Chapter 4. Configuring the Intel® Wireless Gateway
20 Intel® Wireless Gateway User's Guide
If you have wireless clients in your network, you must configure the clients’ wireless adapters to
match the settings for the Intel® Wireless Gateway. For assistance, refer to the adapter’s
documentation.
4.1.4 Device Status
The Device Status page is the default for the Web Management Tool home page. It graphically
displays the current connection status for the Intel® Wireless Gateway and other devices in your
network. Connections between network devices are shown with a yellow curving arrow.
Inoperative connections are represented by a grey arrow and a red ‘X.’
Refer to the left-side of the screen for current WAN Ethernet Settings and the IP address for the
Intel® Wireless Gateway.
4.1.5 Device Information
The Device Information page is for user information only. It displays basic and advanced network
settings for the Intel® Wireless Gateway. When changes are made to any network settings, those
changes are updated in this screen.
4.1.6 Advanced Settings
In Advanced Settings, you can specify server settings, assign permissions, determine routing
properties, and define a password for the Intel® Wireless Gateway. Click
Advanced Settings
from the top navigation bar to begin making changes to these network settings.
Click
Save & Restart
from the Advanced Settings menu after making all the changes for the
advanced settings. Failing to do so will result in lost settings.
DHCP Server Settings
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service that automatically assigns IP addresses
to devices on a network. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because DHCP
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. When a
client is added to the network, the DHCP Server automatically assigns a unique IP address to the
client.
If DHCP is enabled on an Intel® Wireless Gateway, IP addresses are assigned to clients by that
Intel® Wireless Gateway.
There can only be one active DHCP Server in your network.
