6.8.5 Hardware Acceleration (SSL/SSH)
If you ordered your NetGuardian with hardware acceleration, then your NetGuardian is capable of SSL/
SSH connections.
For help accessing your NetGuardian's TTY interface via SSH, see Establishing an SSH Session.
For help configuring your NetGuardian's web interface for SSL (HTTPS) connections, see the Ethernet
Ports section of the NetGuardian Web Interface manual.
6.8.6 Integrated 8 Additional Serial Data Ports
You can order your NetGuardian 832A G5 with the 16S build option. This option gives you 8 extra serial
data ports (for a total of 16 serial data ports total) to provide extra reach-through capacity to control your
external serial devices.
Figure 6.8.6.1 Serial Server Ports.
NOTE: Uses same pinout as ports in 6.7
The first 7 serial ports can be used concurrently, while the remaining 9 are pooled together and can be
accessed 1 at a time through the TTY interface or by proxy connection to the 8th serial port. Connect
your serial devices via RS232 or RS485 and access the devices through either through direct or indirect
proxy.
The 16S option can be ordered with the +12/+24 VDC Sensor Power Supply, which provides a
convenient way to connect an auxiliary sensor to a battery power supply, so if AC power goes down
your sensor will still be powered.. Just plug the sensor into the back panel to use the sensor power
supply. See Section 6.8.4 for more information about the Sensor Power build option.
The 16S option also includes hardware acceleration (SSL/SSH). For help accessing your
NetGuardian's TTY interface via SSH, see
Establishing an SSH Session.
