| Secure multi-protocol substation networks DYMEC announces new 7-Series software for its DynaStar networking systems, and new technology partnerships with FreeWave Technologies and Bow Networks. These combined new capabilities extend cyber-security protections across both Internet Protocol and other technologies and facilitate the transition from dedicated legacy SCADA communications to integrated substation networking. DynaStar's unique SCADA Frame Forwarding technology enables network integration of routed and non-routed protocols for SCADA and other substation automation applications using digital facilities or frame relay services. The new DynaStar MPOSR capability (Multi-Protocol Over Serial Radio) extends this multi-protocol integration over cost-effective serial radio facilities. Related 7-Series enhancements include a per-connection encryption option and a new TCP-FR Host Gateway capability that allows IP/Ethernet-based SCADA masters to use SCADA Frame Forwarding on wide area links to remote serial devices. DynaStar 7-Series enhancements also address growing cyber-security concerns and mandates for critical infrastructure networks. New capabilities address perimeter, port and management level security across both routed and non-routed applications. Perimeter security now includes IPsec VPN enhancements and frame relay Link encryption, in addition to existing IP Firewall capabilities. Ethernet port security (static and learned static MAC) has been added to VLAN and dedicated serial port connectivity protections. A new downloadable event log for management console activity and configuration change activity enables event archival and auditing for regulatory compliance. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
