into effect.

Configuring the gateway
To configure the gateway, it’s important to understand the types of addressing
options available. All options refer to the type of address a user’s computer
must have when accessing the gateway.
n Automatic addressing means computers are assigned addresses by the
gateway computer each time they access the gateway.
n Manual addressing means computers use preassigned addresses when they
access the gateway.
n Both means either manual or automatic addresses are acceptable.
