The campus network is an information infrastructure for higher education institutions, which students, teachers and administrators use every day."It works when you connect to it.": Large user size, many identity types, high security requirements and many schools want to earn some income from network operations to build up their nursing. To integrate these needs, a system that recognizes users, controls access, and accurately charges them, is the campus network NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING. It's between users and web resources, it's a campus network."Free and open."Heading"Operational regulation"The core of the chain.
What are the components of the Authentication & Billing system?
A complete campus network, Authentication & Billing, usually consisting of certification portals, authentication servers, billing engines, strategy management and operating platforms. The certification portal is a login page that students see after they have been connected to the campus network, collecting information such as coding numbers, passwords, authentication codes, etc., which are suitable for different screens on mobile phones and computers; the authentication server is responsible for verifying the legitimacy of identity and feeding results back into access devices; the costing engine is calculated in real time based on the user’s meal set and usage, supporting multiple costing methods such as running over hours, flow-based meals and meals; The strategy management is based on user-specific rules for control of bandwidth, duration and access rights; the operating platform undertakes daily operations such as opening accounts, package configuration, fees, statistical analysis and log queries.
What's the difference between it and normal campus network certification?
Normal campus network certification only."Can you get it online?"The campus network Authentication & Billing adds to the certification capacity: how long students spend, how many traffics, what package they belong to, and how much they charge, and the system can accurately record and calculate. At the same time, it also sends different strategies based on user identification and type of package, such as open-flowing for month-on-month users, speeding down or disconnecting a network by volume."Certification + Billing + Strategy"The integrated capacity is not available in the general certification system and is the basis for fee-for-service operation of the campus network.
Why the campus network needs Authentication & Billing
The construction and maintenance of the campus network requires continuous investment, with costs for equipment acquisition, bandwidth leasing, daily transportation. If it is completely free, not only will it be difficult for operators to sustain their input, but also management problems: students download large amounts of bandwidth, account sharing leads to waste of resources, security incidents cannot be traced back to people. The campus network NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING system allows schools to identify each user, control every access, record every behaviour, calculate each cost, both protect the web resources and meet the management requirements of real name Internet and log retention, while generating operating income through reasonable fees."I'm using the net."The NTSHELL_AUTH_BILLING system is an indispensable tool for the management of campus network operations.
Deployment model and docking capability
At the deployment level, the campus network Authentication & Billing supports side-by-side deployments, local deployments and distributions. The selection of existing network structures may not necessarily be made depending on school size and network status. At the interface level, the system is connected to mainstream producers ' AC, BRAS, routers and switches through standard protocols such as RADIFUS, with a more flexible choice of access equipment. On identity matching, the system can be docked with a campus ' s cartoon, engineering, uniform identification platform, and the existing school account number system can be used to enable students to complete their certification without having to build an additional account number. The flexibility of deployment and docking is key to the system’s ability to match existing campus networks. It needs to be explained that a cartoon at different schools and an SAS manufacturer are different, interfaces open and interface conditions need to be confirmed before switching to them, which cannot be assumed to be automatic."We'll be able to connect with the system."。
Applying scenes and selection points
The campus network Authentication & Billing application covers student dormitories, teaching areas, office areas, libraries and public school areas. User needs vary from region to region: the boarding area is dominated by students accessing the Internet at their own expense, requiring billing and package management; the teaching and office areas are dominated by teachers and administrators, usually free of charge but require identification and access control; libraries and public areas may need temporary visits and visitor management. It should be recalled that the actual carrying capacity of the system (e.g., number of certifications per second published in product information, maximum number of online users) depends on hardware configuration, network ping and co-match models, specifically when each school is validated through physical validation and cannot be applied directly from the conditions on the ground.
The campus network Authentication & Billing integrates identification, access control, billing management and strategy to allow the campus network to move from one location to another."Free and uncontrollable."Changed"Identification, costing, controllable, traceability"It is a central system for the regulation of campus network operations. For information-based services, it is based on a mature and stable, open interface, and cost-effective campus network, NatSHELL_AUTTH_BILLING, which provides a foundation for the safety, management and operation of campus networks and supports their long-term development.
