Enabling Ssl - Pepperl+Fuchs ICDM-RX/TCP Manual

ICDM-RX/TCP (DeviceMaster) and ICRPC (RocketPort EXPRESS)
Windows Driver Installation

4.4.6. Enabling SSL

After associating the DeviceMaster with the MAC address and configuring it to run in IP Mode, you can
configure SSL Mode.
Note: After configuring SSL Mode in the driver, remember that you will need to configure SSL Mode in the
web interface (Enabling Secure Data Mode on Page 58).
1. Click Enable SSL Mode or go to Step 4.
The DeviceMaster must be configured using IP Mode before you can Enable SSL Mode. If SSL Mode is
enabled, TCP connections that carry data to/from the serial ports are encrypted using SSL or TLS security
protocols. This includes the following:
• TCP connections to the per-serial-port TCP ports (default is 8000, 8001, 8002, ...) are encrypted using
SSL/TLS.
• TCP connections to TCP port 4606 on which the DeviceMaster implements the Pepperl+Fuchs
proprietary serial driver protocol are encrypted using SSL/TLS.
• Since SSL/TLS can not be used for either UDP data streams or for the Pepperl+Fuchs proprietary MAC
mode Ethernet driver protocol, both UDP and MAC mode serial data transport features are disabled.
In addition to encrypting the data streams, it is possible to configure the DeviceMaster so that only
authorized client applications can connect using SSL/TLS.
For this option to function, you must also Enable Secure Data Mode in the NS-Link web page.
