The NetLink OAI Gateway 

The NetLink OAI Gateway enables third-party applications to communicate directly 
with up to 10,000 NetLink Wireless Telephones, allowing users to retrieve and 
respond to information using their handsets.  
The NetLink OAI Gateway is available in two models and several scaled capacity 
levels, please be sure that the OAI Gateway being configured has the appropriate 
capacity for your implementation.

As shown in the diagram below, a single NetLink OAI Gateway is connected to the 
site’s Local Area Network (LAN) via an Ethernet switch. The connection to the 
OAI Application Server can be accomplished by a direct connect (RS-232) or 
through the Ethernet connection, but may run only via one connection at a time. 
During setup, the IP address of the NetLink OAI Gateway must be set. Once the IP 
address is established, the Gateway can be accessed by the application server via the 
RS-232 port or the LAN via telnet.
