CHAPTER 4

Initial Setup Example

This chapter shows you how to configure the VSG for Internet access and user login.

4.1 Overview

As an Internet cafe owner, you want to set up the VSG in the store and provide Internet service to customers. You have already signed up for Internet access from your local ISP and a DSL modem is installed for Internet connection.

In-store Internet access is provided with a fee. You want to charge $5 per hour for Internet access and allow customers to purchase up to 15 hours at a time. You create 10 customer accounts and store them on the VSG which checks the account information before Internet access is allowed.
