IPm Advanced Security

Firewall Protection
SIXNET's Linux-based IPm controllers and RTUs offer security features to protect your industrial systems where you need it most -- right on the plant floor. "IPtables" creates firewall protection restricting traffic to or from select IP addresses. You can even restrict the use of protocols (port numbers) for added protection. This well trusted Linux application is easily configured with a convenient Rules Wizard provided with the
SXIPM-SAFE option of the I/O Tool Kit software.

Soar your security to new heights with Linux IPm

The ET-GT-ST-3 with its dual Ethernet ports and industrial ratings is
well suited as an industrial firewall right on your plant floor.

Add Authentication to Serial Links
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) uses user names and password to authenticate links before it allows messages to be transmitted. PPP is the protocol used by Internet providers to pass secure IP traffic through telephone modems. PPP can be used in IPm controllers to protect serial communications through serial links, including existing full duplex wireless connections. Use the SXIPM-PPP option to add authentication to your serial messaging.

Protect Existing Systems
Need robust protection for an existing system? Please consider the industrially rated
ET-GT-ST-3. Two Ethernet ports provide a firewall between your WAN (wide area) and LAN (local) network. The RS-232 port can provide PPP authentication over an existing full duplex serial link.
