The JBIPGW02 gateway runs under any Java-capable platform that supports Java 1.1 or higher. The JBIPGW02 gateway redirects IP packets from a client to a server. It can be used if a direct connection between client and server is not possible or not desired. You can also use use JBIPGW02 in the "demilitarized zone."
With the help of JBIPGW02 the data traffic can be output on the console or into a file (trace).
The JBIPGW02 gateway requires a Java VM Version 1.1 or higher.
JBIPGW02 reads its configuration parameters from an .ini-file. The .ini-file can be edited with any usual ASCII-editor. Please note that this .ini file must observe the conventions for .ini files under Windows NT.
JBIPGW02 is started by using the runtime environment installed on the platform (e.g. Java or jview). When JBIPGW02 is started, the first parameter specifies the name of the .ini-file.
java JBIPGW02 xyz.ini
If you want to perform a trace you have to add the "trace" parameter. In order to save the trace data in a file (e.g. trace.dat), the standard output must be redirected.
java JBIPGW02 xyz.ini trace > trace.dat.
The .ini file can contain several sections whose name start with GATE and specify the parameters of the connections to the clients and to the servers.
Each section contains the following parameters:
| GATEPORT | Port of the gateway. |
| SERVERINETA | IP address of the server to be connected. |
| SERVERPORT | Port of the server to be connected. |
| TIMEOUT | Timeout (value 0 up to nnn seconds of inactivity). Note: As IP is a connectionless protocol a timeout should be set. We recommend a timeout from one hour to one day. If the value 0 is used, the connection will not be monitored. |
Example:
[GATET01]
GATEPORT=4097
SERVERINETA=hobz01k.hob.de
SERVERPORT=4097
TIMEOUT=7200
[GATET02]
GATEPORT=4098
SERVERINETA=hobz01d.hob.de
SERVERPORT=4097
TIMEOUT=7200
