Setting the Tracking Server Connector Data Link Properties
In order for Tracking Server to communicate properly with the Gateway and the rest of the web component of Tracking Server, you must follow these steps to set up the Tracking Server Connector data link.
- Add the Tracking Server Controller icon to the Windows tray by going to Start > Programs > ArcGIS Tracking Server > Tracking Server Controller.
- Right-Click on the Tracking Server Controller icon in the Windows system tray to display the list of Windows services provided by Tracking Server.

- Select Start.
The Tracking Gateway service is now running.

The icon in the bottom left corner turns green to indicate that Tracking Server is running.
- Click the Data Links tab in Tracking Server Manager.

- Click the plus sign to add a connection.
The default host name is localhost, and the default port number is 5505. If necessary, make any changes appropriate to your gateway configuration.

You should see the Connection Status field change to "Connected", and the message in the bottom left corner of the dialog box should change to Data Link Running.
