Client Configuration: overview

 

Gate-and-Way services are based on open, industry standard tecnologies.
These are the same tecnologies used every day over the internet.

Thanks to this, you can use virtually any system you want as a client of Gate-and-Way.

A tipical installation is composed by one or more Linux server(s) and many Microsoft Windows clients, but you can use a Linux PC client as well as a Mac one.

The Gate-and-Way client must have:

  1. TCP-IP protocol correctly configured on the Network Card

  2. SMB (Server Message Block) network protocol correctly configured if you want to use the Gate-and-Way shared folders for storing your files or have Gate-and-Way to backup your local files.

  3. An IMAP capable software e-mail client (Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Netscape Mail, Mutt, Pine and others) if you want to send and receive e-mail using your client pc

  4. An HylaFax software client (WHFC and others) if you want to send faxes through the Gate-and-Way server, using your client pc

  5. A Web Browser if you want to surf the Internet (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera and others)

In this chapter we will discuss some examples of clients configurations. Other configurations are possible, but probably they will be very similar to those shown here.
