Introduction to this Manual
There are three models in the Datacryptor Ethernet range: 100 Mb Ethernet, 1 Gig Ethernet, and 10 Gig Ethernet. Predominantly, the information in this manual applies equally to all models and as such, the device is referred to simply as the ‘Datacryptor Ethernet’. Where there are differences, the unit being described is referred to either as the 100 Mb Ethernet, 1 Gig Ethernet, or 10 Gig Ethernet, as appropriate. The differences between the two models are mainly in the speed of operation and the physical size of the casing.
This manual describes how to install the Thales Datacryptor Ethernet unit and the Element Manager software. It also describes how to use the Element Manager software to configure and manage the Thales Datacryptor Ethernet device.
