Virtual Server Settings
Virtual server, in this case, refers to a computer that is not a dedicated server -- that is, the entire
computer is not dedicated to running the server software. Through the Intel® Wireless Gateway,
the devices on a network can act as virtual servers. Use the Virtual Server Settings page to assign
one or more services to specific computers in the network.
In the
Internal IP
field, enter the IP address for each virtual server (computer) on the network. For
each computer, select its primary service from the drop-down list. If the computer has more than
one service, enter the same IP address in another
Internal IP
field and select a service from the
drop-down list.
Table 4 describes the different service options.

Access Control Settings
To deny or grant users access to your wireless network, use the Access Control List. The default
setting for access control is
Disable Access Control List
. This feature grants all users with the
correct wireless settings to access the WLAN.
Any user who is on the Grant Access List and has the correct wireless settings has access to the
wireless network. Any user on the Deny Access List is denied access to the wireless network. This
second option is provided in the case that there are many WLAN users and access is denied for
only a few of them. Use the drop-down list to change the permissions for the device.
