The following diagrams illustrate various uses of the Gateways in different application environments. While these diagrams are generic, they are all based on actual customer installations. The software support for all of these diagrams is available in every Gateway. The only difference between Gateways is the configuration of ports and expansion capabilities.

Application
Description
IP Conversion for Serial Devices This drawing illustrates a Gateway providing Legacy serial connection for remote IP networks. The Gateway can also be used to connect new, IP-only devices to an existing network.
 
Multidrop Support for Serial Devices This drawing illustrates a Gateway acting as a host to several devices using a multipoint serial protocol. The example uses Teller Machines. The actual equipment could be any polled serial device.
 
Encapsulation This drawing illustrates how the Gateway can be used to provide both ends of a Legacy protocol connection in a router or FRAD-based network. The Gateways emulate both a host and terminal for the respective connections.
 
Branch Bank System This drawing illustrates how a Gateway 530 can support many dissimilar protocols and devices at a single location.
 
Hybrid System This drawing illustrates the flexibility of the Gateway 530 by supporting both local and modem-attached devices.
 
Address Routing This drawing illustrates the flexibility of the Gateway to selective route data to multiple hosts based on the address. The Gateway routes the message to the appropriate destination and performs the required protocol, format and data manipulation.
 
SNA Migration Example This drawing illustrates how one of our customers is using the Gateway 530 as a migration tool to replace Legacy equipment with IP-based equipment while retaining the Legacy protocol network.
 
X.25 Migration Example This drawing illustrates how one of our customers is using the Gateway 700 as a migration tool to replace X.25 equipment with IP-based equipment over a satellite system.
 
Host Routing Example This drawing illustrates how the Gateway 530 can be used as a migration tool for Legacy equipment when moving to an IP-based system.
 
Serial Protocol Conversion with Fallback Example This drawing illustrates how the Gateway 530 can convert one serial protocol to another serial protocol. This diagram also illustrates an alternate path (TCP/IP) for data routing that can be used if the primary path is not available.
 
Expansion Example This drawing illustrates how several Gateway 1000s can be consolidated into a single system. The units can be physically dispersed or centrally located. The Ethernet backbone is used to mesh the units together. The individual units can be independently controlled or managed as a single system. Each system can interface unique outbound protocols and devices.
 
Dial POS Terminal Example This drawing illustrates how the Gateway 1000 can act as a concentrator for dial async Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals. The G1000 provides Visa protocol host emulation and converts the data for input into a host system.
 
X.25 POS Terminal Example This drawing illustrates how the Gateway 1000 can act as a PAD and a concentrator for remote Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals. The POS terminals connect to a local X.25 PAD for connection to the G1000 through an X.25 network. The G1000 provides X.25 PAD and Visa protocol host emulation and converts the data for input into a host system.
 
IP Conversion Example This drawing illustrates how any Gateway with an Ethernet Port can bi-directionally convert TCP/IP to UDP.
 
Data and IP Routing The Gateways offer several routing capabilities, which provide increased flexibility and integrity for the Gateways by allowing data to be directed between different addresses based upon selectable conditions.
