1. Description
M2M Gateway ARM600 is a member of ABB’s Arctic product
family. ARM600 is a communication server, a VPN concentrator
and firewall and is typically placed in the same location as the
central control and monitoring system, such as SCADA.
ARM600 manages all Arctic 600 series wireless gateway
connections and is the main interface between the field devices
and central control and monitoring system.
ARM600 includes the Arctic Patrol application for condition
monitoring and centralized device management. Centralized
device management is essential to ensure the network
operability in large-scale or geographically dispersed
communication systems.
ARM600 provides static IP addressing for the central control
and monitoring system. This means that the Arctic 600 series
wireless gateways in remote locations can utilize normal SIM
cards with dynamic IP addresses from any operator. This allows
the user to utilize different operators depending on the
coverage and pricing. Both standard (public) and private APN
type SIM cards can be used in this communication system.
ARM600 is typically part of a complete communication system
which consists of Arctic 600 series wireless gateways and a
central Arctic M2M Gateway ARM600 communication server.
ARM600 is an essential part of the total communication
solution. The communication solution is application
independent, that is, any type of remote application can be
connected to any type of centralized control and monitoring
application.

3. Deployment
ARM600 is typically installed in the same location as the central
control and monitoring system. ARM600 can be installed, for
example, in the company DMZ (demilitarized zone) between the
company LAN and the public Internet or directly behind the
company firewall.

ARM600 requires a fixed line Internet connection with a public
and static IP address. A public IP address is required so that the
data from the connected Arctic 600 series wireless gateways
can be routed to ARM600 via the public Internet. A fixed IP
address is required because the data connection between the
Arctic 600 series wireless gateways and ARM600 is initiated by
the Arctic devices. The IP address of ARM600 must be
configured into the Arctic device and, thus, a static IP address
is required instead of a dynamic one.
Users with private APN contract SIM cards in the Arctic devices
can benefit from using ARM600. In this case, static IP
addressing is not required from ARM600 as the cellular
operator provides fixed IP addresses for the SIM cards. The
added value of ARM600 comes from the added security, end-
to-end routing from central LAN to remote LAN and centralized
device management. Therefore, using private APN type SIM
cards and ARM600 are complementary to each other. This
offers the best possible reliability and security in a cellular-
network based communication system.

4. Arctic Patrol
ARM600 includes the Arctic Patrol centralized device
management application. Arctic Patrol provides condition
monitoring of the cellular connections, statistical data of
network usage, direct access to the connected Arctic 600
series wireless gateway user interfaces, automatic backup of
Arctic 600 series wireless gateway configurations and alarms
from any faults in the availability of the Arctic 600 series wireless
gateways. The Arctic Patrol interface can be accessed via
ARM600. It offers information about the entire communication
system status at a glance.

5. Physical interfaces
ARM600 is available in two variants, standard and enterprise
edition. Standard edition can be connected to a maximum of
300 Arctic 600 series wireless gateways, whereas the
enterprise edition can take up to 3000 connections. The
enterprise edition also offers hardware-level redundancy with
dual hot-swappable hard drives and dual power supplies. The
functionality of both variants is identical apart from the number
of connected devices.
Standard edition
The ARM600 standard edition is designed to be mounted into a
19” rack.
