When PageGate is run for the first time, you will be required to enter some initial setup information. This information can be modified later by using PageGate's Administration program (PG Admin). To start PageGate, choose 'PageGate Server' from your Windows start menu. The default location would be 'Start' > 'Programs' > 'PageGate' > 'PageGate Server'. The first window you will see is the 'PageGate Setup' window. Here you need to make some choices about where to keep some of PageGate's files, and which of PageGate's modules you will be using on this computer.
Here are the settings:
Program directory - This tells PageGate where its program files reside on the local computer. In most cases this would be where PageGate was installed (default: C:\Program Files\PageGate\).
Database Directory - This is where PageGate will keep its database. If you are upgrading from a previous version of PageGate, be sure to enter the same database location as the prior version. The database will be automatically upgraded. If you plan to use the PageGate GUI Client, or to run some of PageGate's modules on another computer, or to administer PageGate from another computer, you should put PageGate's database in a shared network folder. IMPORTANT: If you specify a shared network folder, the other PageGate modules/programs MUST HAVE FULL RIGHTS TO THIS FOLDER, and all folders below it in the directory structure.
Log Directory - The log directory holds all of PageGate's log files. These logs may be used often by the administrator of PageGate. If the PageGate Administration program is to be run from another workstation, the logs should be kept in a shared network folder that both the PageGate server and the administrator's workstation have full access to.
Run on this server - Here you can choose which of PageGate's modules to run on this computer (please refer to 'Advanced Installation' for information on running PageGate across multiple computers). The scheduler module and at least one dialer must be run somewhere in order for PageGate to operate. The GetAscii, GetMail, and GetWeb modules are optional, but must be setup on a computer to receive messages via their respective interfaces.
After making your selections, apply your changes.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of PageGate, you will be prompted for a new registration key. You will need to obtain a new key from NotePage, Inc. for this version if you are upgrading from PageGate version 2.x (please refer to the section labeled 'Purchasing').
If a new PageGate database is created, you may be prompted to restart PageGate at this point.
