Iv. Operational Solutions
The broadband access server is located in the hotel to the ISP leased Ethernet interface, it is connected to the hotel's original local area network. Externally connected broadband metropolitan area network. Its most important function is to complete the user's authentication, billing. The broadband Access Gateway is able to record the time each customer passes through gateways (accurate to seconds) and the number of bytes flowing through (in kilobytes), which can be routed through the gateway interface to the billing server for fee handling. Through its unique processing methods, the information flow and user needs can be real-time, interactive and effective control capabilities. According to the user's authentication, give different application authorization and billing methods, and real-time monitoring the flow of information all the process, notify the user of the use of resources and status, according to the user's authorization attributes to maintain or disconnect the user's connection.
In addition to the network authentication charge function, the product supports many extension functions including:
1 Router function: Broadband network access must need routers, broadband access server can replace the router. It has a network address forwarding (NAT) feature that can dynamically or statically forward multiple private IP addresses to a public network IP address, which is especially suitable for operators who usually provide only one public network address to the hotel. The Access gateway also has Dynamic host address assignment (DHCP) function, which can dynamically set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server address for the connected computer, thus eliminating the hassle of setting IP parameters for the guest.
2 firewall function: To prevent outside hackers to the hotel's broadband system attacks.
3 Security isolation function: To prevent confidential documents stolen between guest and guest.
4 Site Browsing Restrictions: Some of the Web site browsing restrictions.
5 Remote management function: Make the operator of the hotel or ISP do not have to carry on equipment maintenance and setting on the edge of the equipment.
Our Broadband Access gateway is a pure hardware device that provides up to 512 concurrent user connections. The interface with backbone network is very simple, Plug and Play, can be installed within 24 hours, put into use.

1) account opening (authorize)
2) certification (AUTHENTICATE)
3) Collection and monitoring (Accounting & Supervising)
4) Statistics and audit
5) Billing Output
6) System Management

VI. Remote Summary Server
The remote rollup server loads the carrier-level server software and places it in the ISP's central room; the Internet standard AAA Protocol--radius protocol is used to remotely capture the users ' network usage in hotels, and the detailed online information is summarized. So that the two sides can be divided into cooperation.
The system provides the statistician application software, the statistician software uses in the database inquiry, the statistic work, for the operator counts the daily user login, the access, the use and the payment and so on data, helps the operator to analyze the user the usage habit, the network traffic, visits the website and so on the information.
