Industrial Ethernet Real-Time Device Servers

Industrial Connectivity

Sixnet's ET-DS and ET-SDS industrial serial-to-Ethernet device servers are ideal for connecting serial-based software applications over Ethernet to remote serial devices. Our high-performance devices offer the latest in advanced IP technology to deliver a rugged solution in a very compact size. Easy to use and flexible, simply use our Quick Configurator for fast setup or powerful Device Manager for more advanced configurations. 

 

Industrial Connectivity Product Highlights

  • Secures data transfers
  • Makes jobs easier
  • Saves time and money


Real-Time Secure Performance

  • Auto-detecting 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet port
  • Universal EIA-RS232/422/485 interface is software selectable which prevents field tampering
  • Serial data tunneling across an IP network with full support for back to back (paired mode) operation
  • Advanced security through AES/3DES encryption over SSH or SSL sessions (SDS model)
  • Next Generation IP support (IPV6) for investment protection and network compatibility
  • Port buffering for data capture and analysis
  • For console management applications, powerful authentication schemes prevent unauthorized access
  • Device Manager software for centralized management and control
  • COM or TTY port control and management for serial-based applications

Reliable Hardware
