Chapter 1 Description
1.1 Introduction
The REGESTA 1 is a router especially designed for industrial telecontrol and telemeasurement tasks in SCADA en-
vironments.
It enables the user to access IP networks containing traditional telemanagement and telemeasurement devices,
which only have a serial interface.
Due to its ruggedized mechanics and its special characteristics to support extreme temperatures, the REGESTA 1 is
ideally suited for: automotive applications, industrial environments, industrial telecontrol, distribution installations for
electricity, gas, water, etc.
The main characteristic of this router family lies in the possibility in accessing data networks through cellular or mo-
bile telephony technologies. The REGESTA 1 family is compatible with GSM and GPRS technologies.
This manual will show you how to install, connect and configure these devices.

1.2 SCADA Systems
SCADA stands for “Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition”. I.e. a system that carries out centralized measure-
ments and control over industrial processes. A SCADA system consists of an Central Host or MASTER (normally
known as Master Terminal Unit or MTU); one or more data gathering devices or remote controls (normally known as
Remote Terminal Units or RTUs); and a set of software and/or hardware tools used to monitor and control remotely
located devices.
A SCADA system gathers the necessary information in order to perceive the status of the system it is controlling at
all times, drawing attention to abnormal situations, generating analysis and executing possible control functions.
SCADA determines which situations may be critical, presenting a logical and organized report. A SCADA system
may be simple or extremely complex.
