CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction to your Router
The MX-1000 Advanced Industrial 4G/LTE Wireless VPN Router is a high-performance all-in-one
wireless communications platform with advanced software enabling high availability, reliable and
secure connectivity for mission critical applications. The MX-1000 is specifically designed to provide
outstanding network efficiency and internet security for a wide range of applications and vertical
machine-to-machine (M2M) market segments. It features a rugged, compact design with integrated
dual 4G/LTE WAN ports, 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, 802.11n Wi-Fi access point with multiple
SSID supports, and two multi-function USB 2.0 host interfaces for Storage/NAS. Quality of Service
(QoS), SPI firewall, and advanced VPN integration provide security needed to enhance theoperations
of Public Safety, EnergyWellhead and Gas Industry, Industrial M2M Segment, PoS/Kiosks/ATM, Fleet
Management, and Smart Transportation/Bus.
Vehicle Tracking System
MX-1000 is embedded with a GNSS receiver for GPS or GLONASS. To co-work with On-Board
Diagnostics(OBD) system, it eases the central control of geographically-dispersed fleets by
presenting individual vehicles' detailed information, including remaining fuel levels, rapid
accelerations, and locations.
4G/LTE Mobility
To offer an advanced network solution that meets the growing demands of M2M services, MX-1000
exclusively features dual WAN - load balance or auto-failover/failback to provide extraordinary,
always-on internet connectivity. In addition to the deployment of Dual4G LTE modules and Dual SIMs,
MX-1000 broadens wireless coverage to rough terrains and rural areas and persists seamless
connectivity without interruptions
Robust Design to Withstand in the Harshest Environments
The industrial-grade enclosure is designed to resist heat, dust, moisture and provides long-term
operation in the toughest of environments. MX-1000 supports an extended temperatures range from
-40 to 140º F ( -40 to 60º C) for extremely challenging conditions such as industrial automation, mining
plants, wellhead & gas drilling, manufacturing factories, and virtually anywhere that requires a robust
wireless connection.
Wireless Mobility and Security
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, this router delivers up to 3 times the wireless
coverage of a 802.11b/g network device, so that wireless access is available everywhere in the house
or office. If your network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
allows you to expand your wireless network without additional wires or cables. MX-1000 also supports
the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard and allows users to establish a secure wireless network

just by pressing a button. Multiple SSIDs allow users to access different networks through a single
access point. Network managers can assign different policies and functions for each SSID, increasing
the flexibility and efficiency of the network infrastructure.
Secure VPN Connections (Optional)
The MX-1000 supports comprehensive and robust IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols for
business users to establish private encrypted tunnels over the public Internet to secure data
transmission between headquarters and branch offices. It also supports VPN dial in from smart
phones for secure remote Internet connection via your home broadband. With a built-in DES/3DES
VPN accelerator, the router enhances IPSec VPN performance significantly.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use
it in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an
operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6
protocol stacks either independently or in a hybrid form. The hybrid form is commonly implemented in
modern operating systems supporting IPv6.
Quick Start Wizard
Support a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, simple steps will get you
connected to the Internet immediately.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
