This chapter introduces the features and applications of the VSG.

The VSG-1200 V2 Vantage Service Gateway is a rack-mountable service gateway that 
provides multiple subscribers easy Internet connectivity. The VSG is ideal for office, hotspot 
and hotel network environments.

Hotspots are public areas, such as airports, hotels, coffee shops, where end users (or 
subscribers) can access the Internet at any time.

Your VSG provides the following features to accommodate subscribers with a variety of 
network configurations with little or no technical support.

Many hotels use a PMS to perform automatic billing of services the guests use such as room 
service, mini-bar, pay-per-view TV or telephone calls. The VSG supports PMS from Micros 
Fidelios.

The Hilton Group Corporation developed the High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) service to 
provide Internet access service across its entire Hilton Group hotels. In order to use the HSIA, 
hotel guest(s) must be authenticated through the proprietary CAS. The CAS performs both 
user authentication and accounting. 

Your VSG is integrated with various online credit card billing service providers allowing you 
to use a credit card service to authorize, process, and manage credit card transactions directly 
through the Internet.

With Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security activated upon login, data exchanged between the 
VSG and client computers is encrypted and protected.
