  • Page 9: Guest Gate Function Basics

    1.3 GUEST GATE FUNCTION BASICS Ports GUEST GATE features a total of 5 10/100 RJ45 Ports. One port is for the connection of GUEST GATE to the Host Network (Host Port), 4 Ports are available for guest connections (Guest Ports). The Guest Ports can be connected to Hubs, Switches, Wireless Access Points, PCs or Notebooks.
  • Page 10 Guest Ports with Virtual VLAN Enabled If “Virtual VLAN” is enabled, GUEST GATE assigns a different IP Network (Subnet) to each connected Guest Computer. Since this assignment is random it makes it virtually impossible for a hacker to guess the other Guest Computer’s IP Settings to try to gain access. “Virtual VLAN” is enabled by default. It can be disabled in the GUEST configuration screen of the Administrator Web Interface.

    2.2 ADVANCED SETUP The standard installation of GUEST GATE bases on the assumption that a DHCP Server is present in your network. If this is not the case, you can still configure GUEST GATE manu- ally. To do that you need to turn on GUEST GATE while it is disconnected from the network. If no DHCP Server can be found after 3 minutes, GUEST GATE will fall back to its default IP Address of 192.168.2.1.
