1. Safety Instructions
Please, observe the following instructions:
•The router must be used in compliance with all applicable international and national laws
and in compliance with any special restrictions regulating the utilization of the router in
prescribed applications and environments.
•To prevent possible injury and damage to appliances and to ensure compliance with
all relevant provisions, use only the original accessories. Unauthorized modifications or
the use of unapproved accessories may result in damage to the router and / or a breach
of applicable regulations. Unauthorized modifications or use of unapproved accessories
may void the warranty.
•The router can not be opened.
•Turn off the router and disconnect it from power supply before handling the SIM card.
•Caution! The SIM card could be swallowed by small children.
•Power supply must not exceed 60 V DC max.
•Do not expose the router to extreme ambient conditions. Protect the router against dust,
moisture and high temperature.
•The router should not be used in locations where flammable and explosive materials
are present, including gas stations, chemical plants, or locations in which explosives are
used. We remind users of the duty to observe the restrictions concerning the utilization
of radio devices at such places.
•Switch off the router when travelling by plane. Utilization of the router on a plane may
endanger the operation of the plane or interfere with the mobile telephone network, and
may be unlawful. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the suspension or
cancellation of telephone services for the respective client and / or may result in legal
sanctions.
•When using the router in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as cardiac
pacemakers or hearing aids, you must proceed with heightened caution.
•The router may cause interference when used in close proximity to TV sets, radio re-
ceivers or personal computers.
•It is recommended that you create an appropriate copy or backup of all important settings
that are stored in the memory of the device.

SmartFlex SR307
3. Router Description
SmartFlex SR307 is an industrial cellular router designed for communication in mobile
networks that make use of LTE, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS technology. The primary
purpose of these routers is their use in the 450 MHz band whose main advantage is the
long range. The lower frequency, the less transmitters are needed for covering. Due to the
high speed of data transfer up to 100 Mbit/s (download) and up to 50 Mbit/s (upload) is this
router an ideal solution for specialized M2M devices and IoT as well as for wireless connection
of traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic teller
machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.
The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, one USB 2.0 Host port,
two binary inputs and one output (I/O connector). The device also has two readers for 3 V and
1.8 V SIM cards, which are located on the rear panel of the router. The router also includes
a microSD card port that supports up to 64 GB card storage (32 GB in the case of SDHC
cards). The router can be equipped with a WiFi module, but this must be part of the initial
configuration – it cannot be added to the router at some point in the future.
The router can be equipped with PoE PD (Power over Ethernet – Powered Device), which
allows the router to be powered via Ethernet. It can also be equipped with PoE PSE (Power
over Ethernet – Power Source Equipment), which lets the router power other devices via Eth-
ernet. The SmartFlex can also be configured with a wide variety of port options. These can
be SWITCH – three switched Ethernet ports; RS232 – serial interface; RS232-RS485/422 –
combination of serial interfaces; RS232-RS485-ETH – combination of serial interfaces and
Ethernet port with higher insulation. The router can be provided in either a plastic or metal
casing, depending upon the customer’s requirements.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web in-
terface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed system
log etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP
to ensure safe communication. DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS,
backup primary connection and many other functions are supported.
The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP
connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that
monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts which are started on various
actions. It is possible to create up to four different configurations for the same router. These
configurations can be switched whenever necessary via Web interface, SMS or binary input
status. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central
server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time.
The router also supports additional software like R-SeeNet for permanent traffic monitoring
of routers.
