The OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform is built on the following three logical components: 
•  OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway — An enhanced remote access server that deploys 

at the edge of the enterprise network. 

•  OmniAccess 3500 NLG card — An intelligent EV-DOrA data card that plugs into the 

end-user laptop and includes a processor, non-volatile memory, and independent 
power.  

•  Management system software — A management platform that can be installed in 

any general-purpose enterprise server (including the OmniAccess 3500 NLG 
gateway). In the OmniAccess 3500 NLG R1.2 the management system software is 
always embedded in the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway. 

Figure 1 displays the OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform components. 

 

After receiving the box with the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card, the end user downloads 
the client software (a collection of Windows drivers and applications that enable the 
laptop for OmniAccess 3500 NLG functionality) from the OmniAccess 3500 NLG support 
website (the URL is printed on the end user welcome card that comes with the box). 
The laptop activates the client software the first time the card is plugged in. 

The OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway combines the following physical and functional 

elements: 
•  Two network interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet), of which one is external 

(handling traffic to and from the public Internet) and one internal (facing the inner 
portion of the enterprise network). 

•  A processing subsystem (CPU, OS, and management system software) that 

implements the OmniAccess 3500 NLG functions.
