Gateways Behind Firewalls

Purpose

The purpose of this section is to provide the rationale behind the implementation of the ENGAGE Gateway WebSockets feature, provide a base level understanding of how the feature works and why our ENGAGE Alliance Partners may want to use it, as well as to outline specifics of the communication protocol and discuss possible network architectures.

When an ENGAGE Alliance Partner chooses to set up their own Host Server, they will be placing the Gateways behind their own firewall in order to apply enhanced security and control over their overall organization's door access, entry, exit, and maintenance.

NOTE: Allegion has provided the code and instructions necessary for our ENGAGE Alliance Partners to set up their own Proof-of-Concept WebSocket Server as outlined in the Section Implementing a Proof-of-Concept WebSocket Server.
