Appendix F. OPTIONAL TRANSEC
F.1 Overview
The SLM-5650A Satellite Modem is equipped with the optional FIPs 140 Level 2 certified
TRANSEC Moduleinterface. The TRANSEC Module operates in standalone mode with the
SLM-5650A Base Modem, or in tandem with the optional Network Processor (NP) Interface
Module.
The SLM-5650A is fully compatible and interoperable in all specified modes of operation with
KIV-19 Provisional and KG-95-1 Provisional Transmission Security (TRANSEC) equipment
currently used by the Government.
EIA-422 data rates higher than 20 Mbps (for complete interoperability with the
KG-95-1) are provisional.
For either configuration, the TRANSEC Module provides a proxy function of HTTPS connections
to the Base Modem and the NP Interface; a secure HTTPS connection to the TRANSEC Module
therefore enables secure user access to all Base Modem and/or all NP M&C parameters through
this indirect proxy connection.
When the TRANSEC Module is installed, Management Security is mandatory and therefore
security is always enabled: Network management M&C limitations that are enacted when High
Level Security is in effect therefore always apply.
