DSA-5100
AirSpot Gateway
4-Port AirSpot Gateway
With 2 WAN Ports for Double Internet Bandwidth
The DSA-5100 AirSpot Gateway is a cost-effective device for business and public organizations such as schools, hospitals and 
conventions to create a wired or wireless hot spot. This Public/Private Hot Spot Gateway is an Ethernet-based gateway 
designed to provide free or fee-based broadband connection to the public users while at the same time providing a separate and 
secure private network that shares the same Internet connection. If your business relies on public patronage, you have a way to 
give customers access to the Internet, or to networked printers and other resources. If you're a private company that wants to 
offer wireless Internet access for your employees, you can do so with the confidence that you're still maintaining a secure 
private network that a wireless user will never see. Connect a D-Link wireless access point to the DSA-5100 and you've got a 
wireless hot spot. Connect a D-Link switch and your back office computers and printers can share the same broadband 
connection.
Double Internet Bandwidth
Total Wireless Management Solution
The DSA-5100 provides 2 WAN ports to double the Internet 
connection bandwidth. The WAN ports supports 802.3ad 
Link Aggregation industry standard and can be bonded 
together into a load-sharing port trunk to eliminate 
bottlenecks in heavy Internet access environments. The DSA-
5100 provides bandwidth management tools for you to assign 
rational bandwidth usage of the 2 WAN ports.
The DSA-5100 Network Access Control System (NACS) 
provides functions beyond the AAA standard. Its 4A 
management solution supports not only Authentication, 
Authorization and Accounting (AAA), but also 
Administration for all wireless (and wired) network users. 
The gateway has a built-in database of up to 60 customized 
access management rules and up to 2,000 user accounts. The 
DSA-5100 can support up to 400 users on-line at any single 
moment. The gateway also supports POP3, RADIUS, and 
LDAP external authentication for larger-scale hot spot 
networks. Other features IP plug and play, user bandwidth 
control, network policy enforcement, customizable user 
timer, login/logout web-page, online traffic monitoring, and 
URL redirection provide a number of different ways for your 
organization to configure and manage your hot spot as either 
as a free or revenue-generating service.
Comprehensive Network Protection
Ideal Hot Spot Solution
The DSA-5100 includes a built-in DHCP server and a 
built-in high-speed routing engine, an easy-to-use web-
based graphical user interface (GUI) with SSL protection 
to securely and quickly configure the device. 
Configuration is also capable through the device's RS-232 
console port. To prevent unwanted Internet intruders from 
accessing your network, the DSA-5100 has a built-in 
Security Firewall with Denial of Service (DoS) prevention. 
With IP PnP (Plug and Play) and IP/port redirection 
provided by the DSA-5100, users connecting to the hot 
spot don't need to re-configure their computer's settings to 
send or retrieve e-mail or access the Internet.
Capable of serving hundreds of simultaneous, discrete 
users, the DSA-5100 gateway is the perfect system for a 
mid-size enterprise and organization to provide a wireless 
hot spot. In a matter of just a few minutes, your business 
or organization can provide a wired or wireless hot spot 
while still maintaining a private network that the public 
will never see. Whether you're an enterprise, merchants 
association, factory, hospital, school, or public library, the 
DSA-5100 is your instant hot spot solution.
