Caddx NX-590E TCP/IP Interface Module from GE Interlogix

Overview

The NX-590E Network Module brings new functionality to the world of controls with Ethernet connectivity to your central station. Working in conjunction with the Osborne-Hoffman Network Receiver, a direct pipe is established into your current automation.

Outstanding Features

The NX-590E can send events to two IP address for dual, split, or backup reporting. Events may also be sent to two e-mail addresses. The NX controls can also be configured for dial or cellular backup should network communication fail.

Triple-DES encryption is used to protect data from being compromised. To further enhance network security, a dynamic KEY generation is employed with a new 24-Bytes random number generated for every event.

The NX-590E also offers the choice of static IP, where the IP addresses are fixed and assigned by IS department; or DHCP, where a pool of IP addresses is assigned by a server to units on the network and IP addresses here can and do change. Either way all functions are programmable via keypad or DL900 upload/download software.
