System Concept
HS1100 is specially designed for user authentication, authorization and accounting management. The user account
information is stored in the local database or a specified external databases server. The user authentication is
processed via the SSL encrypted web interface. This interface is compatible to most desktop devices and palm
computers. HS1100 manages network services for both wired and wireless network users.
The users located at the managed network will be unable to access network resources without permission. When a
user attempts to connect to the Internet by opening a web browser on his computer, HS1100 will redirect the
browser to the user login webpage of HS1100. The user must enter a username and password for authentication.
After the identity is authenticated successfully, the user will gain proper access right defined on HS1100.
