The SIXNET Tool Kit is a Windows software utility that makes it easy to design, configure, and maintain your SIXNET I/O systems. This all-in-one utility supports all the latest SIXNET hardware from SixTRAK (introduced in 1995) to EtherTRAK-2 I/O (new in 2008). Use the basic (Level 1) SIXNET Tool Kit to create panel layouts, assign tag names and configure modes of operation for all new SIXNET systems. Then add optional feature sets as needed to provide exporting, datalogging and I/O transfers between stations. With IPm based systems you can also add C programming capability. Optional Add-ons for IPm systems provide even more functionality, including extensive IPm communications security and support for SNMP protocol. The SIXNET Tool Kit is special software that has been created to make your job easier. It is a completely integrated suite of project-oriented tools that help you quickly and effectively view the "big picture" as you design, install and maintain your important systems.
