Mobile Device Manager (MDM) Gateway Server resides in the perimeter network and is used for communication between the managed Windows Mobile devices, the company network, and MDM Device Management Server. Generally, MDM Gateway Server is not domain-joined with the company network and can be accessed within the company local area network (LAN) through MDM Device Management Server. For encrypted information transfer between the managed device and MDM Gateway Server, you must install a certificate on MDM Gateway Server. For trusted IPsec communication, you must also install certification authority certificates on MDM Gateway Server.
