Jungo and Gteko Make Home Network Setup Easy

New RGSetup Wizard from Gteko optimized for Jungo’s OpenRG software, automates initial set-up process of OpenRG-based routers and gateways, lowering total support cost for OEMs

 SAN JOSE, Calif. And TEL-AVIV, Israel, May 24, 2004

Gteko Ltd., a leading provider of support automation software solutions, and Jungo Software Technologies, Inc. a leading provider of residential/SOHO gateway software, announced today the introduction of the RGSetup Wizard, a new PC based setup wizard that simplifies initial configuration of home networks using routers and gateways powered by Jungo’s OpenRG.

The RGSetup Wizard is a fully automated wizard running on one of the LAN PCs, providing home users with a step-by-step mechanism to configure their PC and router and install a home network. The Wizard’s fully automated setup process is achieved through system diagnostics and configuration of both the PC and the OpenRG-based routers and gateways, making it a powerful differentiator for PC OEMs, router vendors and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The RGSetup Wizard supports major types of broadband and home networking devices including cable-routers, xDSL and stand-alone routers.

“The RGSetup Wizard further simplifies home network installations by automating both PC and router configuration,” said Yaal Eshel, Marketing Director of Jungo. “Integrating Gteko’s PC-based support automation software with Jungo’s gateway software enables painless configuration of otherwise complicated environments.”

“Jungo’s market leading position as software provider for home/SOHO gateways ensures that the RGSetup Wizard will be compatible with a wide range of devices using OpenRG,” said Arnon Catalan, VP BD of Gteko.

Unlike common setup wizards which only configure the router/residential gateway, the RGSetup Wizard also configures the LAN PC. Furthermore, the RGSetup Wizard takes advantage of Gteko’s diagnostic capabilities to conduct a fully automated configuration process, minimizing the need to prompt the user for system and router information.

The RGSetup Wizard is available for evaluation as a downloadable executable file from Jungo.
