Application Gateway Overview
Note
The Application Gateway 2000 is an appliance containing software
and an IBM xSeries 306m server. The IBM documentation that is
shipped with the IBM server includes rack mounting instructions,
physical specifications, safety information, and operating and
environmental information. The Application Gateway 2000 is not
user-serviceable, therefore the IBM documentation that covers
tasks such as opening the server and replacing parts do not apply
to the Application Gateway. Defective Application Gateways
should be returned to Nortel.
The Nortel Application Gateway 2000 delivers business
applications to the screens and speakers of Nortel IP
telephones. The applications delivered to Nortel IP Phones
and other devices include Nortel Voice Office applications
and Nortel Guest Services.
The location of an Application Gateway in a network is largely based on
the configuration of the existing network. The flexible deployment of the
Application Gateway enables you to connect it to application servers,
routers, firewalls, and switches. For information on integrating
Application Gateways into your network, refer to the Application Gateway
Network Integration Guide.
