The branch of the domain contains the HGWs and PGWs, depending on the authentication method you have selected in the domain.
HGW gateways are equipment placed between the access point network and internet, they route users ‘ anonymous requests to Welcome Portal or login page for registration or authentication.
Login credentials for the user can be provided directly by the manager of the HGW gateway or the user, if set out by the domain, may obtain them by registering independently to the service using the procedure specified to this phase.
PAEGW gateways are equipments to which the customers’s devices send authentication requests and which, in turn, forward them to the HSNM’s radius that checks the username and password and assigns the characteristics of the connections based on the product assigned to the user.
Login credentials for the user are generally created by the manager and provided to users.
PGWs are instead equipment to which the customers’ routers send authentication requests and that, in turn, they forward to the radius of HSNM that checks the username and password and assigns the characteristics of the connections based on the product that is assigned to the user. Technically, they are called NAS.
Managers create the user login credentials and provide them to the users, who will have to configure the routers.
