Single station network with gateways

In OS2S, gateways can be linked directly to the station as well. By doing this, all devices connected to the gateway also included in the network. These devices only connected to their gateway, the alone link to the station is from the gateway.

As the figure shows below, the network is capable of managing many different gateways like SMS, E-mail or sensor gateways.

When gateways take part in the network, they can use their connection system to build sub-networks. The main gateways that can appear in a network use OS2S are SMS or E-mail gateway. These gateways easily broadcast all messages from the station to addresses and vice versa using the global or mobile network.

The following figure explains some of the connection types that the gateways can adopt in their clients.

The process of transmitting messages is more or less the same as it was in Single station network. First, the Address sends the instantiated message to its gateway, who forwards it to the station. The station first checks the recipient connection and delivers the message if they are linked to each other. When the recipient gateway received the message, it sends to the target address by using its network.

When the station got the message pack, it delivers a submit report to the sender connection. The delivery report sent by the receiver station in case it collected the message. This report delivered to the sender connection via the station both connected to.

The next figure demonstrates the process of sending a message using gateways step by step.

The package sent in this network needs to contain the details of the Addresses. These are crucial for the gateways to know where to forward the message. In Ozeki massages, these pieces of information carried by the From Address and To address fields.
