Using gateways as an alternative to light weight pollers

A gateway is a MobiLink object, stored in MobiLink system tables or a Notifier properties file, that contains information about how to send messages for server-initiated synchronization. They are an alternative to light weight pollers and require a constant network connection.

Gateway properties are configured on a MobiLink server. You can configure multiple gateways on a single MobiLink server. See MobiLink server settings for server-initiated synchronization.

Supported gateways

The following gateways are supported on the MobiLink server:

SYNC gateway The SYNC gateway is a TCP/IP-based gateway; push notifications are sent through the same protocol as your MobiLink synchronizations.
The default SYNC gateway is named Default-SYNC. Typically, the default gateway settings do not need to be changed.

See SYNC gateway properties.
UDP gateway The UDP gateway sends push notifications through a UDP gateway.
The default UDP gateway is named Default-UDP. Typically, the default gateway settings do not need to be changed. MobiLink Listeners use UDP by default when listening for push notifications.

See UDP gateway properties.
SMTP gateway The SMTP gateway sends push notifications using an email-to-SMS carrier service.
The default SMTP gateway is named Default-SMTP.

See SMTP gateway properties.
