Hardware connections for a physically separate guest network

If you plan to configure a physically separate guest network, you need to set up your network connections differently at this point. The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP ships with an extra network port to support configuration of a physically separate guest network. Use both network ports on the access point to create two physical connections to different networks:

■Create a wired (Ethernet) connection from one of the network ports on the access point to your internal LAN.

■Create a second wired (Ethernet) connection from the other network port on the access point to a separate network.

After you have the required physical connections set up, the rest of the configuration process is accomplished through the Administration UI. For information on configuring guest interface settings on the Administration UI, see “Advanced Configuration” on page 67.

Turning on the access point

Plug in the AC power adapter and plug the power adapter into the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP, then wait for its initialization process to complete.

Running KickStart to find access points and assign IP addresses

KickStart is an easy-to-use utility for discovering and identifying new Gateway access points. KickStart scans the network looking for Gateway access points, and displays ID details on those it finds.
