Installing the Content Gateway
Installing the Content Gateway
The Content Gateway is one or more customer-provided 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 Configuration Editor and Maestro Deployment Center appli-
cations. It is recommended 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 information 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 242 .
Figure 242 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. This is an example, the actual
installation will vary depending on your (that is the customer’s) facilities
and IT resources.
