3. Creating a Gate instance.

If not already done, the Gate instances responsible for accessing the monitored Fore nodes have to be configured in the database as well. A Gate instance is created as a Software Module object of the host where it is operating (the corresponding physical node instance must have been previously created in the DB editor). In the property windows of Gate, the network administrator has to specify the corresponding PollTimer intervall and the IP address of the Gate host. The Fore nodes to be monitored by the Gate instance in question are assigned to it by choosing the Managed Nodes card in the properties window of Gate, moving the desired Fore nodes from the left to the right selection list and choosing the apply button.
