INTERFACING WITH THE OPENFOX MESSAGE SWITCH:
The OpenFox® Message Switch supports all law enforcement devices across the enterprise, interfacing with the national systems such as Nlets and NCIC, as well as in-state information sources to seamlessly provide secure access to these interfaces regardless of the access requirements, message formats, and protocols. The OpenFox® Message Switch provides message transformations for legacy text interfaces and XML interfaces utilizing the AAMVA standards, Nlets XML, or other forms of GJXDM/NIEM as well as the ability to easily add support for additional protocols to make them operate in a standard manner.
The OpenFox® System also provides communications connectors that support legacy protocols, such as TN3270 or TN3270E and others for communicating with mainframes, Nlets TCP/IP for communicating with Nlets, NCIC TCP/IP for communicating with NCIC 2000 and literally dozens of specialized application to application TCP/IP protocols. All of these communications connectors are available for new installations.
