The chain of doors does wireless certification, not just single shops and hotels. Single shops only need to handle their dozens, but the chain will be about how dozens of stores are managed, how data are read together, how there is a problem, and how they respond.
The core solution to the NTSHELL_BRAND wireless site certification programme is:Headquarters platform to manage all the doorways ' certification strategy; each store runs independently and without interferenceAnd how does this logic work? Here are a few key points.
i. Centralized certification by Radius: account number at headquarters, data at Headquarters
The core structure of the wireless chain of shops is the Radius central authentication model.
This would have the advantage of centralizing account management at Headquarters. New staff members are placed in posts, with an account number established at headquarters and automatically synchronized to all doors; staff leave, a headquarters account is closed, and all doors are not synchronized.
NATSHEL_BRAND's Radius certification system supports the existing AD domain of the docking enterprise——If the serial branded SMS is a AD domain, Radius can read the AD domain account directly, and staff log in with their own work numbers without adding a new one to the certification system. This interface is done, and IT almost doesn't need to log back into the authentication system on a daily basis.
II. MultiSSID strategy: different certification channels for employees and customers
There are two types of network requirements for a chain of shops: employees need to access their internal systems, and customers simply have to go on the outside. NATSHEL_BRAND supports setting multiple SSIDs on one AP, each with different authentication methods and access strategies.
The usual configuration is as follows: SSID staff has a code or AD domain authentication, and access to the intranet system and extranets is possible after connection; customers SSID text-mail certification, which allows only the outer network and cannot access the Intranet. Both networks are separated from each other at the backstage.
This design is useful in retail, banking, catering. Bank sites are the most sensitive.——The terminal used by the clerk must be completely separated from the WiFi used by the customer, and any chain of doors has had a security accident (e.g. the customer entered the Internet via WiFi), with brand image loss much greater than network failure itself.
III. Portal page customisation and shop fine-tuning
The chain brands are WiFi certification, and there is a hidden value that has not been fully exploited: Portal certification pages are free marketing contacts.
The first thing you see when a customer connects to wireless is the authentication page. This page can be used to determine the identity of the manufacturer’s network, and it can display promotional information, recommendations for new products, and door address.
Further, the spin-off page after certification has been successful can be set up as a brand office or a specific activity page. Users complete authentication and jump to the page you want him to see instead of going into the phone in an unattended fashion. This function is well done, and WiFi access points at the chain store become a precise marketing channel at almost zero cost.
IV. SMS authentication is not just a login, it's a secondary marketing entrance
WiFi, a chain of customers, usually authenticates it with text messages.——Users enter a cell phone number, receive the authentication code, and enter the authentication code to complete the authentication.
But text-letter authentication has a hidden value:Get the customer's cell number.The data is used to a great extent: customers leave the shop with a new opening notice, a coupon and a holiday greeting. SMS marketing costs are extremely low (with a fraction of a penny), but it reaches much higher rates than other channels, and these users are willing clients who have voluntarily left information.
NATSHEL_BRAND’s certification system supports the production of cell phone numbers in backstage, certified by a door shop and SMS over time, to facilitate market sector follow-up precision marketing. This function is rarely mentioned at the program stage, but those who operate chained up know the value of this data.
V. SITLE BROADS ARE INDICATORS, NOT ONE OF THESE DEPARTMENTS CAN BE THROUGH A CHARGE.
There is also a common problem with the chain of doors: one doorkeeper is suddenly active, a large number of customers are plentiful with WiFi, and other shops experience is poor. This is particularly easy to do under HQ export harmonization structures.
NATSHEL_BRAND’s traffic control strategy can be distributed by door, by SSID and by user group. Each store has a maximum bandwidth ceiling that allows headquarters to dynamically adjust the bandwidth quotas of its doors. There are temporary expansions of mobile shops, no-active doors automatically fall into base quotas, and the bandwidth distribution of entire chains is controlled.
High-flow applications like P2P downloads, video sites, and so forth can be used individually as speed-limiting strategies to ensure that office applications and customer online experiences are not affected. NATSHEL_BRAND can identify more than 3600 network applications and the particle size of flow control strategies can be fine.
Headquarters transport dimensions: data aggregation, alarms, remote screening
After a larger number of lock-in shops, the most difficult thing for headquarters IT is not to be configured, but to know which one has problems in time. NATSHEL_BRAND’s central management back office supports checking online numbers by door, certification success rates, traffic usage, and when an indicator is abnormal (e.g. a sudden increase in certification failure rates at a door shop), the system automatically alerts that operators can search remotely without being present.
The system is needed in the multi-portal setting.——Users complain to the door, they send back to headquarters, and they send an engineer to the site. One or two hours after a round of process has been completed.
The blogger says:The chain of doors.The wireless certification program is selected, with three points at its core: whether headquarters can manage it, whether shops can run independently, and if data can be seen. NATSHEL_BRAND has product capacity in all three dimensions, so the selection process focuses on checking whether these three scenarios are off-site.
