H OTS POT GATEWAYThe Subscriber Interface 251Internal and External Web ServersThe HSG supports both internal and external Web servers which act as a logininterface between subscribers and the solution provider’s network, including theInternet. The internal Web server is “flashed” into the system’s memory and the loginpage is served directly from the HSG. In the external Web server model, the HSGredirects the subscriber’s login request to an external server. Either method istransparent to the subscriber; however, the advantage of using the internal Web serveris obvious – no login redirection tasks and a faster response time for the subscriber.Language SupportThe HSG’s subscriber interface supports many Asian and European languages,including: English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.Home Page RedirectionThe HSG can be configured to redirect all valid subscribers to a Web portal or homepage determined by the solution provider. After a specified time, from the first homepage redirection (determined by the system administrator), subscribers are redirectedagain to the portal at the next Web page request.
