Dated Tested: 10 April 2007
AmigoPod Version: EngineÆ0.99.35, Radius ServicesÆ0.6.10
Plugins Required: Standard build only
Trendnet Version: 2.0 Release 39
Integration: HTTP Captive Portal
Overview:
The TEW-453APB is a 108Mbps high speed 802.11g Hot Spot Wireless Access Point that offers
advanced wireless security, network management, and Power-over-Ethernet capabilities. Wireless
security features include TKIP and AES algorithms for WPA, and also Radius based MAC authentication.
Integration:
The key feature of the TEW-453APB is its Hot Spot or Universal Access Manager (UAM) functionality
that allows AmigoPod to provide the required RADIUS platform for managed temporary Guest accounts.
UAM is intended for use in Internet cafes, Hot Spots, and other sites where the Access Point is used to
provide Internet Access. If enabled, then HTTP (TCP, port 80) connections are checked. (UAM only
works on HTTP connections; all other traffic is ignored.) If the user has not been authenticated, Internet
access is blocked, and the user is re-directed to another web page – in this case the AmigoPod Web
logins facility.
Although the TEW-453APB supports both internal and external authentication, this integration guide will
focus on the later as the internal authentication dictates the use of the internal Login Page resident on
the AP itself. The Login page is very basic and doesn’t allow for significant customization as is possible
with the AmigoPod Web Logins feature.

Step 1:
By default the TEW-453APB has an IP address of 192.168.0.228. Please follow the Trendnet User Guide
to gain configuration control of the AP and set the basic IP Addressing to match your networking
environment. Given the RADIUS interaction we strongly recommend the use of a Fixed IP address
setting that is available through the web interface.
Note: Fixed IP Address ______________________ This will be required for a later step.

Step 2:
Now that a fixed IP Address has been defined the Trendnet AP, this needs to be defined within the
AmigoPod configuration. Typically, the AmigoPod software is installed on an appliance or server with a
fixed IP Address and potentially a locally defined host name. Referring back to your initial installation of
the AmigoPod solution, open a web browser and enter either the IP Address or host name defined during
the installation. You should be presented with a login screen similar to the one below:
Enter your username and password. The default AmigoPod username is admin and the password is
amigopod.

AmigoPod Home Page where the RADIUS Services section can be accessed. Click on RADIUS
Services on the screen shown below:

Being a new install, there are currently no NAS entries defined. Click on the Create icon at the top of the
page shown below:

Step 6:
Fill out the details of the Create NAS form based on the IP Addressing details defined for the Trendnet
AP in Step 1. Leave the default Other NAS entry for the NAS Type and define a shared secret that will be
configured both here in the AmigoPod and also in the Trendnet in future steps. Once complete click on
the Create NAS Device button.
Note: NAS Shared Secret _______________________ This will be required at a later step.

Step 7:
Once the NAS has been created, the RADIUS Server needs to be restarted for the changes to take
affect. This can be seen from the warning message shown at the top of the screen and the button below
should be clicked to initiate a restart of the RADIUS services.
Once the RADIUS services have restarted the next step is to create the customized Web Login pages
that the wireless users will be presented with when they attempt to login to the network. Under the
RADIUS Services menu of the left, select the Web Logins menu option to continue onto the next step.

Step 9:
Complete the following Web Login form based on your local deployment to ensure the correct
descriptions and HTML customization is configured in both the Header and Footer section to match the
brand and messaging of the wireless service being offered. Particular attention needs to be paid to the
following fields to ensure a clean integration with the Trendnet AP:
