Application Gateway Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1
Installing the Application Gateway
Preparing for Installation
3
Materials and Information Needed for Installation
Before installing the Application Gateway, collect the following materials:
•
One network cable to connect the Application Gateway to a LAN (two
cables are required if the Application Gateway will straddle two
networks)
•
A computer capable of hosting terminal console communication
through a serial port
Collect the network information you need for the installation, using the
Pre-Installation Checklist
provided with the Application Gateway.
Note
If the Application Gateway is connected to a server load balancer,
your network administrator will need to determine, based on your
network configuration, whether any server load balancer settings
will need to be adjusted to operate with the Application Gateway.
Locating Application Gateways in Your Enterprise Network
This topic provides information intended to help you determine where to
locate Application Gateways in your network. For more information about
Application Gateways and your network, refer to the
Network Integration
Guide
.
The location of an Application Gateway in a network is largely based on
the configuration of the existing network. The flexible deployment of the
Application Gateway enables you to connect it to application servers,
routers, firewalls, and switches.
An Application Gateway that supports Phone Productivity Pack
applications is typically connected to a router through the Application
Gateway Interface 0 port (LAN1). If the Application Gateway straddles
networks, you will need to use both Interfaces 0 and 1 to connect the
Application Gateway to the networks.
An Application Gateway that is used to transform applications for
delivery to mobile devices requires a configuration that permits secure
access outside of the firewall.
