INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS GuestGate™ MK II Hotspot Gateway. GuestGate connects guests to your network, allowing them to access only the Internet (Web, Email, Chat and other applications). GuestGate protects your existing network from unauthorized access and, if required, even shields 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, eliminating time-consuming client IP reconfigurations. The Mark II edition features 300 Mbps Wireless N support, RADIUS authentication and enhanced logging features. GuestGate seamlessly integrates into your existing network and in many applications a configuration of GuestGate is not necessary. GuestGate provides the core functionality right out of the box.
Function Description
Internet access for Guests
GuestGate is primarily designed to provide configuration-free Internet access for your guests. GuestGate uses the existing Internet connection of your network to provide Web and email access for computers connected in a conference room, a hotel or a public place with wireless network connectivity. GuestGate does not stop here, however. It addresses security-related concerns of the network administrator by shielding the existing network from access attempts from the connected guests. In short, this means that guests can access the Internet, but your own network — i.e., your network file server, email or application server — is off limits.
Password-Protected Internet access for Guests
The network administrator can make it mandatory for your guests to enter a password before Internet access is granted. This is an important function in case you offer Internet access as a paid service or in situations where an open, unprotected wireless access point is connected to GuestGate and you wish to keep unauthorized users from using your bandwidth.
Configurable Welcome Screen for your Guests
You can set up your own welcome screen in seconds. Change the wording and formatting, upload your own banner image or change the entire HTML code. The welcome screen is displayed when a guest connects to the Internet for the first time. The welcome screen can be utilized to make the guest agree to your terms and conditions, and can be completely deactivated if required.
IP PnP
In many situations it is necessary for the network administrator to change the TCP/IP settings of guest computers because the existing settings are not compatible or your network has advanced requirements. GuestGate eliminates this step completely. GuestGate automatically adjusts to the guest computer's TCP/IP settings, providing a true zero guest configuration.
Bandwidth Control
GuestGate controls how much of your Internet connection speed is dedicated to the guest network. Upload and download bandwidth can be configured individually.
Layer 3 Client Isolation Function
In a public location with a public Wireless Access Point there are often concerns about security. GuestGate not only protects the Host Network from unauthorized access by your guests, it takes security one step further. When the “use separate random network for each client” option is activated, no guest computer can access any other guest computer. In this mode GuestGate randomly assigns each guest computer its own network. This option is activated by default.
Packet Filter
Block access to certain Web sites or entire IP ranges.
300 Mbps Wireless N Support
GuestGate MK II has integrated Wireless LAN support for connection speeds up to 300 Mbps. It supports the latest Wireless N technology as well as legacy Wireless G and Wireless B connections.
4 Port 10/100 Auto Sensing LAN Switch
GuestGate provides four 10/100 Mbps LAN switch ports for the connection of PCs, notebooks, or other switches or wireless access points.
Web-Based Administrator Interface
The configuration is fully Web-browser based. For security reasons, the Web administrator menu is only accessible from the host network.
Firmware Updates via Web Browser
Quickly and conveniently upgrade firmware of GuestGate with the Web browser of your choice.
Installation Examples
GuestGate in a SOHO Network Environment
This is a typical setup in which the Internet connection is established through an NAT router with an integrated firewall.

