Overview
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, andpull low resistors for RS-485 communication. In some criticalenvironments, termination resistors may be needed to prevent thereflection of serial signals, and the pull high and pull low resistors mayneed 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 serialport using built-in DIP switches.
