Introduction

Welcome to the iCard-Managed Internet Services, a full-featured service creation software for Telcos, hotels, airports, convention centers, apartments, department stores, office buildings and other public locations based on the iCard prepaid Internet Access Card. The software will provide a plug-and-play access to client systems and allow property owners and service providers to generate revenue and integrate transparently other DTLink Inc. products. The iCard-MIS system will support multiple payment methods of the prepaid card, including credit card through third-party international operators.

InterGate (MBRPR) Server
The IG is the software module that will handle the low-level routing and networking functions of the client devices connected to the local network. The IG server handles the device connections and should be installed at every host location or WiFi metropolitan area.

Distributed Architecture. System administrators will be able to install multiple IG servers in different locations with a unique RS server managing the user authentication or have both modules running on the same server.
Secure Firewall. Built-in Firewall security for added protection against inside/outside attacks.
DHCP Server. Fully configurable DHCP server, which virtually eliminates the need to set up computers with their IP individually. Supports up 4000 DHCP clients per server.
Mac Based Routing. Transparent support for client IP devices with any DHCP or fixed IP configuration.
Users & Groups. Access filtering and control functions to be set for individual users and groups.
Remote Control. Provided with a Remote Control application for the IG module, with a number of flexible features for simple control, for an ultimate control over the user’s access to the Internet.
Remote Administration. Full access to monitoring and administration functions by authenticated users from a locally networked or remote computer.
TCPServer Locator. Allows users to see a list of all the servers on the network, without having to manually search for IP addresses.
Shared Internet Access. Unlimited number of client machines may access the Internet by sharing a single IP address. Network Address Translation (NAT) performs all necessary address translations transparently. Therefore, clients need not even know they are accessing the Internet through the server.
Real-time Processing. There is no performance difference from the client machine being directly connected.
No Compatibility issues with any software running on the client machines, and requires no proprietary client configuration or software.
Supports any connection method, including modem, cable modem,xDSL, T1, leased line, Telco Return systems and the latest generation of wireless connectivity.
Direct support for PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) is included, without requiring any third-party client software, or special client configuration.
Unlimited number of clients. Can hand out an unlimited number simultaneous client addresses, such as Windows 95/98/NT, MacOS & UNIX or any other IP-based devices.
Dynamic TCP/IP allocation or using preconfigured tables of information, allowing for the maximum of flexibility.
"Learn" option included, for handling the current DHCP clients, and then limit serving DHCP to these known computers.
Internet Filters provide specific restrictions to be placed on accessing Internet sites, by domain name or IP address. Wildcards are supported to block out specific ranges of sites.
Protocol blocking allows you to define which Internet services, such as FTP, email or news groups, are accessible to your users.
Individual access rights, with each connection having its own access rights control section, providing comprehensive management of connected networks.
DNS Caching - Minimize delays and time-outs experienced during Internet sessions.
Local DNS Server - Facilitate access to local hosts by using host names rather than IP addresses.
DNS/DHCP Integration - Enjoy the use of host names while retaining the benefits of dynamic address allocation.
Team connections - Increase throughput by using all your available bandwidth

Multiple connections of any type - Use any available connection, regardless of what type. Mix and match T1, DSL, Cable modem.
Combine Different ISP Connections - Use more than one ISP for optimal availability of service.
Bandwidth-on-demand - Additional connections open on demand. Bandwidth becomes available as required, optimizing connection resources.
Control on order of connection. You decide the order of connection - Maintain control over bandwidth allocation.
Specify mail and news traffic destinations - Default connection for Mail and News traffic.
Server-Based Web Caching - Faster web browsing for LAN-based users. With Efficient use of Internet bandwidth.
Transparent connection to the Cache server - No setup required for LAN client browsers
Local and Remote Administration of the Cache server - Administrator can administer the Cache server both from the server computer and optionally remotely using a browser.
Concurrent Caching and Delivery - Faster content delivery to LAN browsers.
Routing TCP/IP information between almost any installed configurations of Ethernet cards or communications interfaces, the Router component of the server allows for the ultimate in flexibility in a network environment.
Multiple LAN support. A single IG server can support an unlimited number of LAN systems (All NICs instlaled on the server).
Connection Fallback. Assure availability of service in mission critical environments.
Fallback on connection by connection basis - Tailor fallback to your specific needs.
User defined fallback order - Use more than one ISP for optimal availability of service.
Use the same connection, but to different ISP - Optimize use of connection resources.
Connection Auto Recover - Failed connection can be automatically re-established if possible.
WebHeader feature allows the administrator to place a text or graphic message automatically in a separate frame above each web page displayed in users’ browsers. WebHeaders can incorporate hyperlinks - Users may point and click through to other web pages on other sites. The WebHeader may draw users to view additional information. Carousel of Notices - Increase impact by rotating multiple notices. Style
Helper - ease of use in creation of eye catching WebHeader notices. No need to learn HTML!
Advanced filtering functionality allows the administrator to selectively prohibit access to specified sites. In addition, we have extended the capability of Internet filters by licensing the ’CyberNOT’ list and incorporating support for it in our servers. Categories of CyberNOT can be activated or deactivated: Violence/Profanity, Satanic or Cult, Partial Nudity, Drugs/Drug Culture, Full Nudity, Militant/Extremist,
Sexual Acts, Sex Education, Gross Depictions, Questionable/illegal & gambling, Intolerance, Alcohol & tobacco, Search Engines.
User defined filters. Specify independent implicit and wildcard domains to allow or disallow access. Override CyberNOT controls to grant access to specified sites.
Diagnostic utilities to aid configuration and troubleshooting. For testing Basic IP connectivity with name and address resolution.

Connection tracing - Traces all dial-up connection communications and negotiations. Router tracing - Traces all router activity.
Walled Garden. System administrators can define specific sites where the service will be provided for free.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) compatibility. 100% Access with simultaneous private and public IP address functionality (IPSEC, Microsoft PPTP).
NetSpooler Printing Support. Transparent support of the DTLink Inc. NetSpooler pay-per-print or any third-party printing solution.
