4 Conﬁguring Segments, Portal Gateways

and Controllers

This chapter contains detailed steps to perform the following tasks:

 Task 6: Create your Segment

 Task 7: Add and Conﬁgure Portal Gateways

 Task 10: Sign on and Conﬁgure Controllers

After segment creation, this chapter discusses Portal Gateway and Controller

conﬁguration. However, it is perfectly acceptable to add Users, User Groups and

any special Timezones you will need before conﬁguring Portals and Control-

lers. An advantage to adding Users and User Groups before you add Portals and

Controllers is that they will be available as you conﬁgure each new Portal and

Controller in the system. You can also add Portals, Controllers, users and user

groups as you go, building the system in any way that makes it efﬁcient with the

data that you have available.

Note The terms “Controller” and “Reader” are used synonymously throughout this

chapter.
