Use an Administrator User id for the complete IG installation operation. You will need the user id and password to configure later the InterGate services.

Installing the Loopback adapter. The Loopback adapter will ensure the security of the server against hacker attacks coming from inside/outside the LAN.
Download the loopback adapter package from the site: ftp://www.arrowlink.com/software/loop.zip 
Extract the files to any temporary directory (e.g. c:\temp) 
Run the Hardware wizard and add the Loopback adapter (vloop.inf).
At the end of the installation you will see the Loopback adapter network connection at the network settings of the server.

Configuring the Loopback adapter
For security reasons, the Loopback adapter will be the only adapter binded to the TCP/IP protocol (disable all other protocols).
Configure the TCP/IP protocol of the loopback adapter as follows:
IP address: 192.168.54.253
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.54.254
Preferred DNS server: 192.168.54.254
The default gateway and DNS server will point to the LOOP adapter that will be created later under the InterGate interface.

Preparing the Network connections used by the IG system.
Name WAN the Windows network connection that will be used to connect to the Net.
Name LAN the Windows network connection that will be used to connect to the local network. 
Name LOOP the Windows network connection that will be used for the loopback adapter.

Unbind all protocols from the LAN and WAN cards. For security reasons the IP protocol will be handled by the InterGate Server driver.

Installing the IG module Download the latest version of the software from the Service Manager section of the DTLink Inc. site: www.arrowlink.com.
Launch the Setup file and follow the installation instructions.
At the Windows Password screen you should provide the Administrator’s password. The system needs the Administrator’s password in order to access the server resources while running as a service.
Reboot your computer at the end of the InterGate installation procedure.

IG Manual Setup
Run the IG for the first time: Start, Programs, DTLink Inc, InterGate.

You will need to configure the IG server manually as described below through the IG module interface:

Create the WAN port (IG) (Ports, New Port)
This port will handle the access to the Net.
In our sample configuration we’ll be configuring the port for a DSL connection:
Port Name: WAN
Method: PPP over Ethernet
Using: WAN
Port type: NAT
Services: any
User Name: dtlink@att.com
Password: *******
Allow Auto Connect: checked
Maintain Permanent Connection: checked.
See a sample PPPoE configuration.
See a sample Ethernet configuration over a router.

Create the LAN port (IG) (Ports, New Port)
This port will handle the local network and the client devices.
Port Name: LAN
Method: Ethernet
Using: LAN
Use Static IP Address: checked
Address: 172.16.0.254 Mask: 255.255.0.0 Router: 0.0.0.0
Port type: Standard
Can Serve DHCP: checked
See a sample LAN port configuration.

Create the LOOP port (IG) (Ports, New Port)
This port will be used as the routing interface for security reasons.
Port Name: LOOP
Method: Ethernet
Using: LOOP
Use Static IP Address: checked
Address: 192.168.54.254 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 0.0.0.0
Port type: Standard
See a sample LOOP port configuration.

Define the DHCP ranges (Network, DHCP Setup)
These will be the IP addresses attributed to the DHCP client devices by the server.
Maximum Clients: 1000
DHCP Enabled: checked
Check If Address Is Already In Use: checked
See a sample DHCP configuration

Update the server’s browser proxy settings: proxy server=localhost, port=8080
See a sample configuration

Configure the Recovery options of the IP and RapidCache services
The IG server uses two services: Vicomsoft IP Service and the Vicomsoft RapidCache Service that should run without interruption.
Under Windows 2000 or above you should configure the option of every service to Restart the Service in all failure types.
See a sample configuration

Configure the IG server access name.
The IG server will be accessed by the www.arrowlink.com server through the IP address or the DNS name. It is strongly recommended that you use fixed IP or DNS domain name for the IG server.
See a sample Fixed IP configuration

If you are behind a router you should open the 1500 port on the router.
See a sample router configuration

Configure the HotSpot Location entry at the iCard-MIS Web interface.
Once the IG server access name has been configured, you should create the location in the iCard-MIS interface: Location Properties. Remember: IP/DNS name field should contain the IG server IP or DNS name as defined on step 14.

Configure the HotSpot Location properties at the iCard-MIS Web interface.
Once the HotSpot Location created, you should update the location properties to meet your business requirements.

At this point you should be able to REBOOT the server and access the Internet using the server browser.

Test the proper function of the system. Open the browser and try to connect to a popular site like: www.yahoo.com. You should be redirected to the location's default portal.
