Configure the Gateway

Follow this procedure to set up and configure PC-Duo Gateway in your network. Each
step provides directions to use the default settings for PC-Duo Gateway. Information
about customizing the PC-Duo Gateway configuration is also provided where
appropriate.
1 Create a domain user account for your PC-Duo Gateway. If you choose the default
account user name (RemoteControlGateway), the steps for Host computer
configuration will be simpler.
2 Install PC-Duo Gateway and PC-Duo Gateway Administrator window on the same
computer, and assign the PC-Duo Gateway domain user account from Step 1 when
prompted. Unless you are using a 30-day trial version of the product, a valid PC-Duo
Gateway license must be provided.
3 By default, PC-Duo Gateway is set to automatically maintain connections with Hosts
outside its domain that have successfully reported to it across firewalls or NAT-devices
(using reverse control connections). Generally, these Hosts have public IP addresses.
However, it is also possible that a Host inside the domain is using a public IP address. In
this case, the Gateway needs to be configured not to maintain reverse control connection
to this Host, in order to avoid unnecessary network traffic. See
information.
4 Install the current version of PC-Duo Host on all Host computers in your network to
which you require remote access. Configure the following PC-Duo Host tasks as
necessary:

For each Host computer that you want to manage with the PC-Duo Gateway must be
configured to report to the Gateway. A Host computer can be configured to report to the
Gateway by using the
Gateway

Alternatively, PC-Duo Host configuration and installation options can be set using the
PC-Duo Deployment Tool. Use the Deployment Tool when you want to propagate
particular Host configuration options to a large number of Host computers in your
network. See PC-Duo Deployment Tool Guide for more information.
5 Start PC-Duo Gateway Administrator window. If you are not immediately connected to
the PC-Duo Gateway, you may need to right-click the server, and select
By default, any Host computers that are currently reporting to this PC-Duo Gateway are

and control policy for your network as needed:

If you do not use the default settings, customize the access control policy for all Host
computers in your network. See
descriptions of the different types of access and control rights you can assign.

Configure the same policy for all Host computers, or you can configure different
policies for different (groups of) Host computers. See
