The Gateway Address is the term used to force the Toolpack application to use specific network interfaces, also referred to TBX_GW_ADDRESS_0 and TBX_GW_ADDRESS_1 or TbxGwAddr0 and TbxGwAddr1.

It is mandatory to set those value when the host server has more than 2 network interfaces. Otherwise, the applications may not be able to see each other.

The TbxGwAddr0 and TbxGwAddr1 can be set when running the Toolpack installer (Custom Panel). TBX_GW_ADDRESS_0 and TBX_GW_ADDRESS_1 can also be edited directly in the ''[InstallDir]''/toolpack/setup/''[MajorVersion]''/toolpack.ini file. If toolpack.ini is modified manually, the Toolpack system needs to be restarted.
