4 Performance characteristics
• On-board 2-level remote access key
◦ Pos. REM: trigger remote access connection
◦ Pos. ONL: alarms, dashboards & router administration
◦ Pos. OFF: no connection with mbCONNECT24
• The router can be fully congured via the portal mbCONNECT24 or using the
web interface via locally connected computer, or remotely.
• Deployable worldwide using GSM modem connections, plus access via LAN, WLAN and
Internet.
• Secure connection using an integrated rewall with IP lter, NAT and port forwarding,
VPN with AES, DES/3DES/DESX, Blowsh or RC2 encryption, and authentication via
pre-shared key (PSK), static key or certicate (X.509).
• Alarmmanagement:
◦ Fully congurable digital inputs and outputs, and the ability to send via email, SMS or
Internet dial-up.
◦ Via remote output switching in the event of a fault or with an active Internet connection.
• Integrated server secures all settings, keys and certicates and allows data sharing within
the network via connected USB ash or hard drive.
• Variable RS232, RS485, RS422 RS interface or optional MPI/PROFIBUS for connecting
control systems.
• Upgradable to full IOT-Gateway capabilities (see mbEDGE).
• Multi-colored LEDs for clear state-signaling.
NOTE:
elctrostatic discharge!
Observe the necessary safety
precautions when handling compo-
nents that are vulnerable to
electrostatic discharge (EN 61340-5-1 and IEC
61340-5-1)!
The mbNET routers are maintenance-free
units.
If an mbNET router have damage or malfun-
ction, the device must be immediately taken

8 First time operation
Connect, depending on device type, an antenna, and insert a SIM card.
Before connecting the router to a network or PC, rst ensure that it is properly connected
to a power supply, otherwise it may cause damage to other equipment.
• Connect equipotential bonding
to the grounding lug on the router’s top panel.
• Connect the (10-30V DC) power supply to the
X1 terminal of the router.
Make sure that the polarity is correct.
◦ After switching on the supply voltage the Pwr LED lights up and the device performs
a system check.
◦ After about 90 sec., both LED Pwr and Rdy light up and Fc1 is ashing green (5 Hz).
The mbNET is now ready for operation.
The ashing LED Fc1 signals that the function SIMPLY.connect *
is ready but not yet activated.
To activate the function, press the Dial Out button until Fc1 lights up.
If you do not want to use the function, simply ignore the ashing LED Fc1.

9 Initialconguration
Requirements:
• You have a user account on the Remote Service Portal mbCONNECT24 V 2.x
If you do not have a user account on mbCONNECT24, please contact your system
administrator or authorized sales partner.
For more information about mbCONNECT24 see www.mbconnectline.com
• Windows PC with remote client software mbDIALUP * installed .
With mbDIALUP you establish a secure VPN connection to mbCONNECT24.
* The latest version can be downloaded on www.mbconnectline.com
Generallyfollowingprocedureapplies:
• Add the mbNET in the portal mbCONNECT24 as a new device.
• Enter the necessary basic data, so that the device can connect to the portal (for example,
device name, network settings, connection information, etc.).
• Transfer the device conguration from the portal into the mbNET.
• After the mbNET has been connected to the portal, it can be congured completely there.
More information about conguring devices, see the mbNET Manual (download under
www.mbconnectline.com) or in the mbCONNECT24 online help.
