SPOT, The Intelligent HotSpot, will enable you to get back in
control of your wireless network. Patron authentication, session
control and
printing (including the ability to charge for printing) are
fully supported. Features include:
 |
The patron authentication function supports all of
the authentication
modes supported by CASSIE, or you can allow patrons
to sign in "anonymously" -- wireless printing is
supported either way. |
 |
Daily time limits and operating hours are
automatically enforced. |
 |
Platform-independent printing allows patrons and
guests to print from virtually any laptop (Windows, Mac
OS X, Linux), PDA, etc. |
 |
You can charge patrons and guests for printing;
surcharges for color and duplex modes are applied when
appropriate. |
 |
Single-session or day-use guest accounts are easily
created, enabling you to allow visitors or guests to use
your network and print. |
 |
When integrated with a supported web content
filtering system, the filter profile can be set
automatically for each user, based upon that user's
age and/or patron type. |
 |
SSL/TLS encryption ("https") is available, to ensure patron
privacy during the authentication process, even if you
don't use encryption in your wireless network. |
 |
Flexible design allows you to use existing network
infrastructure, including existing wireless access
points. Both wireless and/or wired networks may be
secured. |
 |
SPOT integrates seamlessly with CASSIE, offering a
rich set of staff monitoring and control functions
through CASSIE's easy-to-use graphical interface. |
SPOT is a companion product to CASSIE. Please
