SX-600
Ethernet to Wireless Client Adapter with Enterprise Security
Easily add 802.11b/g Wireless capabilities to any Ethernet product
The silex SX-600 is a high-performance wireless network adapter which enables any Ethernet device to become an 802.11b/g wireless
network device, giving you freedom to place it anywhere in your facility. It is ideal for connecting Ethernet enabled printers, scanners,
and multifunction printers (MFPs) to the wireless network without having to change any of the drivers or management utilities that
you normally use. The SX-600 will also bring 802.11b/g wireless capabilities to any other Ethernet enabled product such as Ethernet
enabled desktop or laptop computers, point of sale terminals, medical devices, and networked industrial control devices.
Secure
The SX-600 includes enterprise-level security features including
access control lists, complete protocol and application enable/
disable control, read and write configuration passwords, and
SNMP community name configuration. The wireless models
also add 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) with
Transport Layer Security (TLS), Tunneled Transport Layer Security
(TTLS), Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP),
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) or Flexible
Authentication via Secure Tunneling (FAST); Open System or
Shared Key support with Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encod-
ing; WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) Personal (WPA-PSK) and Enter-
prise modes, which utilize improved encryption via the Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP); and WPA2, which adds Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES)
.

Supports networked scanning facilities wirelessly
Windows software configuration and web browser interface
for easy setup
Ethernet pass-through means any security already provided
by your Ethernet enabled device
Once configured, the SX-600 is platform independent so it will
work with any operating system and any network device
Metal (industrial) and plastic (office) versions will be available
silex also offers an embedded solution (SX-550) for device
manufacturers who want to implement secure wireless
functionality internally
Easy to Configure
The SX-600 includes an easy to use Windows utility for configur-
ing the Wireless parameters and management TCP/IP settings
in just a few minutes. It can also be easily configured from any
operating system (including Linux, Unix, Macintosh, etc.) by us-
ing a standard Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox. The built-in software allows you to easily check on the
wireless signal level and status.

No Drivers Needed—Works with any Ethernet-enabled
device
Once the SX-600 is configured, it can be connected to any Ether-
net device. It is platform and Operating System independent, so
you don’t need any drivers or additional software. This allows you
to take advantage of all of the functionality of your networked
product by bridging it to the wireless network— making it ideal
for applications such as printer and status monitoring, network
scanning, and industrial control or status monitoring. Nothing
needs to be changed on your Ethernet device in order to make it
wireless when using the SX-600.
