  • Remote Cellular TCP/IP Access to Rockwell Ethernet and Serial Devices
    Remote Cellular TCP/IP to Rockwell Devices Remote Cellular TCP/IP Access to Rockwell Ethernet and Serial Devices Keywords: Cellular, SLC5/05, ControlLogix, MicroLogix Abstract: This document describes how to set up the Digi Connect™ WAN products (Digi Connect WAN, Digi Connect WAN RG, and Digi Connect WAN VPN) for remote cellular TCP/IP access to Rockwell equipment, such as the PLC5E, SLC5/05, ControlLogix, and MicroLogix. The Digi Connect WAN Family functions much like a home DSL/Cable modem, except the connection is by digital cellular signals such as GSM or CDMA. This enables wireless “Ethernet” solutions on a metro, regional, or global scale. 1 Introduction 1.1 Example Application To illustrate the use of Digi Connect WAN products with your Rockwell equipment, consider the following example: Key Features: The Digi Connect WAN product used with your Rockwell equipment provides several key features: • Provides outgoing Network-Address-Translation (NAT) and incoming TCP/UDP port forwarding. Some models act as VPN end-point. • Maintains an always-up IP connection, either on either the public Internet or by customized private networks established through your cellular carrier. • Being IP-based, all common Ethernet protocols can be used concurrently, including HTTP (Web browsing), ODVA Ethernet/IP, CSPv4, and Modbus/TCP. PN: 90000772_A http://www.digi.com/support/ia Page 1 of 37 Remote Cellular TCP/IP to Rockwell Devices • Existing applications, such as RSLinx, RSLogix and OPC, can be configured to access the field equipment through existing corporate LAN connections. • Intelligent field devices can use IP-based protocols to send email, file updates, or report-by-exception notifications.

B. TECH, COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Student, 3rd year-2nd Semester GITAM UNIVERSITY Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh India 2.Assistant Professor Computer Science and Engineering GITAM UNIVERSITY Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh India ABSTRACT This paper is focused on the evolution of SSH, the need for SSH, working of SSH, its major components and features of SSH. As the number of users over the Internet is increasing, there is a greater threat of your data being vulnerable. Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol provides a secure method for remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. The SSH protocol has been designed to support many features along with proper security. This architecture with the help of its inbuilt layers which are independent of each other provides user authentication, integrity, and confidentiality, connection- oriented end to end delivery, multiplexes encrypted tunnel into several logical channels, provides datagram delivery across multiple networks and may optionally provide compression. Here, we have also described in detail what every layer of the architecture does along with the connection establishment. Some of the threats which Ssh can encounter, applications, advantages and disadvantages have also been mentioned in this document. Keywords: SSH, Cryptography, Port Forwarding, Secure SSH Tunnel, Key Exchange, IP spoofing, Connection- Hijacking. 1. INTRODUCTION SSH Secure Shell was first created in 1995 by Tatu Ylonen with the release of version 1.0 of SSH Secure Shell and the Internet Draft “The SSH Secure Shell Remote Login Protocol”.

  • Nokia HA-140W-B
    Port forwarding for Nokia HA-140W-B Port forwarding can be used to establish a home-based FTP server, web server or similar kind of a server. The server is located on the LAN client (e.g. desktop computer or laptop). To set up Port forwarding, log into your router and go to Application > Port Forwarding. See image 1. Image 1. Port forwarding configured with port mapping (WAN port maps to LAN port) To set a specific port forwarding rule, select Custom settings for Application Name line. In the WAN Port field, set an arbitrary port on WAN interface of a router (e.g. TCP port 12001). All requests coming to the server from the internet side will have a destination IP address of the router itself, and a destination port as listed in WAN Port fields. For LAN port fields, list the port on which the LAN client server app is running (in this case TCP port 8008). Select the appropriate LAN client (server machine) from the dropdown menu on Internal Client. Protocol is determined by the type of server application (in this case TCP). Tick Enable Mapping and click Add to save the rule. Once the rule is saved, you’ll see the confirmation (see image 2). 1 Image 2. Port forwarding rule confirmation Similarly, ports on WAN and LAN side can be kept the same (see image 3). Image 3 shows the second way things can be configured. It’s up to you whether you prefer to use the methods in image 1 or image 3. Image 3.

  • Porting the QEMU Virtualization Software to MINIX 3
    Porting the QEMU virtualization software to MINIX 3 Master's thesis in Computer Science Erik van der Kouwe Student number 1397273 [email protected] Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Faculty of Sciences Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Supervised by dr. Andrew S. Tanenbaum Second reader: dr. Herbert Bos 12 August 2009 Abstract The MINIX 3 operating system aims to make computers more reliable and more secure by keeping privileged code small and simple. Unfortunately, at the moment only few major programs have been ported to MINIX. In particular, no virtualization software is available. By isolating software environments from each other, virtualization aids in software development and provides an additional way to achieve reliability and security. It is unclear whether virtualization software can run efficiently within the constraints of MINIX' microkernel design. To determine whether MINIX is capable of running virtualization software, I have ported QEMU to it. QEMU provides full system virtualization, aiming in particular at portability and speed. I find that QEMU can be ported to MINIX, but that this requires a number of changes to be made to both programs. Allowing QEMU to run mainly involves adding standardized POSIX functions that were previously missing in MINIX. These additions do not conflict with MINIX' design principles and their availability makes porting other software easier. A list of recommendations is provided that could further simplify porting software to MINIX. Besides just porting QEMU, I also investigate what performance bottlenecks it experiences on MINIX. Several areas are found where MINIX does not perform as well as Linux. The causes for these differences are investigated.

Credit is awarded for the Project. __________________________, Graduate Coordinator ___________________ Dr. Jinsong Ouyang Date Department of Computer Science iv Abstract of NETWORK DRIVER FOR MICRO OS XV6 by Anmoldeep Singh Sandhu The network driver is one of the primary requirements for any operating system. Xv6 is a micro-operating system based on version 6 Unix. The latest version of xv6 does not have support for the ethernet driver or the four-layer UDP/IP model. Our work extends the xv6 operating system to support a functioning network driver with the capability of handling a packet burst. This Project also adds support for UDP/IP and Ethernet protocol to the xv6 operating system. _______________________ Committee Chair Dr. Jinsong Ouyang _____________________ Date v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am thankful to Dr. Ouyang for providing me the opportunity to learn new skills in the field of driver development.
