Gateway as a component of LAN
This component is used to connect two different LANs which are having dissimilar components. The gateway assists in transferring bits from one LAN to the other. A workstation is dedicated to act as the gateway. Network adapter cards for both types of LANs are inserted in the machine, and a special set of Novell program transfers the bits from one LAN to the other. Similarly a LAN can also be connected to another mainframe computer by a gateway.
