Gain 17 Additional Serial Ports and Ethernet Communications With the New
SEL-3610 Port Server
PULLMAN, WA — January 19, 2010 — Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) today
introduced the SEL-3610 Port Server, the latest addition to SEL’s secure communications lineup.
The SEL-3610 economically expands serial port availability and secures Ethernet access to serial
products.
The new port server adds 17 additional serial ports for communications processors and/or
computers and communicates over Ethernet using Secure Shell (SSH), Telnet, or raw TCP
protocols. With SSH, the SEL-3610 provides secure engineering access and restricts all
unconfigured logical and physical ports.
Users can also do the following with the port server:
•
Simplify configuration and maintenance from a secure (HTTPS) web interface,
eliminating PC configuration software. Customers can easily configure and manage serial
ports, IRIG-B time source, and security features from the web interface.
•
Synchronize time accurately for event logs or for time-sensitive applications like
synchrophasors. The port server synchronizes and sends IRIG-B or Network Time
Protocol information.
•
Collect logs centrally with Syslog protocol. Log and store 60,000 events locally or to
three remote servers.
The SEL-3610 is available now for only $1,800. For more information on features, benefits, and
