PLANET ISG-101 Internet Subscriber Gateway
1 Introduction
The Internet Subscriber Gateway ISG-101 is deployed in a broadband service network for
high-speed access the Internet. The Internet Subscriber Gateway can immediately recognize
new users on the network (and remember returning users) and redirect their browser to a
proprietary Web page. That is to say, user needn’t change their network configuration to
access the Internet, just plug and play.
The product is a freestanding or rack-mounted unit with two Ethernet ports (WAN and LAN), a
serial port for system management and administration. After the initial setup and network
configuration is established, the product is easily managed by a network administrator through
a Web management interface or the onboard serial port.
1-1 Feature
Plug and Play-Support All Network Configurations
The ISG-101 provides instant Internet access by using your own notebook PC without the
hassle of configuration setting. This innovative sophisticated design enables instant
Internet access wherever traveling may take you. Easy to use plug-and-play access to
broadband networks.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
The Internet Subscriber Gateway supports RADIUS client. RADIUS enables ISPs to
maintain a very large central database of users (potentially in the millions).
Proprietary Authentication Server
The Internet Subscriber Gateway provides proprietary authentication server which is
allowed administer to control user’s login name and password.
Remote Configuration
The administrator can access this system by using web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This system allows a remote user to view and/or
modify system configuration via Internet.
Advertisement URL link
ISP could specify the advertisement URL link. The advertisement Web page will show on
the browser when the subscribers start Network access.
1-2 Precautions
 Never remove or open the cover. You may suffer serious injury if you touch these parts.
 The ISG-101 is powered from 100/240 VAC. A standard IEC connector is used for the
power cable.

Software Specifications
Address Translate Function
This function can accommodate all network configuration, including DHCP, DNS, proxies
and dynamic and static IP address assignments. That is, whenever a subscriber login, the
ISG-101 automatically translates their computer’s network settings to provide them with
seamless access to the broadband network. Subscribers no longer need to alter their
computer network configuration settings.
Email Redirection
The ISG-101 will rewrite subscriber’s original message of E-mail according to SMTP rules
and sent it out via the specified Email server. This function could help subscribers to send
E-mail via the local E-mail server when their default Email server is out of work.
DNS Redirection
The DNS Redirection function would provide local DNS server when subscriber’s
configured DNS server is behind a firewall or located on a private intranet.
Home Page Redirection
The ISG-101 enables solutions providers to redirect subscribers to a portal web site of their
choice. This allows the solution provider to generate online advertising revenues and increase
business exposure.
DHCP Function
The Internet Subscriber Gateway will follow RFC2131 that is designed to supply dynamic IP
addresses.
RADIUS Client
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) Attribute Support reduces costs and
improves services levels by enabling service providers to easily manage and maintain a very
large central database of subscribers.
Internal User Account Management
The Internet Subscriber Gateway contains a user account database. And when the
subscriber starts to access the Internet, the ISG-101 will send a Web page to ask checking
user’s ID and password.
Virtual Server
Enables administrator to expose WWW, FTP and other services on your LAN to be
accessible to Internet users under the NAT Network.
Support VPN (Virtual Private Network)
The ISG-101 can allow subscriber to create VPN networks using the Internet as the medium
for transporting data.
Customize Subscriber Login in page
For different market, ISG-101 allow administrator to set customize login page for the
subscribers. The advance pattern includes welcome notes, company logo, page color, article,
comments and information items.
