Introduction

AM-5000 CenOS5.0 System Access Controller is designed for applications in which a compact, cost-effective” all-in-one” networking solution is required. AM-5000 included 4 Ethernet Port, AP controller in a desktop-mount enclosure. This device centralized configuration and management model enables the controllers to be deployed, monitored, and controlled without local IT staff. The AM-5000 is a full-featured Wireless LAN Giga Ethernet security controller that aggregates up to 500 access points (APs), built-in 5000 local accounts /5000 on-demand accounts and delivers centralized control and security for wireless deployments.

AM-5000 system applies to public access network such as WiFi-Hotspot, network management guest access, hospitality deployments – which require reliability, efficiency, and security. One single AM-5000 can serve up to 500 unit access point, takes control over authentication, authorization to the Internet as well as to the operating central. Built-in AAA Radius server, AAA RADIUS Server combines WiFi-Hotspot authentication contain single ticket / Pregenerated ticket / RADIUS account and remote LDAP(AD) Server authentication, simply match CenOS 5.0 AP and enable RADIUS authentication.

Centralized Access Points Management

Through AM-5000 system, all CERIO’s Managed Access Points are managed through a unified Web interface. Make sure all Managed Access Points are under good conditions. It is a simple task to keep the firmware of Managed Access Points up to date. The device management is especially important for a wide area deployment.

Wireless and Wired Access Controller System

Multiple Authentication Methods and Accounting

CERIO’s AM-5000 Wireless Controller system Built-in AAA Radius Base Controller Combined with CERIO’s CenOS 5.0 Captive Portal Authentication Solution provides a perfect high-performance environment for wired/or wireless authentication, authorization, and accounting networks..

 

 

Hotspot technology allows Internet providers to offer Internet access to customers, while applying certain Internet use rules and limitation. It is convenient for Internet cafes, hotels, airports, schools and universities. The Internet provider gets complete tracking records of per customer time spent on the network, data amount sent/ received, real-time accounting and more..

To begin browsing, a client must go through a registration process with the provider, then enter a Passcode of access ticket in a browser Login window that appears on the attempt to open a webpage. Hotspot technology proposes providers to establish and administrate a user database, which can be useful for enterprise such as airports, hotels or universities that offer wireless or Ethernet Internet connectivity to employees, students, guests or other groups of users.

Zero Configuration for Users

AM-5000 makes Internet access very easy and user-friendly. Users will be redirected to the provider’s welcome page automatically regardless of their PC configuration. The IP Plug and Play feature will accept and translate fixed company IP settings and web proxy configurations, so that users do not have to reset their corporate IP or web settings. Outgoing users e-mails can be redirected to the operator’s mail server in order to facilitate to e-mail forwarding for foreign subscribers. The recipient sees the messages as it was sent from the users’ home provider.
