Introduction to your Router
The BEC MX-200 Advanced Industrial 4G/LTE Router is a high performance fixed wireless platform
enabling real-time 4G Cellular data connectivity for your existing serial devices and Ethernet network.
The MX-200 provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative solution for business continuity. The
platform can serve as the primary connection or backup connection when wired connections fail are
unavailable or non-existent.
The MX-200 features two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and a RS-232 Serial interface enabling wireless
data connectivity for a broad range of applications and vertical machine-to-machine (M2M) market
segments. Intelligent software supports configurable LAN/WAN options, embedded LTE module and
enterprise level functionality such as: advanced security mechanisms, Quality of Service (QoS), SPI
firewall, integrated VPN, auto failover for unparalleled uptime and network redundancy, and
cloud-based management to extend visibility and control of devices remotely.
4G/LTE Mobility
To offer an advanced network solution that meets the growing demands of M2M services, MX-200
exclusively features dual WAN - load balance or auto-failover/failback to provide extraordinary,
always-on internet connectivity.
Ultra-Compact and Lightweight Design
Designed for continuous operation in harsh environments, the MX-200 supports an extended
operating temperature range from -4 to 140º F (
–20 to 60º C) and a flexible input voltage range of
8-56V DC making it suitable for diverse environments and applications. To enable simple, reliable and
efficient integration the ultra-compact, lightweight and low profile design incorporates highly flexible
mounting options to ensure that the device and can be easily mounted discretely anywhere.
Secure VPN Connections
The MX-200 supports comprehensive and robust IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols for
business users to establish private encrypted tunnels over the public Internet to secure data
transmission between headquarters and branch offices. It also supports VPN dial in from smart
phones for secure remote Internet connection via your home broadband. With a built-in DES/3DES
VPN accelerator, the router enhances IPSec VPN performance significantly.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use
it in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an
operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6
