Encryption only applies to the port selected for data tunneling (default 10001), regardless of whether you are using TCP or UDP.

Generally, one of these situations applies:

Encrypted xDirect-to-xDirect communication. Be sure to configure both xDirect devices with the same encryption key.

Third-party application to xDirect-encrypted communication: xDirect uses standard AES encryption protocols. To communicate successfully, products and applications on the peer side must use the same protocols and the same encryption key as the xDirect.

Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector provides an encrypted connection from Windows- based applications to the xDirect. Information about SCPR is at www.lantronix.com/device- networking/utilities-tools/scpr A 30-day trial version of SCPR is available.
