Both types of certification are charged, but experience, deployment difficulties, maintenance costs are completely different.
The article makes it clear that the difference between PPpoE and Portal in the apartment scene is how the integrated firm and party A are chosen to not step on the pit.
I. PPOE and Portal, first of all, explain what it is.
The tenant enters an account code on the computer or cell phone, dials the Internet like a traditional broadband.
The tenant will automatically eject a login page to enter an account password or mobile phone number authentication.
Both ways can be achieved:
- Time, monthly and traffic counts
- Tenant account management, batch opening, billing reconciliation
- Authentication failure log, online status query
However, the deployment patterns of both modes, the tenant experience and maintenance costs are completely different.
II. PPOE ' s strengths and weaknesses in the apartment scene
Affirmation 1: Tenant experience is more"It's like home broadband."
The tenant is familiar with the experience, as is the case with home broadband.
Suitable for tenant type:
- Long-term tenant, month or season
- Staff accommodation, tenants' customary broadband dial.
- The school itself recommends a PPoE.
Accomplishment 2: Prevent account sharing from being more effective
If the tenant uses the account number next door, both sides kick each other off.
Portal certified that an account number could be multiple and online, and that the tenant would have a more convenient number of accounts to the detriment of the operator.
Accomplishment 3: Compatibility is good and old equipment can be used
The tenant uses the equipment five years ago, and does not fail.
W-I: The mobile end experience is bad
The phone is dialed by a PPOE, and you need to have a client or manual configuration."Why aren't you online?"。
Defect 2: Change switch configuration at deployment
PPOE requires a switch to support the PPOPE relay or an extra configuration of VLAN. The IPC is not familiar, it can't be adjusted for half the day.
Shortcoming 3: Operational difficulties when tenants change their jobs frequently
The new tenants come in and the operators have to call PPOE from one room to another, which is a huge workload.
III. ADVANCES AND WRONGS OF Portal IN THE CONTEMPORARY PLACE SHOW
Affirmation 1: Good move-end experience
The tenant can access the Internet by ejecting a phone or computer directly to the login page after you have access to WiFi.
Suitable for tenant type:
- Rented apartments, short-term tenants, tenant self-operated
- Young tenants, customary web site certification
- Tenant equipment is available in a variety of types, mobile phones, tablets and notebooks.
Affect 2: Deployment is flexible and no changes to network architecture are required
Portal certification can be added directly to the existing WiFi network, with a certified server attached.
Accomplishment 3: more accessible self-service for tenants
Portal certification can be combined with self-service registration and a fee for the continuation of the service.
D.1: Account sharing is easier
Portal supports a multi-facilities account online.
Disadvantage 2: Need for tenants to cooperate
If the tenant does not automatically eject a login page, the tenant will call the operator to complain if the web is broken.
Disadvantage 3: Poor compatibility of older equipment
Some old devices do not support Portal page popups, or the HTTPS page is blocked by a browser. The tenant uses the device five years ago, and certification fails.
How can an integrated firm recommend A?
The integrated firm cannot be recommended at all costs and is judged on the basis of the situation on the A side.
Factor 1: Tenant type and mobility
The number of long-term tenants is small, and the PPOE is more suitable.
The rental flats, temporary tenants, the tenant’s own Portal certification and the operator’s small workload.
Factor 2: Do I have a self-help service requirement on the first side?
Portal is more appropriate if you want to register the tenant for self-service, and to pay for it.
The operator will be more appropriate if the first party wants the tenant to be managed by the operator.
Factor 3: Existing network architecture
If the original network structure in A already supports PPOE relays, the integrated agent does not need to be reconfigured and direct access to PPPoE is least costly.
If the original network was covered by a pure WiFi, without the PPPOE-related configurations, the integrated operator would be more costly to transform the network structure than direct Portal.
V. CLIMATION OF CASES IN ACTIVITY PROJECTS
Case 1: Staff dormitory has chosen PPOPE
The tenants are company employees."It's like home broadband."。
PPoE was recommended by the integrator because:
- Employees are used to broadband dialing.
- Tenant is a little mobile. It's a long time to be configured.
- Prevent account sharing from being more efficient
After implementation, staff feel familiar with the experience and rarely complain.
Case 2: Rented apartment chose Portal
The first party wishes to reduce the front desk workload and allow tenants to register themselves.
The integrated firm recommended Portal because:
- The tenant can verify Portal himself, and the operator doesn't have to transfer equipment from room to room.
- It can be combined with self-service registration, and a continuation function.
- The tenant has a lot of equipment, and the phone tablet notebooks are needed.
After implementation, the tenant then pops up his own login page after WiFi."The login didn't pop out.", require operator remote guidance.
Are there two ways of living together?
Some ask: Can you support both? Wireding PPoE, wireless Portal.
Technically, but two things to note:
-
The same system of billing supports both authentication methods and the functional integrity is confirmed when selected
-
The rules for both methods are consistent."Why is my colleague using wire a price? I use wireless a price another price."
What are the circumstances that fit into two ways of living together?
- A network with cable access and WiFi coverage.
- Tenant types are complex, some used to PPoE, and others used to Portal.
- Integrating agents have a strong technical capability to adjust deployments in both ways
VII. INTEGRATION COORDINATION PROPOSALS FOR A.
In the discussions between the integrator and the A side, ask with these three words:
-
Is the tenant type longer or shorter? Is it more liquid?
-
Does the operator need a self-service service? Is the tenant registered for a renewal or is it managed by the operator?
-
What are the existing network structures? Are there PPOPE-related configurations?
Asking these three points clearly, the integrated firm will be able to judge whether PPOPE is more suitable or Portal is better, or that both are compatible.
If A is still hesitant, the IRC may recommend:
(b) Short-term tenants are large, mobile and Portal is preferred;
The long-term rental apartment network billing system, PPoE and Portal are both available but experience and deployment are completely different.
The integrated vendor option asks three things: type of tenant, self-service needs, and existing network architecture. Clear questions, later complaint rates can be reduced by a half. Both approaches can coexist, but with confirmation of fee system support and harmonization of billing rules.
