Congratulations on your purchase of the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ GUESTGATE Internet Access Device, Model 523240. The GUESTGATE connects guests to your network, allowing them to accessonly the Internet (Web, email, chat and other applications). GUESTGATE protects your existing network from unauthorized access by the connected guest computers and, if required, even provides shielding for the guest computers among themselves. Furthermore, GUESTGATE features enhanced IP PnP (Plug and Play) technology: It automatically adjusts to the guest computer’s TCP/IP settings, eliminatingtime-consuming client IP reconfigurations. GUESTGATE seamlessly integrates into your existing network and, in most applications, a configuration of GUESTGATE is not necessary: GUESTGATE provides the core functionality right out of the box.
