DESCRIPTION

The FT tunnels create an encrypted tunnel through IP networks. The FT-6615 features four Ethernet LAN ports and a serial port for initial setup, the FT-6632 offers 2 Ethernet ports and a serial port.

FT tunnels encrypt any ethernet data between private networks using the public Internet or any other network as the transport.

Each unit can be configered as a server, a client or simultaneous as both a client & server device. As a server, the FT-6615 supports up to 25 simultaneous client units. The FT-6624 supports up to 50 clients; the FT-6636 supports 100 simultaneous remotes.

The Ethernet user data transport between FT units may be either TCP/IP or UDP. UDP is preferred for wireless links, for voice and for video transport. An FT server can support UDP and TCP/IP client units simultaneously.

The FT-Soft client software allows Windows workstations to connect to any FT server as a stand-alone client. This is quite useful for stand-alone dispatch workstations or portable notebook-based operations. Click here for more information on the FT-Soft software client.

The FT series uses a FIPS certified encryption module. AES is used for the bulk data encryption. SHA1 is used for signing and RSA 2048 for key exchange and authentication. A USB memory device is used for certificate information storage.

All FT-6615 and FT-6636 Ethernet ports are 10/100/1000BaseT. The serial port may only be used for initial IP setup. The FT-6636 also has two SFT cages that support gigabit Ethernet modules. The FT's are typically setup and always managed using a web browser. The server should have a fixed or known DHCP IP address. Clients can use DHCP or have fixed IP addresses.

The FT series operate through firewalls using only one port of your choice opened. It bridges all Ethernet protocols including IPX, IP, NetBEUI, and other proprietary or unroutable protocols. The FTs are straight-forward, easy to configure and maintain. They have state-of-the-art AES encryption security without the configuration complexity of VPN.

For encryption of serial RS-232 links not involving ethernet or IP, see our SE-6600 product line. For encryption of ethernet or IP links using non FIPS certified modules and other features, see our UT or XT series products.

Due to the encryption employed in these products, FT series products are export controlled items and are regulated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Some models of the ET and FT series 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.

APPLICATIONS

How it works

The FT family products create an encrypted tunnel which passes Ethernet packets between two trusted LAN segments. All ethernet protocols are bridged between the FT units. The FT only operates in conjunction with other FT 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 FT series units are compatible.
