Magnum MNS-DX Software

Managed Network Software for Magnum DX family of routers (MNS-DX) provides the functionality needed by industrial routers. A full range of routing software along with security and redundancy features enable the Magnum DX routers to perform efficiently in harsh industrial environments. MNS-DX includes features needed to connect a variety of different devices and interface types to a routed network.

MNS-DX-SECURE adds extra security features such as IPSec, VPN, firewall, encryption and authentication needed for industrial cyber security. Extra Security features are unlocked via a licensed software key. IP firewall includes address/port inspection/filtering. VPN connectivity over IPSec with strong industry standard encryption with shared keys (PSK) and X.509 certificates provide robust secure access. VPNs comply to IPSec standards and have proven interoperability with industry standard VPN devices. Management security includes encrypted interfaces multilevel user IDs with strong-form passwords and authentication via RADIUS. Serial data is encrypted using Serial SSL capabilities included in MNS-DX-SECURE.
