The UT-3302 was released in 2009 and discontinued in 2019. We've depleted our inventory.

We recommend the higher performing XT-hEX as a replacement. The newer XT Family of encrypters offers increased throughput and is 100% compatible with all UT products at a similar price. click here!

DESCRIPTION

The UT-3302 is a compact, industrial temperature rated device (Internet Appliance) that tunnels all ethernet protocols (layer2 ethernet) through any UDP/IP connection. The tunnel can be encrypted with AES or non-encrypted. The UT-3302 features five Ethernet LAN ports, a 4 port switch on trusted interface and a serial setup port.

The UT-3302 encrypts data between private networks using the public Internet or any other network as the transport. This creates a flat, bridged network, a private network within public or private networks.

Each UT-3302 can be a client or server. All UT series products operate in server-client combinations (or using multiple clients and servers in a system). The UT-3302 can be a server unit for other UT-3302s, or PCs running UT-SOFT client software. The UT-3302 can also be a client device bridging it's local LAN to another UT-3302 or UT-6602 configured as a server. The UT-3302 supports up to 8 client UT locations, the UT-6602 supports 50 client UT units. Other models support 100 or more remote UT client locations.

The UT series uses AES 128, 192 or 256 bit encryption. AES is the US Government standard required for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIPS) networks used in electrical power and utility communications. Additional features support the CIPS requirements such as password criteria, login banners, individual port enable/disable, and others.

Each of the four ethernet ports on the trusted side of the UT may be VLAN tagged (802.1q tagging) and interoperate with other VLAN equipment. Or, the UT connection can be configured as a VLAN trunk.

The UT-3302 network interfaces are Ethernet only. The UT-3302 has external 12, 24 and 48 volt options.

The UT series operates through firewalls with only one port of your choice opened. It bridges all Ethernet protocols including IPX, IP, NetBEUI, SIP, streaming, and other proprietary protocols. The UT series is straight-forward, easy to configure and maintain. The UT series has state-of-the-art AES encryption security without the configuration complexity of VPN.

The serial port of the UT-3302 functions as a TCP/IP or UDP/IP serial port "serial-server" or may be used for initial setup of IP address. The serial port may be used for initial IP address configuration. It interoperates with other DCB EtherPath or EtherPoll serial servers, and may be used to provide an AES encrypted serial link through any UDP/IP network.

For encryption of serial RS-232 links not involving ethernet or IP, see our SE-6600 product line.

The UT-3302 is also compatible with our newest XT encrypter series which offer increased throughput. See all XT options here.

Due to the encryption employed in these products, UT series products are export controlled items and are regulated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The UT-6602 and UT-3302 are classified as mass market encryption devices and may not be exported or shipped for re-export to restricted countries in Country Group E:1. They are shippable to most other countries.

APPLICATIONS

How it works

The UT family products create an encrypted tunnel which passes Ethernet packets between two trusted LAN segments. All ethernet protocols are bridged between the UT units. The UT only operates in conjunction with other UT units. One unit is required for each location. Multiple client units may be connected to the same host unit, and a client may be connected to multiple host units (daisy-chained operation). A host unit may be configured to block client-unit to client-unit connections, or to allow them. All UT series units are compatible.

Quick-start guide to the XT family products.
This application note guides the new XT user from opening the boxes to having a working encrypted tunnel between two XT units on a test bench. Step-by-step instructions make it quick and painless to learn the configuration process. Uses the XT-hEX as an example, but also covers other XT products.

Troubleshooting guide for the above Quick-start.
If it didn't go well and doesn't immediately work, this guide offers some troubleshooting hints. Most people won't need this, but it's here if you do.


What Do Those Tunnel Log Entries Mean?
When analyzing logs from DCB Tunnels (XT, UT, ET, and FT), there are often log entries that are surprising to the new user. We discuss those here.


Configuring the LAN3 on the XT-hEX, a Quick-start guide.
Most people won't need this, but if you want to use the third LAN port on the XT-hEX, this information will help you configure it.


All DCB ethenet encryptors operate similarly, with differences being in the protocols, capabilities, and authentication methods. Since the topology is comparable for all of them, we show application notes for all these products together.

DCB's Encryption Product Export Statement
Some of our encryption products are export controlled items and are regulated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Some are classified as mass market encryption devices and may not be exported or shipped for re-export to restricted countries in Country Group E:1. They are exportable to most other countries. Read our Encryption Product Export Statement here for more specifics.

Using XT Tunnels with IP Radio Dispatch Systems.
Radio installers rely on DCB tunnel products to implement secure networks for mission critical applications. DCB Encryptors (XT, UT, and ET roducts) enable IP dispatching across multiple networks. They remove the multi-cast problem faced in many IP network installations so are frequently used along with Telex, Motorola, Kenwood, Harris, Zetron, AVTEC, and other two-way radio consoles. This document describes some of those techniques with examples we've seen at PSAPs and other dispatch centers.

Tunnel Product Security In Perspective.
Our encrypted tunnel appliances provides a LAN -to- LAN encrypted tunnel between locations. It employs a layer three (UDP/IP or TCP/IP) connection between two or more tunnel devices to create a secure, AES encrypted tunnel. For export purposes, the Some models are considered a Mass Market Encryption Device by the Department of State Bureau of Industrial Security and are export limited.

This product line meets HIPPA and most government standards for non-classified data transfer. However, it is not NIST FIPS 140-2 approved. For a FIPS 140 approved product, the (more expensive) FT line of encryption appliances is required. This note discusses the security implications of using our encrypted tunnels.


Redundancy Techniques Using DCB Tunnel Devices and Software.
Users have come to rely on DCB tunnel products to implement secure networks for mission critical applications in which downtime must be kept to a minimum. Thus it is not unusual for customers to ask questions about techniques that may be applied to make the tunnel network more robust. This document describes some of those techniques with examples.

This application note guides the new XT-3306 user from opening the boxes to having a working encrypted tunnel between two XT-3306 units on a test bench. Step-by-step instructions make it quick and painless to learn the configuration process. One difference between the XT and the UT/ET families is that the XT allows the selection of TCP and UDP protocols for the tunnel path.

Motorola MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console VPN Solution Guide
This Motorola produced MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console VPN Solution Guide features a virtual private network (VPN) solution that has been tested with MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console. The VPN solution uses a pair of encrypted Ethernet bridges to provide a secure Ethernet tunnel between the dispatch center and a remote MIP 5000 console. The secure Ethernet tunnel supports a remote console operator receiving audio from and transmitting audio to radio channels and other MIP 5000 consoles using AES encryption.

UT Tunnel Installation Note - "Living On a Wild Feed... Safely"
This short application note summarizes the options and requirements for directly connecting the untrusted interface of UT encrypted tunnels to the Internet. Yes, the UT tunnels may be safely living on the wild side of your firewalls and if properly configured appear to be a "black hole" to your adversaries!

Using the UT for Remote Management Applications Since the UT along with UT-Soft enables a remote workstation to have a virtual presence on a remote LAN segment, it's quite useful for network monitoring and analysis, similar to a RMON without the headaches.
