With either automatic or manual addressing, you specify a range of IP
addresses that the gateway can provide, either dynamically or permanently.
Automatic addressing allows you to limit the number of clients that can access
the server at any one time. Manual addressing allows you to limit both the
number of clients and the specific group of clients who have access. If you use
both manual and automatic addressing at the same time, you must specify two
separate ranges, one for each type.

IMPORTANT

Manual addressing can only add security to the gateway if users

agree to protect the addresses you assign. If the addresses are made available,
either accidentally or by design, anyone can use them.

To configure the gateway:

1

Double-click the Gateway Manager icon to open the program.

The Gateway Information window appears.

2

Choose “Set up Gateway” from the Control menu.

The Gateway Setup dialog box appears.
