A functional TCP/IP connection is required between IOAGATE and the client application, that is,

• Control‑M/EM
• Control‑D/Page On Demand
• Control‑D Session Agent
• IOAGATE (for Control‑O to Control‑O and for CTJMON to CTJMON connections)

Any network topology configuration that supports TCP/IP (hardware and software) can be used, as long as TCP/IP connections can be established between IOAGATE and the client application workstation. Connectivity should be verified before you start the client application, for example, by using the ping command, Telnet commands, or other TCP/IP applications to test.
