The NetCom provides communication secured by SSL and AES-256 bit keys. This is implemented by openVPN tunnel software, which is Open Source and royalty-free for Server and Client software. Whith openVPN enabled the whole communication whith the NetCom runs through the secure tunnel. All data is automatically secured without implementing SSL into customers applications. SSL also protects the configuration and access to the attached serial devices. In contrast to static key encryption the SSL function identifies each communication using unique certificates, so it is easy to allow or deny access per user. In addition to allowing serial devices to get networked, any host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can also access remote serial device via adding NetCom devices to the existing serial port. NetCom 411 PRO V2 can be configured over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP and serves as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation.   Application Industrial / Factory / Laboratory automation SCADA system Building automation system Self-service banking system Remote Monitoring Automatic warehouse control system Wafer fabrication system Other remote and distributed serial devices control   Hardware Processor ARM 9 166 MHz I/O controller 16C950 or compatible Memory 16MB SDRAM, 2 MB Flash Connector type DSUB 9 male for serial Port RJ45 for Ethernet >Back to top         Interface Ethernet interface Auto-detecting 10BaseT/100BaseTx Protocols TCP/IP, UDP, Telnet, PPP, DHCP, ICMP, HTTP, LPD, SNMP V1/2c/3, DNS Serial interface RS232 No. of port 4 Available Modes RS232 full duplex Signals TxD,RxD, RTS,CTS, DTR,DSR, DCD, RI, GND >Back to top         Performance Speed up to 500 kbps Parity None, even, odd, space, mark Data bits 5, 6, 7, 8 Stop bits 1, 1.5, 2 IRQ None I/O address None >Back to top         Operating Modes Driver mode VScom Driver for Windows NT 4.0, 2000 up to 7, Server 2000 up to 2008 R2, both x86 and x64 Editions. The Driver creates a virtual Com port, using Vscom NetCom protocol. TCP Raw Server Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Accepts multiple incoming connections. TCP Raw Client Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Connects to multiple hosts or devices waiting for incoming connections. TCP Advanced Settings Special settings for user-defined modes UDP Mode Raw data transfer by UDP. The NetCom is client and server at the same time. Timeout functionality, maximum packet size and a configurable trigger string define the packets of incoming data to send over UDP Null Modem Tunnel Connecting two NetCom used as virtual null modem cable. IP Modem The serial port emulates a standard modem. Operates by AT-commands, and dials to IP-Addresses instead of phone numbers. Windows "INF"-Driver provided for installation. Print Server The NetCom accepts print jobs, and spools them to the attached serial printer. Operates as of RFC1197, similar to the line printer daemon in Unix-systems PPP net A Modem attached to a serial port provides Dial-In/-Out. This allows access to the serial ports without a dedicated Ethernet connection. >Back to top         Power and Environment Power requirements 9 - 30V DC, 350mA @ 12V Power supply Adapter 12V DC, 1A. Connected by Terminal block Dimension 167× 99×29 mm³ (W×L×H) 189×102×30 mm³ with DB9 connector and DIN rail mounting kit Operating Temp 0°C - 55°C Storage Temp −20°C – 85°C Case SECC sheet metal (1mm) Weight 0.4kg >Back to top         Special Features Installation Configuration utility automatically finds NetCom devices in the network Operating mode Automatic mode switching between Driver and TCP RAW mode. With TCP Advanced settings it is possible to configure the NetCom for using it in multiple modes, so it decides automatically which mode should be used. PPP Access Dial-In to a modem attached to a serial port using Point to Point Protocol. TCP/IP is transported over the serial line, allowing access to configuration and the serial ports, even without Ethernet. A Dial-Out option is also provided. Configuration Configuration over Driver Panels, NetCom Manager, WEB Browser, serial console, Telnet, SNMP SNMP special VScom MIB included DNS Domain Name Server support Firewall Special precautions for Firewall environments Firmware Firmware update over WEB Browser, Telnet, ComPort LEDs LEDs for Power, serial Tx, Rx, Ethernet Link, Speed >Back to top         Security Password access Every capabilities of configuration use the same password including SNMP V3 Secure communication OpenVPN™ SSL tunnel provides security on Ethernet and Internet. The tunnel protects configuration and serial data, especiall convenient to use across the Internet. OpenVPN software is available for many systems, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Strong encryption by AES up to 256 bit keys. >Back to top         Ordering Information Part Number 679 Product Name NetCom 411 PRO Part Number 679V2 (supports SSL) Product Name NetCom 411 PRO V2 Packing list NetCom 411 PRO Power supply adapter 12V, 1000mA CD-ROM with Driver and configuration software Printed Quick Installation Guide >Back to top         Optional Accessories DK 35A DIN-Rail mounting kit >Back to top
