7.1 Starting the Exchange Gateway
Before you start the Exchange Gateway, make sure that it has network access to the following locations:
-

The Exchange server. You should have already provided access when you configured the Exchange side of the gateway, as described in Section 5.0, Configuring the Exchange Side of the Exchange Gateway.
Follow the instructions for the installation method you chose for the Exchange Gateway (worksheet item 7):
IMPORTANT:After you start the gateway, stop and then start the MTAs in the GroupWise system. This establishes the links to the non-GroupWise domain that represents the Exchange system.
