The NPort® 6600 series of secure device servers is the right choice
for applications that use large numbers of serial devices packed into a
small space. If you're worried about security, you can rest assured
with the NPort® 6600, since it supports DES, 3DES, and AES, the three
most common standards for data encryption. Serial devices of any type
can be connected to the NPort® 6600, and each serial port on the NPort®
can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485
transmission.
LCD Panel Makes Configuration Easy
The NPort® 6600 has a built-in LCD panel for configuration and
selecting operation modes. The panel displays the server name, serial
number, and IP address, and any of the device server's configuration
parameters, such as IP address, netmask, and gateway address, can be
updated easily and quickly.
Adjustable Resistor Values for RS-485 Communication
The NPort® 6600 provides adjustable termination, pull high, and pull
low resistors for RS-485 communication. In some critical environments,
termination resistors may be needed to prevent the reflection of serial
signals, and the pull high and pull low resistors may need adjusting to
maintain the integrity of the electrical signal. Since no set of
resistor values works for every environment, the NPort®6600 allows
manual adjustment of the resistor values for each serial port using
built-in DIP switches.
