US Patent 10474613 One-way data transfer device with onboard system detection

A data diode provides a flexible device for collecting data from a data source and transmitting the data to a data destination using one-way data transmission. On-board processing elements allow the data diode to identify automatically the type of connectivity provided to the data diode and configure the data diode to handle the identified type of connectivity. Either or both of the inbound and outbound side of the data diode may comprise one or both of wired and wireless communication interfaces.
