The Conettix ITS-D6686 Ethernet Network Adapters (ITS-D6686-INTL and ITS-D6686-UL) are used to connect the Conettix D6600 Communications Receiver/Gateway to IPv6 and IPv4 networks (LAN/WAN/Internet). The adapter allows the D6600 to process messages to and from most networks using User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP). Conettix ITS-D6686 Ethernet Network Adapters are compatible with both IPv6 and IPv4 networks. A minimum of one adapter is required for each D6600. The two serial ports allow for a variety of installation options including Network Failover Solution.

A Conettix System with two D6600 receivers and two ITS-D6686 adapters can be used to allow for a redundant backup in the event of first system failure. Each adapter has two serial ports that allow it to be connected to a primary and backup receiver at the same time. In this configuration using the D6200 software, when the primary receiver is updated the backup receiver will also be updated. Each adapter also supports an alternate MAC Address that can be used to switch between adapters on primary and backup systems without any network problems.
