Overview
Flexible Encrypted Serial Data Extensions over IP Packet or MPLS Networks
The Black•Tube SER RS232 converts RS232 serial data connections into AES encrypted IP packets, securely extending the serial data over very cost effective Ethernet or MPLS based LAN/WAN/MAN wired and wireless networks. Synchronous, Asynchronous, Isochronous or HDLC serial data is encrypted then encapsulated into IP packets. This facilitates the packet interconnection of Serial: Bulk Encryptors (KIV7/OMNI), Data Terminals, Data Acquisition, SCADA RTUs....
Encrypted Serial over IP
Integrating encryption into the Engage's serial to packet converter means serial control and monitoring traffic is never “in the clear” on the packet network. Additionally, since encryption is done at the source prior to transport over the primary or redundant packet networks, the expensive and complexity of external in line Encryptors is eliminated.
Layer 1 with Isochronous
Asynchronus over IP
HDLC over IP
Black•Tube SER RS232 Standard Features
Dual LAN Interfaces
- Management interface on LAN port 2 when LAN port 1is connected to a VPN tunnel
- Protector Option for Redundant Packet Path connections with Constant or Switch Over Criteria
Assured Delivery Protocol
Black•Tube SER RS232 Optional Features
Protector Option -PRO
The protector option utilizes the second LAN interfaceas a redundant path for the interconnection of the IP encapsulated SER RS232 data. The extension of the SER RS232 has a fault tolerant link that is configured to always on, or with switch over criteria.
Serial Redundancy Option -Y
The Serial Redundancy option is used to switch the RS232 connection to a secondary IPTube in the case of a network or equipment failure maximizing network availability by providing complete hardware redundancy for mission critical applications.
Applications
Black•Tube SER RS232 for Encrypted Serial Data Over IP/Ethernet Connections
The "Purpose Built" Engage Black•Tube SER RS232 encapsulates and encrypts synchronous or HDLC serial data from Data Terminal or Data Communication Equipment such as Bulk Encryptors (KIV7/OMNI), Terminal Servers, Modems, Video Codecs, WAN Routers into IP packets. The IP connection provides for the transparent interconnection of Data Terminal/Communication Equipment via LANs, WANs, MANs, Satellite and Wireless Ethernet. The size and frequency of the IP packets can be set to bit rates from 2.4 Kilobits per second to 250 Kilobits per second with N times 2.4K, 56K and 64K clocking.
Flexible RS232 Serial Data Extensions over IP
Black•Tube SER RS232 facilitates the transport of bulk data across a combination of IP and TDM WAN infrastructures. The Black•Tube SER RS232 are deployed flexibly to support internetworking across varied LAN/WAN/MAN networks.
WAN Data Over IP
Black•Tube SER RS232 provides a transparent bandwidth regulated IP Tunnel for securely interconnecting remote Networks. WAN Protocols, such as PPP and Frame Relay, that utilize HDLC framing are encapsulated with HDLC Over IP. Broadband Service providers are able to transport Enterprise Wide Area Network connections with inband management of the Committed Information Rates. The Black•Tube SER RS232's IP Tunnel can also be utilized as a secondary path for fault tolerant mission critical applications.
