another spring member urging said guiding member to make said first guide portion enter into one of adjacent ones of said card receiving portion.
3. The card fitting mechanism according to claim 2, further comprising a pair of guide frames disposed on said base plate with a space kept therebetween, said guide frames defining opposite ends of an array of said receiving portions.
4. A card fitting mechanism for receiving a card fitted thereto, said card fitting mechanism comprising:
a plurality of card receiving portions arranged parallel to one another, each of said card receiving portions being adapted to receive said card;
a guiding member disposed between adjacent ones of said card receiving portions so as to enter into adjacent ones of said card receiving portions, said guiding member being moved by insertion of said card into only one of said adjacent ones to serve as a guide for guiding insertion of said card into another of said adjacent ones; and
a spring member urging said guiding member in one direction.
5. The card fitting mechanism according to claim 4, wherein said guiding member comprises:
an assembly composed of a plurality of parts connected to one another; and
a spring member urging said assembly so that said parts are arranged along a single straight line.
6. A card fitting mechanism for receiving a card fitted thereto, said card fitting mechanism comprising:
a plurality of card receiving portions arranged parallel to one another, each of said card receiving portions being adapted to receive said card;
a guiding member disposed between adjacent ones of said card receiving portions so as to enter into adjacent ones of said card receiving portions, said guiding member being moved by insertion of said card into only one of said adjacent ones to serve as a guide for guiding insertion of said card into another of said adjacent ones; and
a shaft portion rotatably supporting said guiding member, said guiding member having a first part and a second art, said first part being located on one side of said shaft portion and entering into one of adjacent ones of said card receiving portions, said second part being located on the other side of said shaft portion and entering into the other of adjacent ones of said card receiving portion.
7. The card fitting mechanism according to claim 6, further comprising a stopper for engaging said second part.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for secure message reception from a plurality of remote devices, comprising:
receiving a message at a controller;
obtaining, by the controller, a reverse channel address associated with the received message;
determining, by the controller, whether the received message is associated with at least one of the remote devices;
forwarding the message and the reverse channel address to a routing server when the message is associated with the at least one of the remote devices;
determining, by the routing server, a destination address for the received message based on the reverse channel address, where determining the destination address further comprises:
determining whether the received message is associated with a remote device that is associated with a hosted crypto server or an enterprise crypto server,
routing the received message to the hosted crypto server when the received message is associated with the remote device that is associated with the hosted crypto server, and
routing the received message to the enterprise crypto server when the received message is associated with the remote device that is associated with the enterprise crypto server; and
routing the received message to the destination address.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein a communications protocol employed to transmit the received message is a ReFLEX protocol.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the received message is associated with at least one of the remote devices further comprises:
reviewing header information in the received message.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein determining the destination address further comprises:
retrieving a remote device profile based upon the obtained reverse channel address.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein determining the destination address further comprises:
obtaining the destination address from a remote device.
6. An apparatus for secure message reception from a plurality of remote devices, comprising:
means for receiving a message at a controller;
means for obtaining, by the controller, a reverse channel address associated with the received message;
means for determining, by the controller, whether the received message is associated with at least one of the remote devices;
means for forwarding the message and the reverse channel address to a routing server when the message is associated with the at least one of the remote devices;
means for determining, by the routing server, a destination address for the received message based on the reverse channel address, where the means for determining the destination address comprises:
means for determining whether the received message is associated with a remote device that is associated with a hosted crypto server or an enterprise crypto server,
means for routing the received message to the hosted crypto server when the received message is associated with the remote device that is associated with the hosted crypto server, and
means for routing the received message to the enterprise crypto server when the received message is associated with the remote device that is associated with the enterprise crypto server; and
means for routing the received message to the destination address.
7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein a communications protocol employed to transmit the received message is a ReFLEX protocol.
8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the means for determining whether the received message is associated with at least one of the remote devices further comprises:
means for reviewing header information in the receiving message.
9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the means for determining the destination address further comprises:
means for retrieving a remote device profile based upon the obtained reverse channel address.
10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the means fordetermining the destination address further comprises:
means for obtaining the destination address from a remote device.
