  • Page 8: Guestgate Function Basics

    GuestGate Function Basics Ports GuestGate features a total of five 10/100 RJ45 ports. One port is for the connection of GuestGate to the host network (Host Port), four ports are available for guest connections (guest ports). The guest ports can be connected to hubs, switches, wireless access points, PCs or notebooks.

  • Page 9: Installation

    INSTALLATION Recommended Setup This setup method assumes that a DHCP Server such as a router is present in your network. 1. Connection to the Host Network Connect standard RJ45 network cable to GuestGate’s Host Port and to a RJ45 port on your existing network (Ethernet switch port, router switch port, etc.).
  • Page 10 3. Testing Internet Access Start a PC or notebook which is connected to one of the guest ports.

    Advanced Setup The standard installation of GuestGate is based on the assumption that a DHCP Server is present in your network. If this is not the case, you can still configure GuestGate manually. To do this you need to turn GuestGate on while it is disconnected from the network. If no DHCP Server can be found after 3 minutes, GuestGate will fall back to its default IP address of 192.168.2.1.
