The NPort® 6000 is a terminal server that uses the SSL and SSH protocols to transmit encrypted serial data over Ethernet. Up to 32 serial devices of any type can be connected to the NPort® 6000, using the same IP address. The Ethernet port can be configured for a normal or secure TCP/IP connection.

The NPort® 6000 secure device servers are the right choice for applications that use large numbers of serial devices packed into a small space. Security breaches are intolerable and the NPort® 6000 Series ensures data transmission integrity with support for DES, 3DES, and AES encryption algorithms. Serial devices of any type can be connected to the NPort® 6000, and each serial port on the NPort® 6000 can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 transmission.
