Weidmuller WAN/LAN industrial ethernet security router

Weidmuller has created a gigabit WAN/LAN industrial ethernet router that delivers comprehensive security features.

The router translates addresses between different networks using protocols such as port forwarding, 1:1 NAT or masquerading to protect all the ethernet devices of the hidden network and to ensure safe integration into the network.

In addition, the router also enables access to infrastructure from around the world, supporting up to 10 VPN connections using OpenVPN as well as IPSec technologies to deliver high-level security with minimum effort.

The model also has an in-built SPI firewall to prevent unwanted remote network access. It has a fully functional firewall that can be configured to meet individual rules for both Layer 2 (ethernet) and Layer 3 (IP) transport to deliver top-level security.

The firewall also has an auto-learning feature that adapts automatically to the network traffic it sees. This feature provides inexperienced network people with highly effective protection. Generated rules can be edited or deleted.

Housed in a rugged DIN rail mount case to withstand demanding environments, the router is suitable for use in mining, road and transport, and water industries as well as for remote access for automation companies during commissioning and warranty.
