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.
