Niagara Considerations
This topic provides a review of Niagara hosts, as well as their support for the
networking technologies discussed in previous sections. In addition, a summary of
the types of communication between Niagara devices is provided.
This information will be used in discussions in subsequent sections.
Niagara Hosts
Table 1-11 provides a summary of the hosts used in a typical network of Niagara
devices. Each category of host has different connection methodologies, depending on
the function it serves, the operating system used, and the communication ports
available.
990 FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL)
992 Telnet protocol over TLS/SSL
993 IMAP4 protocol over TLS/SSL
994 IRC protocol over TLS/SSL
995 POP3S (POP3 protocol over TLS/SSL)
