Pausing and Resuming a Territory Gateway. The pause and resume controls enable you to halt the flow of outbound traffic from a territory gateway to the remote territory. For more information about these using controls, see Pausing and Resuming a Territory Gateway

Configuring the Keep-Alive Setting.The keep-alive setting instructs the territory gateway to issue periodic "keep-alive" messages to the remote territory. You use this option if the territory gateway connects through a firewall that automatically drops connections that are idle for an extended period. For more information about using the keep-alive feature, see Preventing Connection Timeouts between Territories.

Configuring the Forwarding Mode. The forwarding mode determines how a territory gateway maintains the subscription list for the remote territory. For more information about specifying the forwarding mode, see Configuring the Forwarding Mode.

Blocking Document Type Updates. By default, any document type that territories are permitted to exchange is automatically synchronized if either territory makes a change to that document type. You can use the "refuse update" option to suppress this behavior on one or both territory gateways. For information about blocking updates, see Refusing Document-Type Updates.
