purchase this feature, contact IBM® Support.
Procedure

If the Enterprise Gateway feature is enabled, the
Enterprise Gateway
window displays a list of the available relay servers (for Relay access mode only). The servers on
this list might be different depending on your account settings.
Note: If the Enterprise Gateway
feature is not enabled, contact IBM
Support.
- Download Cloud
Extender and obtain the
license key.
- Follow the steps in the installation wizard to install Cloud
Extender. When the
installation is complete, the Cloud Extender
Configuration Tool is
displayed.

Extender, the Mobile
Enterprise Gateway (MEG) module might take a few minutes to download. If the Enterprise

services for overall configuration and management.
