NetComm HS800 User manual

How does a hotspot work?
NetComm Wireless Hotspot comes with a built-in
accounting and billing system that allows you to
sell wireless Internet access in blocks of minutes,
hours or days. You set the rate, you sell the time and
you collect the cash.
Paid access time, billing and other user information
are recorded on a receipt, printed from a simple
three-button printer.
This smart piece of equipment has
been designed to ensure fast and
efficient processing of sales. You
don’t have to worry about
calculating costs, just punch the
buttons for the required amount of
access time and out pops the receipt.
How secure is a hotspot?
The NetComm Wireless Hotspot uses in-built
Layer 2 security, which prevents a user from
accessing another users data traffic. Built-in SSL
login provides safe and secure authentication
protection at all times.
What’s more, VPN pass through allows your customers
to securely connect to their own office network.

Fire up your
business with
wireless Internet access
Increase your revenue by providing your customers
with simple and affordable Internet access.
In the time it takes you to make a Flat White, your
customers could be flat out surfing the Internet or
accessing their email. You can make it possible with
a NetComm Wireless Hotspot.
What is a wireless hotspot?
The HS800 Wireless Gateway creates an instant
wireless HotSpot providing Internet connection for
up to 100 users at a time from a single location.
At the heart of the service is a one-box solution that
includes an 11b wireless router, 4-port switch and
service gateway. It takes up about as much space as
a standard telephone.
How will a hotspot benefit my business?
You can create an additional revenue source for
very little cost, selling casual Internet access
to customers who use a wireless Notebook or
handheld PDA.
Even better, you don’t need any special training or
IT skills to manage a NetComm Wireless Hotspot.
Like all great ideas, it’s simple to understand and
easy to manage.
Is the system easy to use?
The NetComm Wireless Hotspot takes advantage
of IP Plug and Play technology, which instantly
recognises a new user and all TCP/IP configurations,
therefore user IP addresses are setup automatically.
Which means your customers do not need to adjust
the settings or alter the configuration of their
wireless Notebook or handheld PDA.
