Figure 1
The TAC Xenta 511 is provided withmechanisms to guarantee a high levelof security.A large number of users may use theXenta511, each with his or hersindividually tailored access authority.The unit is protected against both un-authorized access and incorrectoperation.A login procedure will give the useraccess only to those functions he or sheis authorized to see and use.User accounts and access rights can beadministered via the web interface.The security mechanism is based onHTTPS and the use of 128 bitencryption keys. This level of security isconsidered to be very high and is usedby many international banks and e-commerce sites.TAC Xenta 511 is optimized forMicrosoft Internet Explorer version 6.0.
Java Applets
Support for Java Applets might not beavailable in all web browsers. If so, aJava plug-in must be installed,otherwise the web pages based onJava Applets can not be used.Java Plug-ins for download are found atSun Microsystems site for Java techno-logy at http://java.sun.com or at http:// download.tac.com/software/sun/java/ javadownload.html
Modem
The serial channel port A in TAC Xenta511 supports modem signals.TAC Xenta 511 has both dial-up anddial-in capability and alarms can besent as e-mail or SMS.TAC Xenta 511 (2.1) supports PAP andCHAP authentication.
File Server
An FTP (
File Transport Protocol)
serverin the TAC Xenta 511 makes filetransfer possible.
Web Server
The web server in the TAC Xenta 511 isused for configuration and presentationof data from the units in the L

ORKS
network. The web server supportsHTTP version 1.0.
Time Synchronization
The TAC Xenta 511 internal time canbe synchronized with an external TimeServer using NTP (Network Time Proto-col) or with another TAC Xenta 511,using SNTP (Simple NTP).Moreover, the TAC Xenta 511 cansynchronize the time in local LonWorksnetworks with TAC Xenta 30x/4xx units.The web presentation of events andstatus from the L

ORKS
network isreached through Ethernet or the RS232port A (figure 1).The TAC Xenta 511 is one of the nodesin the L

network. A bindingtool, for example LonMaker
TM
, can beused for installing the TAC Xenta 511 inthe network. When using TAC Vista IVno binding tool is needed.TAC Xenta 511 communicates viaSNVT or TAC proprietary protocol withthe rest of the L

nodes.A modem or an Inovonics receiver canbe connected to the Xenta 511 usingthe RS232 port A.
WIRELESS EQUIPMENT
Browser
Using the RS232 port A, an InovonicsFA7403 receiver can be connected tothe network. This makes it possible touse wireless sensors/transmitters fromInovonics. 400 devices may beconnected to the network.The wireless equipment operates onthe 900MHz frequency. For moreinformation see datasheet 003-2556.

LTA for TAC Vista
Figure 2
The TAC Xenta 511 can be used as anLTA, LonTalk Adapter, between TACVista and the LonWorks network.When using TAC Vista 3.x, the programLTA for TAC Vista is used for the con-figuration of the LTA function in theTAC Xenta 511.When using TAC Vista IV the LTA sup-port is built into TAC Vista IV.
