More Information

The HS960 allows full customisation of the client login/logout page, with the ability to add logos, text or even a redirection to another webpage. Customisation is also available on the content that prints on the print-out ticket. The walled garden feature offers up to 10 web sites that can be viewed without the requirement to pay.

The HS960 Wireless Hotspot enables any business (café, restaurant, hotel, airport etc) to set up a hotspot location anywhere and provide a Internet connection for up to100 users at a time.

The one-box solution is easy to set up and manage. It includes an 802.11g+ (54Mbps)

wireless router, 4 port 10/100 switch, three button printer and a service gateway.

You can provide internet access by time, offering a zero configuration experience for the end customer. By simply pressing one button on the printer for the required amount of

access time, a receipt is generated which provides a unique username and password for the amount of time purchased. Several network security protocols are provided in the NetComm HS960 to fully secure your wireless communications, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), WEP, SSL configuration page, SSL client login page, VLAN security on LAN ports and Layer 2 Isolation security. Without a username and password customers can not

access broadband, and with layer 2 security your users will not be able to see each other.

Frequently Ask Questions

1. Do I need to be aligned with a particular ISP to use the this Wireless Gateway?

No. The settings allow you to choose any ISP and to update the settings as necessary.

2. Can I measure and bill by bandwidth usage?

This Gateway bills by time usage. However, you can control bandwidth for users logged on via the advance setup menu.

3. Can I use another printer instead of the thermal printer supplied?

Yes it can be connected to another network printer, either wirelessly or via the LAN port at the back of the unit.

4. Can my logo be printed on the receipt produced by the thermal printer?

The thermal printer is designed to print text only. If you wish to have your logo on the receipt, we recommend that you use your own network printer.

5. Can users still use the internet if the thermal printer runs out of paper?

Yes. Accounts can be generated using a web browser.

6. What do I do if I am in the middle of printing a receipt when the paper runs out?

If you are in the middle of printing a receipt when the paper runs out, simply switch to generating accounts via your web browser.

7. Can I use the gateway with a dial-up connection?

The gateway can be used with a dial-up connection, however, for performance reasons, we recommend using it with a broadband account.

8. Can I issue a user name and password that can be used for more than one Gateway E.G. Hotspot café A and Café B?

All user names and passwords are location specific and are not transferable.

9. Can users VPN into their office network ?

You can VPN into your office network provided you already have a VPN client (software/hardware) installed on your computer and your office network has a VPN server configured to allow remote users to access the network.

10. Can I schedule free time for my customers with the device, E.G. 5 minutes free on Monday morning at 9 am?

YES. The best way to achieve this is to set the pricing value for one button at X min/hours for zero dollars (where X is the number of minutes you wish to supply as free-time).

11. Can my users complete their download if their time runs out mid session?

Once the session has ended, the downloading session is disconnected.  However, the user can replenish their session time using the replenish button in the information window (http://1.1.1.1/info.html). The Gateway will warn the user before their time runs out and notify them when their time has expired.

12. Can I restrict bandwidth to users logged on to the my gateway ?

You can restrict bandwidth to users logged on to the device via the advance setup menu.

13. Can Gateway usage information (i.e. account generation, system reboot, billing, accounting, etc)  be sent directly to an email address?

The Gateway usage information can be sent directly to a specified email address, provided your network either has an SMTP server (mail server) or ISP has an SMTP server to process the email sent to you.

14. Can BlueWolf remotely log in and administer the Gateway, E.G. via the Internet from their office?

Yes we can remotely log in and administer the gateway, as long as your ADSL modem has been set up to allow pass through to the Gateway (port forwarding) or you have registered a unique URL with a DNS service .

17. How far can the Gateway be from the thermal printer?

The Gateway can be up to 100 metres away from the thermal printer when using a serial cable (a RJ11 to DB25). A five metre serial cable is supplied.

18. How do I administer the gateway from my office LAN via the WAN port?

A) Identify the WAN IP address of the Gateway (via Gateway System Quick View).

B) Use your web browser to connect to this address.

C) Log in to the administrator’s page with your username and password when the dialogue box pops up.
