WebGate can be started by choosing 'WebGate Server' from the Windows start menu. Typically it can be found at 'Start' > 'Programs' > 'WebGate' > 'WebGate Server'.
After WebGate is started, a pager icon will appear in the Windows system tray on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (next to the clock). This icon is used to stop WebGate, start the WG Admin program, or start the WG Monitor program. Clicking on the pager with the left mouse button will display a menu with these options.
If WebGate is running as an application, or as a Windows 9x service, the first menu option, 'Restore', will simply remove the pager icon from the system tray, and open a window on your desktop. Use the minimize button to return the icon to the system tray and remove the WebGate window. Quitting the WebGate window by using the 'X' control or by using the 'Quit WebGate' button will stop the entire WebGate Server application.
If WebGate is running as a Windows NT system service, the first menu option will be 'Start' instead of 'Restore'. This option will start the WebGate system service if it is not already running.
The second menu item is 'WG Admin'. Choosing this item will start WebGate's Administration program (if it is not already running).
The third menu item is 'WG Monitor'. Choosing this item will start WebGate's real-time monitoring program.
If WebGate is running as an application or as a Windows 9x service, the last option is 'Quit'. Selecting 'Quit' will stop the entire WebGate application. If WG Admin or WG Monitor are running, they will need to be exited individually.
If WebGate is running as a Windows NT system service, the last option is 'Stop'. This will stop the WebGate Server service from running. If the WG Admin or WG Monitor programs are running, they will need to be quit out of individually.
If WebGate has been setup to run as a Windows 9x or Windows NT service, it will start automatically each time the computer is restarted. Otherwise, you must start WebGate manually from the Windows start menu. (or add it to the computer's startup group).
