The versatile DX940 Configurable Industrial Router combines WAN access, IP routing, Ethernet switching, Serial-to-IP terminal services and advanced security features in a small-footprint industrial package suitable for small and midsized remote sites such as electrical substations, renewable power generation facilities and transportation control pedestals. With 3G wireless capability, as well as configurable port options for 10/100 and 1Gb copper and fibre media, the DX940 secure access even where wireline is too difficult or too expensive to deploy. MNS-DX – Managed Network Software (MNS) for DX family of routers provides the functionality needed by industrial routers. A full range of routing software along with security features enables the DX940 router to perform efficiently in harsh industrial environments. A flexible integrated protocol analyzer provides remote trouble shooting. Advanced statistics provide detailed traffic analysis.
The configurability of DX940 extends to MNS-DX software features as well. A licensed software key unlocks additional features for extra security and advanced routing Extra security features such as IPSec/VPN, firewall, RADIUS, syslog and other security capabilities can be added to MNS-DX via MNS-DX-SECURE, which also provides IP firewall features including address/port inspection/ filtering; VPN connectivity over IPsec with strong 3DES and AES encryption and both shared key (PSK) and X.509 certificates. VPN’s comply to various IPSec/VPN standards and have proven interoperability with other industry standard VPN devices. Cyber security capabilities cover both electronic perimeter protection for remote sites and management security for the DX940. Advanced statistics and event recording are available with downloadable local logs, SNMP MIBs and traps, and syslog remote logging. Advanced routing capabilities such as OSPF and BGP are added to MNS-DX using the MNS-DX-ADVAR.
Adding Serial ports enables Serial-IP terminal services via RS232, RS485 and RS422 serial interfaces as well as protocols such as DNP, telnet and Modbus, including Modbus-ASCII/RTU to Modbus-TCP interworking. With MNS-DX-SECURE, serial devices can tranmit data securely using Serial-SSL using well proven, robust encryption methods.
The DX940 is purpose built for extremely harsh environments such as power utility substations. The DX940 meets IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3 specifications for EMI/ESD protection and operates at -40 to +85° C without open vent holes or fans. Hard metal packaging is standard and conformal coating for protection against moisture and corrosion is also available.
The DX940 is 9" by 9.5" and one 1.75" rack unit deep, with mounting options for panels, DIN rails or 19" or 23" or ETSI racks. Integration of wide-input autoranging power supplies and of telco-compatible CSU/DSU functionality into the base DX940 product further reduces space requirements & local wiring complexity.
