and performs an automatic restart if required.
The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe communications. The
router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic monitoring of the wireless and wired connec-
tions, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router
status.

C/C++. The Advantech existing app library Router Apps (formerly User modules) with apps already de-
veloped to enhance specific router functionality including industrial protocol conversions and support of IoT
platforms such as MS Azure,Cumulocity,ThingWorx, and others are supported on the router.
