3. ROUTER DESCRIPTION
3. Router Description
Cellular router SPECTRE v3 LTE is designed for wireless communication in mobile net-
works that make use of LTE, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS technology. 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 wireless connection of traffic and security camera systems, individual
computers, LAN networks, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.
As a standard, cellular router is equipped with two Ethernet 10/100, 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 placed on the rear panel of the router. An integral part
of the router is also a memory card reader. This reader allows SPECTRE v3 LTE to operate
with microSD cards and increase storage space of the router up to 64 GB (32 GB in case of
SDHC cards). The router can be equipped with WiFi module on customer’s request, however
it is not possible to add it to the router at some time in the future. Richer range of interfaces
is available in versions containing one of these ports: SWITCH – three switched Ethernets;
RS232 – serial interface; RS232-RS485/422 – combination of serial interface RS232 and
RS485/422. SPECTRE v3 LTE is supplied either in a plastic or metal casing, based on the
requirements of the customer.
For configuration of the cellular router is available web interface protected by password.
Web interface provides (after logging in) detailed statistics about the router activities, signal
strength, detailed system log etc. This device supports the creation of VPN tunnels using tech-
nologies IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP for secure communications. There are also supported
functions such as DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, backup primary
connection and many other functions.
Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include automatic inspec-
tion of PPP connection offering an automatic restart feature – in case of connection losses, or
hardware watchdog which monitors the status of the router. Using a special window (start up
script window) you may insert Linux scripts for various actions. For some applications is crucial
the possibility to create several different configurations for one router. These configurations can
be switched as necessary (for example using SMS, binary input status, etc.). Cellular wireless
routers SPECTRE v3 LTE may automatically upgrade configuration and firmware from server.
This allows mass reconfiguration of many routers in one time.
For further facilitating of workikg with routers can be used any additional software, e.g.
R-SeeNet for permanent traffic monitoring of routers.
Examples of possible applications
•mobile office
•fleet management
•security system
•telematic
•telemetric
•remote monitoring
•vending and dispatcher machines

Figure 21: Basic dimensions of router box
5.5 Mechanical dimensions and mounting recommendations
Mounting recommendations:
•possibility to be put on a work surface,
•DIN rail with clips CPD3 (or CKD2 for metal version) are included.
For the most of applications with a built-in router in a switch board it is possible to recognize
two kinds of environments:
•no public and industry environment of low voltage with high interference,
•public environment of low voltage without high interference.
For both of these environments it is possible to mount router to a switch board, the following
there is no need to have examination immunity or issues in connection with EMC according to
EN 60439-1 ed.2:00 + A1:04.
For compliance of EN 60439-1 ed.2:00 + A1:04 specification it is necessary to observe
next assembly of the router to the switch – board:
•For whip antennas we recommend to observe a distance of 6 cm from cables and metal
surfaces on every side due to the elimination of interference. While using an external
antenna except for the switch-board it is necessary to fit a lightening conductor.
•Before mounting a router on sheet-steel we recommend using a "cable" antenna.
•For every cables we recommend to bind the bunch, we recommend for this use:
–Length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) can be maxi-
mum 1.5 m. If the length of data cables exceeds 1.5 m or in the event of, the cable
leads towards the switch – board. We recommend installing over – voltage protec-
tors (surge suppressors).
