MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION
 
SUBJECT:
Special Interoperability Test Certification of the ION Networks ION SecureTM
PRIISMS with Software Release 2.2.1 build 9 and ION SecureTM 5500 with
Software Release 5.1.9 build 5 (Firmware 5.1.8)
 
References:
(a) DOD Directive 4630.5, “Interoperability and Supportability of Information
     Technology (IT) and National Security Systems (NSS),” 5 May 2004
(b) CJCSI 6212.01C, “Interoperability and Supportability of Information
     Technology and National Security Systems,” 20 November 2003
 
1. References (a) and (b) establish the Defense Information Systems Agency, Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), as the responsible organization for interoperability test certification. Additional references are provided in enclosure 1.
 
2. ION Networks ION SecureTMPRIISMS with Software Release 2.2.1 build 9 and ION SecureTM5500 with Software Release 5.1.9 build 5 (Firmware 5.1.8), hereinafter referred to as the system under test (SUT), meet the interface and functional requirements, and are certified for joint use within the Defense Switched Network (DSN). The SUT met the interface and functional requirements for customer premise equipment devices set forth in appendix 7 of reference (c). Although the SUT consists of the ION SecureTMPRIISMS and the ION SecureTM5500, each of these components is independently certified for joint use with the DSN. Testing was conducted using test procedures derived from reference (d). This certification expires upon changes that affect interoperability, but no later than three years from the date of this memorandum.
 
3. This certification is based on interoperability testing conducted by JITC at the Global Information Grid Network Test Facility, Fort Huachuca, AZ, from 19 through 20 May 2004, analysis of GSCR appendix 7 requirements, which were approved on 1 July 2004, and approval of vendor Letters of Compliance completed on 4 August 2004. The Certification Testing Summary (enclosure 2) documents the test results and describes the test configuration. Users should verify interoperability before deploying the SUT in an environment that varies significantly from that described.
 
4. The Functional Requirements used to evaluate the interoperability of the SUT and the interoperability statuses are indicated in table 1.

5. JITC distributes interoperability information via the JITC Electronic Report Distribution (ERD) system, which uses Unclassified-But-Sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) e-mail. More comprehensive interoperability status information is available via the JITC System Tracking Program (STP). The STP is accessible by .mil/.gov users on the NIPRNet at https://stp.fhu.disa.mil. Test reports, lessons learned, and related testing documents and references are on the JITC Joint Interoperability Tool (JIT) at http://jit.fhu.disa.mil (NIPRNet), or http://199.208.204.125 (SIPRNet). Information related to DSN testing is on the Telecom Switched Services Interoperability (TSSI) website at http://jitc.fhu.disa.mil/tssi.
