Gateway uses when sending and receiving information to and
from the real servers.
When starting a VPN Gateway the very first time, you enter the
Setup utility automatically. The Setup utility is used for performing
a basic configuration of the VPN Gateway. The Setup utility first
presents you with the choice of setting up the NVG as a single
device, or to add the VPN Gateway to an existing cluster.
If you perform a reinstallation of the NVG software, you will also
enter the Setup Utility after the VPN Gateway has rebooted.
