Overview
Introduction
The NPort? 6000 is a terminal server that uses the TLS and SSH protocols to transmit encrypted serial data over Ethernet. Up to 32 serial devices of any type can be connected to the NPort? 6000, using the same IP address. The Ethernet port can be configured for a normal or secure TCP/IP connection. The NPort? 6000 secure device servers are the right choice for applications that use large numbers of serial devices packed into a small space. Security breaches are intolerable and the NPort? 6000 Series ensures data transmission integrity with support for AES encryption algorithm. Serial devices of any type can be connected to the NPort? 6000, and each serial port on the NPort? 6000 can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 transmission.
The NPort? 6000 is a reliable device server that provides users with secure serial-to-Ethernet data transmission and a customer-oriented hardware design. If the Ethernet connection fails, the NPort? 6000 will queue all serial data in its internal 64 KB port buffer. When the Ethernet connection is re-established, the NPort? 6000 will immediately release all data in the buffer in the order that it was received. Users can increase the port buffer size by installing an SD card.
