WebGate's flexibility and scalability is due to its modular design. The modularity of WebGate allows each of its modules to be run on a separate computer. Here is an example:
- The WebGate Scheduler module and the WebGate 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 WebGate Administration and Monitoring programs run on an administrator's workstation
In contrast, all of the above modules can run on a single workstation or server.
Steps to install WebGate's modules on additional computers:
1. Run WebGate's setup program. Install the WebGate application on the new workstation or server (refer to the regular installation instructions for details).
2. Run WebGate on the new computer.
3. The first time WebGate is run, you will be given the 'WebGate 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 WebGate on the local machine.
5. Set the 'Database Directory' to the same location as in the existing WebGate 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 WebGate installation (this would need to be a shared folder on the network).
7. Choose which of WebGate's modules are to run on this computer. Be sure to disable the modules you choose on any existing WebGate servers. If you are installing WebGate simply to use the Administration program, leave all the module boxes unchecked.
8. Apply your changes. WebGate will now start..
9. Use the above procedure on each computer that will run one or more of WebGate's modules.
