3 Managing the D-Link DSA-3200
3.1 Getting Started
This guide will provide information and instruction for administrators of the DSA-3200 Wireless G Public/Private Gateway. This manual corresponds with the version of firmware shipped with the DSA-3200 (v 1.00). From time to time D-Link may release new firmware to add new features or improve on existing ones. These firmware upgrades can be found on the Technical Support Website http://support.dlink.com/. The Support Website also has plenty of great documentation in the way of FAQs and updated manuals, etc. Please take a moment to visit support.dlink.com prior to contacting Technical Support.
3.2 System Concept
The DSA-3200 has the ability to allow or deny access to Network resources based on various types of credentials (IP address, MAC address, or username/password). From a single Broadband Internet connection, the DSA-3200 creates 3 separate networks using NAT, each with its own DHCP server. The WLAN RF interface is an 802.11b/g network that can be configured to either authenticate users or use WPA for enhanced wireless security. The Public LAN interface can be configured to authenticate users so it may serve as a secondary Public access network. The third Private LAN interface does not authenticate users and is intended to service the back office or an existing office network.
Authentication of users is accomplished through any Java enabled Web browser. After a user connects to one of the Public Access networks and attempts to browse the Internet, they will be redirected to a customizable login page hosted on the DSA-3200 without or without SSL encryption. A Walled Garden may be defined to allow users that have not authenticated to access those URLs specified in the Free Surf Zone. Once users authenticate successfully via the Internal Database or an external RADIUS server, the Web browser will once again be redirected to a specified URL. At this point
