Common Applications

  • VLAN – Ideal for tunneling multiple VLAN segments through an external IP network
  • Tunneling multicast voice and video through public and/or private networks
  • Serving remote offices over tunneled networks to ease network administration, provide remote file and printer access
  • Utilities – Gas and oil production, pipelines, electric generation, transmission and distribution
  • Retail – Stores, kiosks, credit card machines --- especially those using wireless links
  • Law Enforcement – Small remote offices
  • Medical – AES encryption of the FT-6600 meets HIPAA requirement for securing data over open networks such as the Internet. The medical industry is mandated by HIPAA to meet HIPAA privacy and security requirements over open networks.
  • Real Estate – Connecting to and updating the database of listed homes.
  • Field sales personnel working out of the home, hotel rooms wired for high speed Internet access.
  • Financial industry – Additional security on internal corporate links, branch offices, ATM machines, key personnel remote secure access.
  • Remote office with more than one device, with the ET-6600 shared with switch or hub.
  • Added security within a large corporate network
  • Office to Home
  • 2 nets at each end, bridged via the Internet
  • Remote network monitoring via the Internet

DESCRIPTION

The FT-6602 creates an encrypted tunnel through IP networks. It features three Ethernet LAN ports and a serial port for initial setup.

The FT-6602 encrypts data between private networks using the public Internet or any other network as the transport. The FT-6602 can be a server, a client or a client & server device. As a server, the FT-6602 supports up to 25 simultaneous clients.

The FT series uses a FIPS certified encryption module. AES is used for the bulk data encryption. The FT-6602 uses SHA1 for signing and RSA 2048 for key exchange and authentication. A USB memory device is used for certificate information storage.

The FT-6602 trusted encryption port is ethernet 10/100BaseT. The serial port can be used for initial IP setup. The FT-6602 is typically setup and managed using a browser. The server has a fixed IP address. Clients can use DHCP or have fixed IP addresses.

The FT-6602 series operates through firewalls with only one port of your choice opened. It bridges all ethernet protocols including IPX, IP, NetBEUI, and other proprietary protocols. The FT-6602 is straight-forward, easy to configure and maintain. The FT-6602 has state-of-the-art AES encryption security without the configuration complexity of VPN. It will encrypt and tunnel many devices without the need for individual client software on each device.

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 ET series or UT series products.

Due to the encryption employed in these products, FT and ET 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. They are shippable to most other countries.

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.

The FT series is the FIPS 140-2 encryption module version of our ET series encrypted tunnels. While these applications notes reference the ET series products, the FT series operation and capabilityes are similar.

ET-3300/6600 Encrypted Bridge Applications
Some ways the ET products are being used to tunnel IP traffic in the real world.

Using the ET-6601 Encrypted Bridge with EVDO & Wifi
Discusses using the ET-6601 with high speed cellular modems and 802.11 Wifi wide area connections.

ET Encrypted Bridge Installation Option
An application note describing an appliance-like installation that allows the ET to be located anywhere on the local LAN. Known around DCB as the "Single-Port Installation".

Using the ET Encrypted Bridges with 801.Q VLANs
Discusses configuring the ET products to handle 801.Q VLAN traffic. The ET supports 801.Q VLAN tagged packets, and allows a VLAN to span multiple IP networks.

Using the UT Encrypted Bridges and UT-SOFT with IP Multicast.
Discusses applying the UT products to transport VOIP multicast via non-multicast wide area networks. Examples showing IP voice dispatch radios for public service agencies. The UT supports multi-cast IP over normal uni-cast networks and allows a private multi-cast network to span multiple IP networks. The UT-SOFT software client allows any PC to be a securely connected node on a remote network
