Adding MDM Gateway Server

  • Article

By using Mobile Device Manager Console, you can install additional computers to run MDM Gateway Server in your MDM environment. First, you must install System Center Mobile Device Manager on every computer where you want to run MDM Gateway Server.

These steps assume the following:

  • The computer meets hardware requirements and prerequisite software is installed
  • The administrator knows the external IPsec address and the URL for the access point; these values were entered during Setup for the first MDM Gateway Server installation
  • The administrator has imported and installed the server certificate and certification chain from a server that has certification authority
  • The deployment does not use load balancing for MDM Gateway Server; or, it uses manual Domain Name System (DNS) configuration to distribute incoming requests

To add MDM Gateway Server to an enterprise

  1. From MDM Console, expand Mobile Device Manager, and then select Gateway Management.

  2. Right-click Gateway Management and then select Add MDM Gateway Wizard.

  3. The Introduction page appears. In the Gateway Name box, type the name of the new MDM Gateway Server, and then choose Next.

  4. On the Access Points page, type the external IPsec address and the access point name. Accept the default port, or type an alternative port, and then choose Next.

    Note

    The access point port should be the same port that you specified during MDM Gateway Server Setup.

  5. If you do not want to create an IP address pool for devices supported by the new server, on the Address Pool page, choose Next.

    If you do want to create an IP address pool, choose Add. The Network Subnet dialog box appears. Type the IP address of the beginning of the address pool and then type an appropriate subnet mask. Choose Next.

    Note

    Setup calculates the IP addresses in the range represented by the base address and subnet. Then, it creates the range automatically.

  6. On the DNS/WINS page, type the IP addresses for your preferred Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers, and enter the routing information. You can leave these boxes blank. Choose Next.

  7. On the Add Gateway page, review the settings. If you have to make changes, choose Back. When you are satisfied with the settings, choose Add.

  8. When Setup is complete, the Completion page appears. Choose Finish to close the wizard.
