Gatekeeper Pico Driver and Software
The supplied Gatekeeper Pico CD includes the Gatekeeper Pico driver and software.
You install the driver and software the first time you connect the Gatekeeper Pico unit
to the computer as described in “Getting Started”.
The software and driver provide the following features and benefits:
Redirection
— the ability to connect a laptop to a network (Internet or other)
using a Wi-Fi (wireless) connection, analog modem, cellular modem, or any other
network interface, and have all traffic redirected to the Gatekeeper unit. The
Gatekeeper allows only safe and secure traffic to reach your laptop.
Yoggie Enforcement
— the ability to connect to a network is disabled if Gatekeeper
Pico is not connected to the laptop. If the Gatekeeper is physically disconnected
from the laptop during use, all network connections are automatically and
immediately terminated.
Gatekeeper Pico icon
— located in the Windows notification area (icon tray).
Right-clicking the icon provides:
Quick access to the Gatekeeper Pico Management Console (see “Yoggie
Management Console”).
The ability to temporarily disable protection (see “Disabling Gatekeeper Pico
Enforcement”).
Protection status indication
— the Gatekeeper Pico icon is green when protection is
enabled and red when protection is disabled.
Notification balloons
— balloons from the icon contain information on the
Gatekeeper status and events. Status notification tooltips can also be viewed by
placing the mouse cursor over the icon.
Disable protection
— (password required) in case of an emergency, for example, if
a Gatekeeper Pico unit has been lost or damaged, the network can be accessed
by disabling Gatekeeper Pico Enforcement (see “Disabling Gatekeeper Pico
Enforcement”).
