2 2 System Overview and Getting
Started
2.1 Introduction of WIAS-3200N
The WIAS-3200N is the most economical and feature rich Wireless Hotspot Gateway,
targeting mini-size stores that want to provide small, single-point wireless Internet access
service. WIAS-3200N is a perfect choice for beginners to run hotspot businesses. It does
not cost much compared to buying a pile of equipments, nor does it take the skills of an
expert to glue multiple applications out of multiple freeware. Feature-packed for hotspot
operation, WIAS-3200N comes with built-in 802.11 n/b/g MIMO access point, web
server and web pages for clients to login, easy logo-loading for branding a hotspot
store, simple user/visitor account management tool, payment plans, multiple credit
card gateways, traffic logs, IP sharing and etc. WIAS-3200N also brings in an extra
advantage - the wall-mountable, dust-proof (IP50) metal housing.
2.2 System Concept
WIAS-3200N is capable of managing user authentication, authorization and accounting.
The user account information is stored in the local database or a specified external
RADIUS database server. Featured with user authentication and integrated with external
payment gateway, WIAS-3200N allows users to easily pay the fee and enjoy the Internet
service using credit cards through a variety of payment gateways including Authorize.Net,
PayPal, SecurePay, and WorldPay. Furthermore, WIAS-3200N introduces the concept of
Zones – Private Zone and Public Zone, each with its own definable access control profiles.
Private Zone means clients are not required to be authenticated before using the network
service. On the other hand, clients in Public Zone are required to get authentication before
using the network service. This is very useful for hotspot owners seeking to deploy wireless
network service for clients and manage the network as well. The following diagram is an
example of WIAS-3200N set to manage the Internet and network access services at a
hotspot venue.

3.1 Network Requirement
In the general network environment, the main role of WIAS-3200N is a gateway that
manages all the network access from internal network to Internet. Thus, the first step is to
prepare an Internet connection from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and connect it to
the WAN port of WIAS-3200N.
3.2 Configure WAN Port
There are 3 connection types for the WAN Port: Static, Dynamic and PPPoE. These
connection types are enough to support most ISP.
Now, let us discuss how to configure WAN port. Go to: Main Menu >> System >> WAN
Configuration.
The parameters related to each connection method are described in the following section:
3.2.1 Static IP
Static: Manually specifying the IP address of the WAN Port. The fields with red asterisks
are mandatory.
zIP Address: The IP address of the WAN port.
zSubnet Mask: The subnet mask of the WAN port.
zDefault Gateway: The gateway of the WAN port.
zPreferred DNS Server: The primary DNS Server of the system.
zAlternate DNS Server: The substitute DNS Server of the system. This is an
optional field.

on the access control profile of that Zone, such as authentication, security feature, wireless
encryption method, traffic control, and etc.
There are two Zones that can be utilized by WIAS-3200N – Private Zone and Public Zone,
as shown in the table below. Private Zone means clients are not required to be
authenticated before using the network service. On the other hand, clients in Public Zone
are required to get authentication before using the network service.
yName: Mnemonic name of the Zone.
yESSID: The SSID that is associated with the Zone.
yWireless Security: Data encryption method for wireless networks within the Zone.
yDefault Authen Option: Default authentication method/server that is used within the
Zone.
