2.3 Gateway

The gateway enables the communication between the anchors and the Bline servers via TCP/IP. The gateway as TCP server gets its IP address dynamically from a DHCP server and can be reached via the IP address or host name (BLGD-MAC). The MAC address is mapped on the housing of the gateway (z.B. BLGD-8C8E7601441E). To communicate with the gateway a “.local” is appended to the hostname (MAC address), so in this example:

BLGD-8C8E7601441E.local
