Pigeon Gateway
Previous  Top  Next

The Pigeon Gateway has two purposes:
1.It listens to UDP port 2153 for any configuration call from the Pigeon Client. When such a call is intercepted, it sends the name of the Pigeon Server as well as the TCP port number to use in order for the Pigeon Client to connect to the dedicated Pigeon Server.  
2.In a multi Pigeon Server network, the Pigeon Gateway will receive the data from one Pigeon Server and send that data to all other Pigeon Servers connected to it. It has its own database where it can record any transaction. If a Pigeon Server is disconnected for a while, the data will be sent to it when the connection resumes.  

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
The Pigeon Gateway requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed to operate.
