Secure ION

Secure ION, or ION over TLS, enhances the security of the ION protocol by using a Transport Layer Security (TLS) encrypted tunnel between the device and the software client.

NOTE: The additional TLS layer applies to a TCP/IP based connection (Ethernet) only. It does not apply to serial communications.

To use Secure ION your IT infrastructure must be configured to allow the traffic on the Secure ION port to pass. The default port for Secure ION is 7443.
