Chapter 10. TRANSEC MODULE

HTTPS INTERFACE

10.1 TRANSEC Module Overview

The SLM-5650A Satellite Modem is optionally equipped with the TRANSEC Module Interface,

either in standalone operation with the SLM-5650A Base Modem, or in tandem with the optional

Network Processor (NP) Interface module.

The SLM-5650A is fully compatible and interoperable in all specified modes of operation with

KIV-19 Provisional and KG-95-1 Provisional Transmission Security (TRANSEC) equipment

currently used by the Government.

EIA-422 data rates higher than 20 Mbps (for complete interoperability with the KG-

95-1) are provisional.

For either configuration, the TRANSEC Module Interface provides a proxy function of HTTPS

connections to the Base Modem and the NP Interface; a secure HTTPS connection to the

TRANSEC Module therefore enables user access to all Base Modem and/or all NP M&C

parameters securely through this indirect proxy connection. The Secure Management interfaces

supported by the TRANSEC Module Interface are summarized as follows:

Base Modem

Network Processor (when installed)

TRANSEC Module

HTTPS Proxy via TRANSEC Module

HTTPS

SSH

SNMPv3

HTTPS (Proxy via TRANSEC Module)

HTTPS

SSH

When the TRANSEC Module Interface is installed, Management Security is mandatory and

therefore security is always enabled: Network management M&C limitations that are enacted

when High Level Security is in effect therefore always apply.

INTERFACE or Chapter Sect. 8.6 NETWORK PROCESSOR (NP) HTTP/HTTPS

INTERFACE.
