3.0   ROUTER DESCRIPTION

 

3.1    DESCRIPTION 

The  SPECTRE  Cellular  and Etherent  industrial  routers are  used to wirelessly connect Ethernet 
equipment and other devices to the Internet or intranet. Thanks to the high data transfer speed of up 
to  100  Mbit/s  download  (LTE models) and 50  Mbit/s  upload  (LTE models),  it is an ideal wireless 
solution for traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic 
teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals. 

The standard configuration includes one 10/100  Ethernet  port, one USB Host  port, one binary 
Input/output (I/O) port and dual SIM card holders. Network redundancy is provided by the second 
SIM card holder. It also contains 2 auxiliary ports for connecting to other types of networks such as 
RS-232, RS-485/422,  Digital/Analog I/O, or they can be configured to provide additional switched 
Ethernet ports. The function of each port is dependent upon the specific router model. 

Configuration  of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. The router 
supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe communication. 
The Web interface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, etc. The 
router supports DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, and many other functions.  

The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP connection, 
automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router 
status. The user may insert Linux scripts to control various router functions and create up to four 
different configurations for the same router. These configuration files can  include  different  SMS 
functionality  and binary input  configurations. You may switch between different configurations 
whenever necessary. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your 
central server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time.