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.
Host Port
By default GuestGate obtains an IP address from a DHCP server already present in the network. GuestGate analyzes the network and obtains all information necessary for Internet access. The DHCP Server Log reveals the HOST IP address of GuestGate.
In the event that no DHCP Server is present, GuestGate reverts to its default IP address 192.168.2.1. In this case a manual configuration of the HOST IP settings is necessary.
Guest ports
GuestGate assigns IP addresses to the connected guest computers. IP PnP technology ensures that no configuration on the guest computer is necessary. The default IP address range is 172.16.xxx. Changing the guest IP settings is possible via the Web administration interface.
Guest ports with Layer 3 Client Isolation enabled
If the Layer 3 Client Isolation is enabled, GuestGate assigns a different IP Network (Subnet) to each connected guest computer. Since this assignment is random, it makes it virtually impossible for a hacker to guess the other guest computer's IP settings to try to gain access. This option is enabled by default. It can be disabled in the guest configuration screen of the administrator Web interface. The option is “separate network for each client (automatic).”
Time / Scheduler
You can configure the time period in which GuestGate allows Internet access. Possible values are “always on” or based on a schedule (week day and time).
Accessing the Administrator Web Interface
The configuration of GuestGate is entirely Web-based. Any standard Web browser is supported. For security reasons, GuestGate can only be configured from the host port. GuestGate rejects all connection attempts which originate from the guest side.
Internet Access for Guests and Welcome Page
When a guest computer tries to access the Internet for the first time, a welcome page is shown in the Web browser. This welcome page can be configured and altered in the Administrator Web Interface. Guests have to accept the terms and conditions in order to access the Internet. If the Guest Password option is enabled, a password must be provided by the guest to gain Internet access.
This authorization procedure is only required once. GuestGate memorizes all authorized guest computers until GuestGate is restarted.
After a restart of GuestGate, guests again will be shown the welcome page. If a guest computer is disconnected from GuestGate for more than 10 minutes, the welcome page is shown again.
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.).
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 60 seconds (if no DHCP Server is present it may take as long as 300 seconds).
2. Connection of Guests
Using standard RJ45 Network Cable you can connect PCs, notebooks, Ethernet switches, hubs or wireless access points to the guest ports of GuestGate. Each port has its own status LED. Verify that the network connection is active on each port you connect. Alternatively you can connect to GuestGate wirelessly by connecting to the Wireless network with the name of "GuestGate."

1. Configuration Guest
Option "separate network for each client (automatic)"
If this option is activated, GuestGate randomly assigns different networks to each connected guest computer. This option should be activated if you want to prevent guest computers from seeing and accessing each other (Layer 3 Client Isolation = on). It is activated by default.
Option "same network for all clients (automatic)"
GuestGate automatically assigns IP addresses to the guest computers. All guest computers operate in the same network (Layer 3 Client Isolation = off).
Option "same network for all clients (enter manually)"
If this option is enabled, you can manually define the network for the connected guest computers (Layer 3 Client Isolation = off).
2. Access Control: Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN
Allows activating or deactivating the WLAN function of GuestGate.
SSID
Define the name of the Wireless network, e.g., "free wifi," "guest wireless," "hotelwifi," etc.
Operational Mode
Here you can select which wireless modes are supported by GuestGate. The standard mode is 802.11 B/GN. It supports legacy Wireless B and Wireless G connections as well as the new Wireless N standard at 300 Mbps.
For best compatibility, we recommend using the default B/G/N mode.
Channel Number
Set GuestGate to a channel between 1 and 11. To achieve the maximum performance from the Wireless network, you should set the channel as far away as you can from existing wireless networks in your vicinity. For example, if there is a nearby wireless network running at channel 4, you should not set GuestGate to channel 4, 5 or 6, but instead to channel 7 or higher.

4. Access Control: Welcome Screen
Welcome Screen
Enable or disable the welcome page for guests. (Default = enabled.) If this parameter is set to “disabled,” all guest users can access the Internet freely. No welcome page is displayed, even if a guest password is defined below.
Global Guest Password
If you require your guests to enter a password to access the Internet, you can define it here. If left empty, no password is required (default = no password). This is the global password that can be used by any guest; it is not an individual user password. The password option is only effective if the welcome screen option is set to “enabled” (see above).
Radius Server
In case you have a RADIUS authentication server in your network and you want to utilize it to authenticate your guest users, you need to enter the server's IP address here.
Radius Server
Type in the optional password for the RADIUS server here.
Radius Realm
Enter the optional realm delimiter (e.g., "@" or "\") here.
5. Access Control: Welcome Passwords
Set up individual user passwords that are only valid for a certain time period and can be used by a defined number of computers simultaneously. The example below shows a password “test” that is valid from “05/28/2010, 12 am” until “06/02/2010, 12 am.” The password can be used by five users simultaneously. Up to nine users can use the same password. The amount of user passwords is limited by available memory in GuestGate, but should ideally not exceed 50.

