2.12.4 Opening a Configuration from a System

The initial IP address ranges in which Branch Gateway Manager searches for systems are set through the Branch

Gateway Manager preferences (File | Preferences | Discovery ). By default it scans the local network of the Branch

Gateway Manager PC.

1.Start Branch Gateway Manager. If Branch Gateway Manager is already started and a configuration is open in it,

that configuration must be closed first.

· If Branch Gateway Manager is set to Auto Connect on start up , it will scan for systems automatically

and either display the list of systems discovered or automatically start login to the only system discovered.

· Otherwise, click on or select File | Open Configuration.

2.The Select B5800 window appears, listing those systems that responded.

· If the system required was not found, the Unit/Broadcast Address used for the search can be changed.

Either enter an address or use the drop-down to select a previously used address. Then click Refresh to

perform a new search.

· The address ranges used by Branch Gateway Manager for searching can be configured through the File |

Preferences | Discovery tab.

· A list of known systems can be stored and used. See Known System Discovery

· Branch Gateway Manager can be configured to search using DNS names. See the Use DNS option.

· Systems found but not supported by the version of Branch Gateway Manager being used will be listed as Not

Supported.

· If the system detected is running software other than from its primary folder, a warning icon will be

shown next to it. The configuration can still be opened but only as a read-only file.

3.When you have located the system required, check the box next to the system and click OK.

4.The system name and password request is displayed. Enter the required details and click OK.

5.Additional messages will inform you about the success or failure of opening the configuration from the system.

· The method of connection, secure or insecure, attempted by Branch Gateway Manager is set the applications

Secure Communications preferences setting.

· When Secure Communications is set to On, a padlock icon is displayed at all times in the lower right

Branch Gateway Manager status field.

· New installations of Branch Gateway Manager default to having Secure Communications enabled. This

means Branch Gateway Manager by default attempts to use secure communications when opening a

configuration.

· If no response to the use of secure communication is received after 5 seconds, Branch Gateway Manager will

offer to fallback to using unsecured communications.

6.Following a successful log in, the configuration is opened in Branch Gateway Manager. The menus and options

displayed will depend on the type of system configuration loaded.
