1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing a data communications product from Westermo. Westermo products are
extremely versatile and may be used in a wide variety of applications. It would not be possible to
describe in detail all such applications in a single guide. Consequently, this guide has been written
for use by technically competent personnel with a good understanding of the communications
technologies used in the product, and of the requirements for their speci
fi
c application.
Westermo design and manufacture a wide range of both wireline and wireless network routing
products. For a complete, up-to-date list of current products, please visit the Westermo web site at
www.Westermo.com
.
Whilst each of these models provide a different combination of hardware and software features, the
basic method of con
fi
guration using the web interface or command line is the same in each case.
This guide describes the operation of standard features available across the whole product range.
Consequently, some of the features described in this guide may only be available on certain models
or must be
purchased
as optional “feature packs”. You should refer to the speci
fi
cation of the
particular model you have purchased to ascertain which features are supported as standard.
In addition to a comprehensive range of communications capabilities, our products provide a
combination of powerful, yet easy to use, con
fi
guration, management and diagnostic tools. These
include a protocol analyser, a time-stamped event log and remote management via the web interface
or via a Telnet session.
In many applications, the serial ports will be con
fi
gured to appear as if they were standard “AT”
modems and behave accordingly. However, many other standard protocols are supported (e.g. B- and
D-channel X.25, PPP, TPAD, V.120, etc.). This makes it simple and cost-effective to migrate existing
terminal equipment, which uses the analogue telephone network, to faster, more reliable and cost-
effective “wireline” or wireless digital services.
All major features of the unit can be con
fi
gured using a standard Web browser. This can be done
locally (via a serial or LAN port), or remotely via a WAN connection. A built-in Web-server and
fl
exible
FLASH-memory based
fi
ling system mean that the unit can also be customised to provide application
speci
fi
c functions, statistics and diagnostic information
