Gateway Installation

Installation notes

The Gateway has two main components:

 The Gateway, which runs as a service with no user interface. Multiple Gateways can

be installed in the network.

 The Gateway Administrator, which is used to configure one or more Gateways. The

Gateway Administrator (which does not require a license) can be installed on multiple

computers in your network.

Install via internet download

The Gateway is distributed as part of ZIP files available for download from

http://www.vector-networks.com. The contents should be unzipped (while

preserving the directory tree structure) on your computer.

To install the Gateway and/or the Gateway Administrator, simply click on the

Gateway.msi file.

Windows Firewall exceptions

The Gateway automatically registers itself as an exception with Windows Firewall.

At installation time, the Host installer and Gateway installer create program-based

exceptions in the Windows Firewall. The exceptions are named Host and Gateway, and

allow network traffic to the Host and Gateway services, respectively, over their standard

default ports.

If you do not want the exceptions (e.g. because the Host is set for reverse connections

only, and should not be ―exposed‖), you should disable the exceptions by unchecking the

box in the configuration dialog for Windows Firewall itself. It is not recommended that the

exceptions be deleted, because they will be recreated and enabled if you upgrade to a

later version of the.

The exceptions are removed automatically when the products (Host, Gateway) are

uninstalled.
