SmartFlex SR300
3. Router Description
LAN Industrial router SmartFlex SR300 is an ideal device for the realization of a secure
connection of two local area networks (LANs). Interconnection is carried out using two ETH-
ERNET 10/100 interfaces and secure tunnel (IPSec, OpenVPN, L2TP).
The other equally important ways to use this router is to connect any device with RS232,
RS485 or I/O interface to the local network (LAN). For this purpose, SmartFlex SR300 is
equipped with two ETHERNET 10/100 ports and other interfaces based on the version of the
router chosen by the user.
As a standard, this router is equipped with two ETHERNET 10/100 ports, one USB 2.0
Host port, two binary inputs and one output (I/O connector). An integral part of the router is
also a memory card reader placed on the rear panel. This reader allows SmartFlex SR300 to
operate with microSD cards and increase storage space of the router up to 64 GB (32 GB in
case of SDHC cards). The router can be equipped with WiFi module on customer’s request,
however it is not possible to order it and add to the router later. The router can be equipped
with PoE PD (Power over Ethernet – powered device) to power the router via Ethernet, or
PoE PSE (power source equipment) to power other devices by the router. Richer range of
interfaces is available in versions containing three switched Ethernets. SmartFlex SR300 is
supplied either in a plastic or metal casing, based on the requirements of the customer.
For configuration of the industrial router is available web interface protected by password.
Web interface provides (after logging in) detailed statistics about the router activities, signal
strength, detailed system log etc. This device supports the creation of VPN tunnels using tech-
nologies IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP for secure communications. There are also supported
functions such as DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, backup primary
connection and many other functions.
Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include hardware watch-
dog which monitors the status of the router. Using a special window (start up script window)
you may insert Linux scripts for various actions. For some applications is crucial the possibility
to create several different configurations for one router. These configurations can be switched
as necessary (for example using SMS, binary input status, etc.). SmartFlex routers may auto-
matically upgrade configuration and firmware from server. This allows mass reconfiguration of
many routers in one time.
The router also supports additional software like R-SeeNet for permanent traffic monitoring
of routers.
