This document contains important information about connecting a Mobile Access Portal Gateway (MAP Gateway) to your network. From an IT perspective, a system device such as a MAP Gateway is simply a node on the network. However, MAP Gateway uses communication protocols, security methods, and other technologies that you should consider carefully.
Important: Engage appropriate network security professionals to ensure that the
certificates are handled securely. Network security is an important issue. Typically,
the IT organization must approve configurations that expose networks to the Internet. Be
sure to fully read and understand IT compliance documentation for your site. Use care
when performing steps on system components because restarts may be required that
conflict with compliance requirements. For example, upgrading firmware or installing new
SSL certificates may require the computer be offline for a period of time.
