  • Page 158: C: Networking And Security

    C: Networking and Security This chapter describes the following networking and security concepts as they relate to the EDS: SSH ⎯ described below. SSL ⎯ see page 159 Serial tunneling ⎯ see page This chapter concludes with a description of modem emulation (page 164). Like SSL, Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides secure encrypted communications over unsecured TCP/IP networks such as the Internet.

  • Page 159: Ssl

    C: Networking and Security Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an open-standard security protocol that provides privacy through encryption, server authentication, and message integrity. From its introduction in 1994, SSL has become the industry standard for securing e-commerce transactions over TCP/IP connections. And it is easy to see why. Imagine mailing a letter in a clear envelope that anyone could see.

  • Page 160: Digital Certificates

    C: Networking and Security When a Web browser accesses a domain secured by SSL, an SSL handshake authenticates the server and client, and establishes an encryption method and a unique session key. Once this handshake has been completed, the client and server can begin a secure session that guarantees message privacy and message integrity.

  • Page 161: Tunneling

    C: Networking and Security Tunneling Tunneling provides a way to create a connection between two serial devices across an untrusted network so the devices can share data. The sharing of information is achieved through a direct connection (or “serial tunnel”) between the two devices that encapsulates, authenticates, and encrypts the serial data into TCP packets and sends them across the Ethernet network.

  • Page 162: Tunneling And The Eds

    C: Networking and Security Tunneling and the EDS Each EDS serial port supports two concurrent tunneling connections, Connect mode and Accept mode. These connections operate independently of the other EDS serial ports. In Connect mode, the EDS actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the network must listen for the Connect mode’s connection.

  • Page 163: Accept Mode

    C: Networking and Security Connect Mode has six variations: Disabled (no connection) Enabled (always makes a connection) Active if it sees any character from the serial port (makes a connection upon receiving any character) Active if it sees a specific (configurable) character from the serial port Modem emulation (controlled by modem commands) Modem control asserted (makes a connection when the modem central signal on the serial line becomes active)

  • Page 164: Packing Mode

    C: Networking and Security The EDS observes the modem control inactive setting. To clear out data from the serial buffers upon disconnecting, configure the EDS to flush serial data (see Tunnel – Disconnect Mode Page on page 66. Packing Mode Packing mode takes data from the serial port, groups it together, and sends it out to nodes on the network.

  • Page 165: Command Mode

    C: Networking and Security Command Mode The Modem Emulation’s Command mode supports the standard AT command set. For a list of available commands from the serial or telnet login, enter AT?. Use ATDT, ATD, and ATDP to establish a connection: Switches to command mode if entered from serial port during connection.
  • Page 166 C: Networking and Security (Since the remote port was not specified in the ATDT command, the remote port defined under Connect mode is used.) Entering ATDT 28.150 causes the EDS to assume the first two octets in the IP address and connects to the remote IP address 192.168.28.150, port 10001. Entering ATDT 150 causes the EDS to assume the first three octets and connects to the remote IP address 192.168.16.150, port 10001.
