Q:Can I use HTML code in my custom welcome page?

A:Yes. GUESTGATE does not limit you in any way. If you are an HTML Web developer, you can create an enhanced welcome page simply by pasting the HTML code into the welcome page configuration field.

Q:Does GUESTGATE support PHP, ASP or Perl?

A:No. GUESTGATE does not support server-side scripting.

Q:I have changed some settings in the administrator Web interface, but the changes show no effect. Why?

A:You may have forgotten to save the configuration through the exit page of the administrator Web interface.

Q:What is the option “separate network for each client (automatic)” in the guest configuration screen used for?

A:This is the Virtual VLAN function of GUESTGATE. If this option is activated, GUESTGATE will prevent the connected guest computers from accessing each other by assigning random TCP/IP network settings to the guest computers. This way, each guest operates in its own “Virtual LAN.” The two examples below illustrate how it works.

1.Guest configuration set to “same network for all clients (automatic)”: Guest computer 1 receives IP address 172.16.254.253.

Guest computer 2 receives IP address 172.16.254.252. Guest computer 3 receives IP address 172.16.254.251. […]

In this mode, all guest computers operate in one network and are therefore able to access each other. This is the standard mode of virtually any router and DHCP server on the market.

2.Guest configuration set to “separate network for each client (automatic)” (Virtual VLAN enabled):

Guest computer 1 receives IP address 192.168.17.42. Guest computer 2 receives IP address 172.16.25.12. Guest computer 3 receives IP address 10.10.8.178.

Guest computer 4 receives IP address 10.10.4.18. Guest computer 5 receives IP address 192.168.8.178. […]

In this mode, each guest computer operates in its own network and therefore can not access any other device except for the Internet. Since this function is random, it is next to impossible for an attacker to know or guess which IP addresses the other guests have been assigned, making a hacking attempt more difficult.

If you are concerned with the security of your guests or are worried about potential liability issues, you should activate this option (it is activated by default).
