Chapter 4. Configuring the Intel® Wireless Gateway
To configure the Intel® Wireless Gateway for your network, locate a client computer that has a
wireless or wired connection to the network. From the computer, use one of the following tools to
configure the network settings for the Intel® Wireless Gateway:
Web Management Tool (recommended)
Intel® Wireless Gateway Manager
Telnet
Console Port
The recommended tool for configuring the Intel® Wireless Gateway is the Web Management
Tool. This software is already installed on the Intel® Wireless Gateway. To access the Web
Management Tool, open a Web browser on the client.
You can also configure the access point by installing the Intel® Wireless Gateway Manager
directly onto the client. For more information about installing and using this software, refer to the
Intel support Web site at http://www.intel.com/support
.
Before attempting to configure the Intel® Wireless Gateway with the Web Management Tool,
make sure that there is an active wired or wireless connection from the client to the Intel®
Wireless Gateway LAN port. For assistance, refer to Troubleshooting for the Web Management
Tool. Only one user from a network can configure the device. If you attempt to access the setup
system while another user is configuring the device, your request will be denied.
