2. VidyoGateway configuration procedure overview

The overall procedure for configuring your VidyoGateway requires cumulative steps performed on both the VidyoPortal and the VidyoGateway as described below. Complete all the following steps on your VidyoGateway and VidyoPortal in the order that they appear below.

However, before you begin, if you have a VidyoGateway Virtual Edition (VE), ensure that you have properly installed it as described in the Install VidyoGateway VE section of the Help. If you are a cloud customer, you do not need to perform any installation.

Note If you are clustering VidyoGateways, perform the entire procedure for each VidyoGateway in your cluster.

Make configurations on your VidyoGateway

To make configurations on your VidyoGateway:

1. Configure your network interface settings in the VidyoGateway System Console. The following criteria should be met:
1. Set your production and management interfaces with IP addresses.
2. Successfully ping your server before proceeding. For more information, see View application and system information.
2. Secure your VidyoGateway server (if applicable). For more information, see VidyoGateway SSL and HTTPS security procedure overview.
3. Register your VidyoGateway to your VidyoPortal by entering your VidyoPortal address in your VidyoGateway. For more information, see Configure the VidyoPortal settings.

Make configurations on your VidyoPortal for your VidyoGateway

To make configurations on your VidyoPortal for your VidyoGateway:

1. Add the VidyoGateway as a component to the video conferencing system.
