Section 2 — Hardware Installation
Installing the Content Gateway
The Content Gateway is one or more PCs and folders in which branding
elements are stored. These branding elements may be defined for use by
Maestro channels and deployed to those channels with the Maestro Config-
uration Editor and Maestro Deployment Center applications. It is recom-
mended that a single PC be used to host the Content Gateway; although, it
is possible to use more than one.
For simplicity, it may be desirable to install the Content Gateway on the
Maestro Deployment PC. The discussion which follows assumes the
Deployment PC is used as the Content Gateway.
Note Content Gateway folders may be installed on one or more PCs, including the
Deployment PC, if desired; however, to protect the Maestro LAN, all Content
Gateway PC(s) should be behind the VPN firewall as illustrated in
Figure 32 .
Figure 32 shows an example of the LAN configuration which connects the
Deployment PC and Content Gateway to the House LAN on which
branding element production takes place.
