1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Moxa MAR-2000 programmable RISC-platform multi-WAN router.
The MAR-2000 is a multi-WAN router with 802.11n, GPS, and 3G GSM/HSPA+ interfaces. It features 2
RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 2 Ethernet ports, 4 digital input channels, 4 digital output channels, a
CompactFlash socket, and 2 USB 2.0 ports. The MAR-2000 is particularly well-suited for rolling stock or other
vehicle applications, giving a solid, convenient foundation for configuring an intelligent, cost-effective,
multiple-WAN mobile communications environment.
This manual introduces the hardware of the MAR-2000 multi-WAN router, with a focus on installing and
configuring the hardware.

Overview
The MAR-2000 series is a compact programmable RISC-based wireless mobile router with strong wireless
routing capabilities. Featuring a built-in GPS module, HSPA+ cellular and 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless capabilities,
independent power switches on its cellular module connectors and high thermal tolerance, the MAR-2000 is
compliant with a portion of EN 50155 specifications. The built-in 32 MB NOR Flash ROM and 512 MB SDRAM
give you enough memory to your application software, and the 512 MB NAND Flash can be used to provide
additional data storage. The MAR-2000 also provides one CompactFlash socket for future storage expansion.
The built-in GPS module supports geo-fencing functionality, making it ideal for managing wireless connections
in cross-WAN environments, such as are found in rolling stock or other vehicle applications.
The MAR-2000 offers optimal data routing with the built-in dynamic routing feature. When a train travels to a
different region, it often faces different wireless interface switches, such as WiFi, UMTS and HSPA+. Through
multiple-WAN support and backup, the MAR-2000 helps ensure that your wireless connections are always
available.
The MAR-2000 series includes wide temperature models designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures
ranging from -25 to 70°C.
The MAR-2000 provides an easy way to configure the routing between your various network interfaces.
Advantages of MAR-2000 include the following:
•Intelligent policy configuration: Users can easily automate system configuration for heterogeneous
networks.
•Multiple routing technology: Network bandwidth efficiency is easily optimized and network traffic jams
are easily avoided.
