If the 2X HTML5 Gateway is installed behind the 2X Secure Proxy Gateway (Basic Installation), this option is not required. interface IP on which the 2X HTML5 Gateway listens. To listen on all available IPs please use If the 2X HTML5 Gateway is installed behind the 2X Secure Proxy Gateway (Basic Installation), it is recommended to set this option to so that only connections from the 2X Secure Proxy Gateway are serviced. createdefaults true When set to true, every new client will have a Default Connection available on startup. This is recommended for basic Installation. In this mode you can add multiple 2X Secure Proxy Gateways behind the 2X HTML5 Gateway. The client needs to setup a connection with the host name or IP of which 2X Secure Proxy Gateways will connect to. A typical example would be a 2X HTML5 Gateway which serve multiple farms.
