EntraPass Gateways configuration
EntraPass Gateways convert the information received from a controller or a connection and transmits the converted data to the server. Gateways also convert the information received from the server and transmit it to controllers. The gateways may be installed on a dedicated computer, or integrated with another EntraPass workstation.
EntraPass Global Edition supports two types of gateways: Corporate and Global. It also supports KT-NCC gateway functionality. All gateways interface the connections and the server. Except for the KT-NCC, the gateways may be installed on a dedicated computer, or integrated with another EntraPass workstation.
EntraPass Global Edition is shipped with a Global Gateway and KT-NCC Gateway functionality. A single multi-site Gateway can be enabled through the Dual Gateway option without any additional license.
Additional Gateways (Corporate and Global) require additional licenses.
To identify issues with the gateway or check on its status you can run gateway application (Program Files...EntraPass GE/CE...Gateway). This user interface displays information about the Application Status, Connection Status and Performance of the gateway.
