Nokia M2M PLATFORM Network Card User Manual


 
5. NOKIA M2M GATEWAY TRIAL VERSION
The Nokia M2M Gateway Trial Version is intended for trialling the Nokia M2M
Platform technology and for testing purposes in the software development
phase. The server application may be run on the same host as the Nokia M2M
Gateway Trial Version.
Due to the limited connectivity services offered, the Trial Version has restricted
suitability for commercial applications.
5.1 FEATURES
5.1.1 Bearers
The Nokia M2M Gateway Trial Version supports GSM short message service
(SMS) and data calls (CSD) through a GSM terminal attached to the gateway
host machine.
5.1.2 Traffic Optimisation
The Nokia M2M Gateway Trial Version optimises traffic on the wireless path by
carrying out the CORBA naming service lookup for the actual object reference
called. The address is the developer’s chosen text string with which the object
has been registered to the naming service.
This feature optimises the air interface usage for SMS connections and speeds
up the operation of the Nokia M2M Application Development Kit (Nokia M2M
Platform)
5.1.3 Messaging Reliability
The Nokia M2M Gateway Trial Version uses the reliable Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) for Internet connectivity. Wireless communications utilise
message acknowledgement and retransmission for all bearers to ensure
message delivery. In cases where the message cannot be delivered to the
recipient, the originator is informed of the communications failure.
5.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The Nokia M2M Gateway Trial Version is a software product running on
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows 98. In addition, Java 2
Platform Standard Edition 1.3 and Java HotSpot 1.0.1 are required.
