GPRS/EDGE router ER75i v2

Application

GPRS/EDGE ER75i v2 router is used to wirelessly connect various equipments and devices via Ethernet interface 10/100 to the Internet or intranet. Thanks to high security level and wide coverage of GPRS/EDGE technology provided by mobile phone operators, it is mostly used in industrial applications, for remote maintenance and service of machines, or for data transfer from solar or wind power plants. Other benefits and advantages includes high modularity - the router offers option to connect various user devices via Ethernet 10/100, RS232, RS485, RS422, MBUS or I/O.

Selected applications

• Self-service terminals - connection of ATMs, payment and gaming terminals, etc.
• Industry - interconnection of management and operational systems and sensors, SCADA, remote services
• IT and communication - safe connection of computers and LAN networks
• Metrology, alarm and warning systems - connection of sensors measuring water flow level in rivers, seismographs, rainfall meters, air pollution monitoring devices, meteorological stations
• Energy and power industry – connection of wind power plants, solar panels, data transfer provided by gas, oil and water distribution networks and grids
• Transportation and security - connection of various sensors in trains, vehicles, container transportation assistance and river boats
• More Applications

Key features

As a standard, this industrial ER75i v2 wireless router is equipped with one Ethernet 10/100, one USB Host port, one binary input/output (I/O) port and one SIM card. To save and backup communication data a version with 2 SIM cards is available. The wide range of interface options of this wireless router further expands an optional Port1 and Port2 - selected by the customer – for example Ethernet port 10/100, serial interface ports RS232/RS485/RS422/MBUS or (I/O - CNT). Port2 may be equipped with serial interfaces RS232/RS485/RS422/MBUS or (I/O - CNT). The wireless router is supplied either in a plastic or metal casing, based on the requirements of the customer.

Configuration is done via web interface protected by password. The GPRS/EDGE router supports creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe communication. Web interface provides detail statistics about the wireless router activities, signal strength, detailed log, etc. Router supports functions: DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS and many other functions. 

Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include automatic inspection of PPP connection offering an automatic restart feature - in case of connection losses, or hardware watchdog which monitors the status of the router. With the help of a special window (start up script window) you may insert Linux scripts for various actions. For some applications the key option to create several different configurations for one wireless GPRS/EDGE router, the so-called profiles (maximum of 4), and the option to switch between them (for example via SMS, binary input status, etc.) is essential. Cellular wireless routers may automatically upgrade configuration and firmware from server. This allows mass reconfiguration of many routers in one time.

For easy use additional software may be used - communication VPN server Digicluster and software for router monitoring R-SeeNet.
