Gateway Design Template (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
With the Gateway design template, you can create a starting point for a gateway device.
Overview
A gateway device is a network infrastructure device that provides connection-sharing services from a single Internet connection to several computers and other devices located on an internal private network.
After you create an initial operating system (OS) design based on the Gateway design template by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, you can customize the OS design to meet your needs by adding new Catalog items.
For more information about how to develop a gateway, see Developing a Gateway.
Security

Gateway Catalog Items
The Gateway design template is located in the Industrial Device category in the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.
By default, when you create a Gateway OS design by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, a set of basic Catalog items is included in the OS design.
In addition to the Catalog items in the design template, and those that you add after the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard has finished, some Catalog items are added when you build the run-time image because of Catalog item dependencies.

Included Catalog Items
The following Catalog items are included in the Gateway design template created by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.
Default Catalog items that are included in the design template do not appear in the wizard. Recommended Catalog items appear as selected in the wizard. You can remove these default recommendations by clearing the associated check boxes in the wizard, if it is necessary.
Note
The following table shows Catalog items in the order that they appear in the Catalog Items View.
