Datacryptor Ethernet User Manual Overview

3 Overview
The Thales Datacryptor Ethernet is a high speed, high bandwidth, integrated security appliance.
The three models provide different transfer speeds; the 100 Mb Ethernet provides 100 Mbps,
while the 1 Gig and 10 Gig Ethernet units offer encryption at Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 transfer
rates.
The Datacryptor Ethernet units come in different case styles; the 100 Mb Ethernet and the 1 Gig
Ethernet models are housed in a single unit height 19-inch rack case for transmission speeds
up to 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps respectively, while the 10 Gig Ethernet model uses a double
height unit for 10,000 Mbps transmission speeds. The 100 Mb Ethernet unit may have its rack
mounting brackets removed so that it can be used as a desktop unit.
The 100 Mb Ethernet units have standard RJ45 sockets on the front panel for Host and Network
connections, while the 1 Gig and 10 Gig Ethernet units have two Small Form Factor sockets on
the front panel; these accept a range of transmit/receive interfaces. The 1 Gig Ethernet unit
uses SFP type sockets, and the 10 Gig Ethernet unit uses the XFP type sockets.
The host port is connected to the private network and receives the data for encryption.
Encrypted data is then passed through the network port for secure transmission over the public
network.
The Datacryptor Ethernet is designed to operate as a Layer 2 (Data Link) encryptor. The
advantage of this is it makes the unit fully transparent to higher protocols.
The units are housed in a tamper evident chassis with interlock switches that will cause the key
material to be erased if the lid is removed.
