Note The default IP address of the 3COM VPN Firewall appliance is 192.168.1.1. It
is configured as a DHCP server and will assign a 192.168.1.x address to the
USB NIC. If you desire a different subnet range for the VPN Firewall, consult
the 3COM OfficeConnect documentation for instructions on changing the
default IP address and DHCP address assignment range.
Consult the 3COM OfficeConnect VPN Firewall documentation for
instructions on configuring the LAN/DMZ ports, firewall settings and
other features of interest in the VPN Firewall appliance.
Once the LAN connections and firewall are properly configured as illus-
trated in
Figure 242 , the Content Gateway may be installed and accessed
from the branding element production LAN.
Content Gateway Configuration Process
The Content Gateway folders must be configured so that the content can be
accessed. You will need to create a shared folder on the Deployment/
Content Gateway PC and then map this shared folder. The steps to create a
shared drive and map a drive are explained below.
Follow these steps to configure the Content Gateway:
1. On the Deployment/Content Gateway PC, create the folders in which
you wish to store branding content transferred from the branding
element production computers.
Note Depending on the number and size of branding elements you anticipate
storing and deploying to Maestro channels, if using the Deployment PC as the
Content Gateway, you may wish to install a separate hard drive specifically for
this purpose.
The folder structure in which branding elements are stored on the Content
Gateway is not fixed. Any folder structure that allows for the logical orga-
nization of branding elements and makes it easy to transfer them from the
production LAN to the Content Gateway can be used. However, the folder
structure illustrated in
Figure 245 (or something similar) is recommended.
