Description

DESCRIPTION

The UT PC client software works in conjuction with a UT-3300 or UT-6602 encryption server. It allows a PC to participate in the encrypted network without additional hardware at the client location.

The UT PC Client software creates a layer 2 tunnel, which sets it apart from other VPN software. In practical application terms, this feature allows all protocols to pass between the PC and the network on the server side. The protocols include multi-cast, which is often used for VOIP and video applications.

The UT-3300 server will host up to 8 client devices, which can be PCs, UT-3300s or UT-6602s. The UT-6602 can host up to 50 client PCs, UT-3300s or UT-6602s.

The UT series uses AES encryption which is replacing DES/3DES encryption. The encryption can be 128, 192 or 256 bit, or encryption can be turned off.

The UT series operates through firewalls requiring only one UDP/IP port, which can be any port. All Ethernet protocols are bridged, including multi-cast, IPX, IP, NetBEUI, etc. The UT series is straight-forward, easy to configure and maintain.

The UT series has state-of-the-art AES encryption security without the configuration complexity of VPN.

The server typically has a fixed IP address. Clients can have fixed IP addresses or use DHCP to obtain their address. Dynamic DNS is supported in both the UT-3300 and the UT-6602.

If you need to attach an entire subnet at a location to the encrypted network, see our UT-6602 hardware product line.

For encryption of serial RS-232 links not involving ethernet or IP, see our SE-6600 product line.

Due to the encryption employed in these products, UT series products are export controlled items and are regulated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The UT-SOFT, UT-6602 and UT-3300 are classified as mass market encryption devices and may not be exported or shipped for re-export to restricted countries in Country Group E:1. They may be shipped to most other countries.

SPECIFICATIONS

General

• Works only in conjuctions with UT-series hardware servers at the host end.
• Each UT-SOFT Client software instance has a unique Ethernet MAC address
• Supported on MS Windows – Vista, Vistax64, 7, 7×64, XP, and XP-Pro 32 and Windows emulation on Apple computers
• Servers are the UT family with models supporting from 8 clients up to hundreds of clients
• Software is distributed on a CDROM
• PCs can run multiple instances of the Client to connect to different servers simultaneously. Each instance requires a unique software license key
• The UT servers that the client connects to support dynamic DNS where needed. Dynamic DNS is not needed at the client
• UT-SOFT uses any IP interface available on the PC… wired LAN, Wifi, or wireless broadband.

Protocol Features

• UDP is the transport protocol used between UT devices
• AES 128, 192 or 256 bit encryption or no encryption
• Tunnels all Ethernet protocols, including multi-cast packets
• Protocol is NAT friendly

Performance

• Performance is limited by the host computer performance, UT server hardware, and connectiont to server.

Installation

The UT-SOFT software is suppliled on a CDROM. Each user client instance is configured using a unique software key supplied with the CDROM. The software is installed on a PC using a Windows installer program. When installing the software, the user/administrator enters the software key as part of the installation process. A PC may have more than one instance of the PC Client software operating at the same time. There must be one license purchased for each instance of the software running on a PC.

APPLICATIONS

How it works

The UT-SOFT client software is installed on a Windows PC running XP or XP-Pro. Installation is similar to the installation of a network driver. It allows the Windows PC to participate in a UT encrypted tunnel network without requiring UT hardware at the PC site. The UT family products create an encrypted tunnel which passes Ethernet packets between two trusted LAN segments. All ethernet protocols are bridged between the UT units. The UT only operates in conjunction with other UT units. One unit is required for each location. Multiple client units may be connected to the same host unit, and a client may be connected to multiple host units (daisy-chained operation). A host unit may be configured to block client-unit to client-unit connections, or to allow them. All UT series units are compatible.

The UT series operates similarly to our ET series encrypted tunnel. The main difference between the two product lines is that the UT uses UDP/IP protocol for the tunnel link while the ET uses TCP/IP for the tunnel link protocol. The following ET application notes apply to the UT as well as the ET series hardware and may provide insight into the operation of UT-Soft.

Using the UT Encrypted Bridges and UT-SOFT with IP Multicast.

Discusses applying the UT products to transport VOIP multicast via non-multicast wide area networks. Examples showing IP voice dispatch radios for public service agencies. The UT supports multi-cast IP over normal uni-cast networks and allows a private multi-cast network to span multiple IP networks. The UT-SOFT software client allows any PC to be a securely connected node on a remote network

Motorola MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console VPN Solution Guide

This Motorola produced MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console VPN Solution Guide features a virtual private network (VPN) solution that has been tested with MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console. The VPN solution uses a pair of encrypted Ethernet bridges to provide a secure Ethernet tunnel between the dispatch center and a remote MIP 5000 console. The secure Ethernet tunnel supports a remote console operator receiving audio from and transmitting audio to radio channels and other MIP 5000 consoles using AES encryption.
