining a secure
private network that a wireless user will never see. Connect a D-Link wireless access point to the DSA-5100 and you've got a
wireless hot spot. Connect a D-Link switch and your back office computers and printers can share the same broadband
connection.
Double Internet Bandwidth
The DSA-5100 provides 2 WAN ports to double the Internet
connection bandwidth. The WAN ports supports 802.3ad
Link Aggregation industry standard and can be bonded
together into a load-sharing port trunk to eliminate
bottlenecks in heavy Internet access environments. The DSA-
5100 provides bandwidth management tools for you to assign
rational bandwidth usage of the 2 WAN ports.
Total Wireless Management Solution
The DSA-5100 Network Access Control System (NACS)
provides functions beyond the AAA standard. Its 4A
management solution supports not only Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting (AAA), but also
Administration for all wireless (and wired) network users.
The gateway has a built-in database of up to 60 customized
access management rules and up to 2,000 user accounts. The
DSA-5100 can support up to 400 users on-line at any single
moment. The gateway also supports POP3, RADIUS, and
LDAP external authentication for larger-scale hot spot
networks. Other features IP plug and play, user bandwidth
control, network policy enforcement, customizable user
timer, login/logout web-page, online traffic monitoring, and
URL redirection provide a number of different ways for your
organization to configure and manage your hot spot as either
as a free or revenue-generating service.

Comprehensive Network Protection
The DSA-5100 includes a built-in DHCP server and a
built-in high-speed routing engine, an easy-to-use web-
based graphical user interface (GUI) with SSL protection
to securely and quickly configure the device.
Configuration is also capable through the device's RS-232
console port. To prevent unwanted Internet intruders from
accessing your network, the DSA-5100 has a built-in
Security Firewall with Denial of Service (DoS) prevention.

provided by the DSA-5100, users connecting to the hot
spot don't need to re-configure their computer's settings to
send or retrieve e-mail or access the Internet.

Capable of serving hundreds of simultaneous, discrete
users, the DSA-5100 gateway is the perfect system for a
mid-size enterprise and organization to provide a wireless
hot spot. In a matter of just a few minutes, your business
or organization can provide a wired or wireless hot spot
while still maintaining a private network that the public
will never see. Whether you're an enterprise, merchants
association, factory, hospital, school, or public library, the
