PageGate's flexibility and scalability is due to its modular design. The modularity of PageGate allows each of its modules to be run on a separate computer. Here is an example:
- The PageGate Scheduler module and the PageGate Database run on the production file server.
- The GetMail module runs on a separate server
- The GetWeb module runs on the web server
- 1 to 16 Dialer modules run on a communications server
- The PageGate Administration and Monitoring programs run on an administrator's workstation
- The PageGate GUI Client runs on several workstations on the LAN
In contrast, all of the above modules can run on a single workstation or server.
Steps to install PageGate's modules on additional computers:
1. Run PageGate's setup program. Install the PageGate application on the new workstation or server (refer to the regular installation instructions for details).
2. Run PageGate on the new computer.
3. The first time PageGate is run, you will be given the 'PageGate Setup Screen' (this screen can be accessed later by choosing 'Settings' from the 'Program' object in the Admin program).
4. Set the 'Program Directory' to where you installed PageGate on the local machine.
5. Set the 'Database Directory' to the same location as in the existing PageGate installation (this would need to be a shared folder on the network).
6. Set the 'Log Directory' to the same location as in the existing PageGate installation (this would need to be a shared folder on the network).
7. Choose which of PageGate's modules are to run on this computer. Be sure to disable the modules you choose on any existing PageGate servers. If you are installing PageGate simply to use the Administration program, leave all the module boxes unchecked.
8. Apply your changes. PageGate will now start..
9. Use the above procedure on each computer that will run one or more of PageGate's modules.