Configuration Host
Option "dhcp"
GuestGate automatically receives the IP address, netmask, gateway and DNS server information from the DHCP server in your network, typically a router.
Option "static"
In larger networks, a manual configuration of the IP settings may be necessary. Select "static" and enter the IP address, netmask, gateway IP address and DNS server IP addresses manually. Multiple DNS Servers can be entered by separating them with a space, i.e., 111.222.333.444 999.888.777.666.
Administrator IP address
Restrict access to GuestGate's administration menu to the IP address you enter in this field. This can be any local or public IP address.
2. Packet filter
Blocked Addresses
If you wish to block certain IP addresses, domain names or an entire network, you can enter this here. "Add Host Address" is used to enter domain names such as guestgate.com or intellinet-network.com.
Enter the domain name and click "Add Host." Repeat the steps to block additional domains. "Add Network Address" is used to enter an IP address. To specify the range you can select the appropriate network mask from the drop-down list. If you wish to delete a blocked address, select it from the drop-down list and click "Remove."

Packet filter Blocked Addresses: ischunt.com Remove Add Host Address: thepiratebay.org Add Host Add Network Address: 74.125.157.104 / 255.255.255.0 Add NetworkBlocked Ports
This option lets you specify which outgoing TCP/IP ports you wish to block. Enter the port number and click "Add Port." GuestGate blocks both TCP and UDP protocols. A list of common service ports can be found in the APPENDIX at the end of the document. If you wish to remove a port, simply select the desired port from the dropdown list and click on "Remove."
Note: You can only add and remove single ports. Port ranges are not supported.
Permitted Addresses
By default, GuestGate blocks access to all PCs in the Host network. This function lets you define exceptions.
Add Host Address: Enter a single IP address; e.g., the IP address of your Intranet Web server and click on "Add Host." Repeat this step if you wish to enter more IP addresses.
text_image
Permitted Addresses: 192.168.2.50 Remove Add Host Address: 192.168.2.51 Add HostThe example above shows that access to IP address 192.168.2.50 is allowed. IP address 192.168.2.51 will be allowed as soon as "Add Host" is clicked.
Add Network Address: Enter an IP address and a subnet mask to define a range of IP addresses permitted to your guests. For example, if you wish to allow access to the entire host network, you can do that quickly by using this function.

Permitted Addresses: Remove Add Host Address: Add Host Add Network Address: 192.168.2.1 / 255.255.255.0 Add NetworkThe example above shows how to allow access to the entire network range, from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.254.
Walled Garden Addresses
You can grant an unauthenticated user limited access to Web sites, both external and internal, using the Walled Garden function. You can define external and internal addresses to which every user, logged in or not, has access. This area is called the Walled Garden.
As soon as the user tries to connect to a Web page that is outside the walled garden, GuestGate requires authentication, as shown below.

When a guest connects to GuestGate for the first time, GuestGate can redirect the guest to a Web page you want them to see, e.g., a page displaying special offers or advertising.
2. Mode to customize welcome page:
There are two values to choose from: "simple" and "advanced." In simple mode you can change the welcome text and replace the default banner graphic. In advanced mode, you have access to the entire HTML source code of the welcome page. Once you enable the advanced mode, an additional text box appears on the bottom of the page (see below: "Welcome HTML Code").
3. Banner Graphic
You can replace the default banner image with your own image such as the logo of your company. Click on "Browse" to select the file you wish to upload. Click on "Upload" to replace the default banner image. After the upload, the text "Default Image" changes into "Custom Image."
Note:
The banner image file type must be JPG, GIF or PNG. The banner image size must not exceed 60 kB. The banner image dimension is not limited, but the width should ideally not exceed 1024 pixels. The banner image only displays on the guest welcome screen. It does not replace the banner in the administrator Web interface.
4. Welcome Text
You can overwrite the default text with your own custom text. GuestGate supports HTML tags to format your text. Below is a small selection:
<strong>bold text</strong>
<font color = red>red text</font>
<font color = #00ff00">green text</font>
<u>underlined text</u>
<u><strong><font color = red>red bold underlined text</font></strong></u>
