# Configure Gateway Area Network

**Sepasoft MES Module Suite**

### Configure Gateway Area Network

The Ignition Gateway Network allows you to connect multiple Gateways together over a wide area network. This creates a Gateway Area Network (GAN), and opens up many distributed features between Gateways.

The Ignition Gateway provides connection setup and administration settings.

Reference to the Ignition docs (search Inductive Automation Ignition manual > Gateway Network) for details on how to set this up.
