RECOMMENDED SETUP

This setup method for the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS GUESTGATE Internet Access Device assumes that a DHCP server such as a router is present in your network.

Connecting to the Host Network

Connect a standard RJ-45 network cable to GUESTGATE’s host port and to an RJ-45 port on your existing network (Ethernet switch port, router switch port, etc.).

Turn on GUESTGATE and verify that the network connection is active (host LED must be lit on GUESTGATE). NOTE: The startup process takes up to 30 seconds.

Connecting Guests

Using standard RJ-45 network cables, you can now connect PCs, notebooks, Ethernet switches, hubs or wireless access points to GUESTGATE’s guest ports. Each port has its own status LED. Verify that the network connection is active on each port you connect.

Testing Internet Access

Start up a PC or notebook that is connected to one of the guest ports. Launch a Web browser and open an Internet Web site, such as http://www.intellinet- network.com. You will then see GUESTGATE’s welcome page.

Provide the password if required and click on “continue.” You will then be forwarded to the Web page you originally entered in the

Web browser’s address bar.

NOTE: In order to get Internet access, you must first open a Web browser and open a Web page. Other applications, such as chat programs (ICQ, MSN Messenger, Skype, etc.), will not be able to connect to the Internet unless the welcome page has been confirmed in the Web browser.
