Connecting to your Network
Installation of the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper requires temporarily isolating a client workstation from the network
and linking it to the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. This involves changing a client workstation IP address to within the

Gatekeeper IP address is modified to within the range of your network (we explain how to do this in section
