Technical implementationSection 3 : Technical Issues

Target audience
 

Section 3 of this handbook is aimed at gateway staff responsible for technical implementation - Internet specialists who will manage the hardware and software and implement new technical features.

It aims to cover the important decisions that need to be made when setting up a new gateway (such as setting up the system and implementing the user interface) but also covers issues that arise in the day-to-day running of an existing gateway (such as running a link checker).

Each chapter offers some background, practical tips and hints, key references, a glossary, case studies and examples. Watch out for the Cross Reference that will take you to related sections elsewhere in the handbook.
