Description
Remote access removes boundaries, eliminates the need
for time consuming site visits and provide a network
infrastructure suitable for today’s “always-on” society.
The MRD-405 uses the Internet to cost effectively
interconnect systems, allowing HMI, PLCs, sensors etc
to communicate with each other.
A compact design bundled with all interfaces and LEDs
in the front make the unit extremely well suited for
industrial applications. Easy integration with other
devices is achieved using the built-in two port Ethernet
switch.
The stability of mobile connections can be affected by a
variety of parameters and in order to ensure constant
connectivity, the MRD-series features the customer-
praised connection manager. The unit will monitor the
cellular connection and, without human-interaction, solve most network related issues,
preventing unnecessary powercycle site visits!
Devices connected to the Internet require countermeasures towards cyber threats. The
MRD-405 offers protection of transmissions from malicious eavesdroppers via encrypted
communication tunnels (VPN), and features a simple, yet powerful, packet inspection
firewall.
Configuring the unit is very easy with the built-in web-interface, no need for special
AT-commands or similar. The device can also provide both management and monitoring
via SMS, for example an SMS could be sent to start a VPN. .

* To minimise the risk of interference, a shielded cable is recommended when the cable is located inside 3 m
boundary to the rails and connected to this port. The cable shield should be properly connected (360º) to an
earthing point within 1 m from this port. This earthing point should have a low impedance connection to the
conductive enclosure of the apparatus cabinet, or similar, where the unit is built-in. This conductive enclosure
should be connected to the earthing system of an installation and may be directly connected to the protective
earth.

Status Indicator
The status indicator reports the health of the unit. In normal operation, the indicator
will be GREEN, if a fault is detected either at boot-up or during normal operation the
indicator will light RED, or flash RED. When the unit is first switched on or is reset, the
indicator will first light RED, this is normal behavior during boot-up and does not indicate
a fault. If the indicator does not light up when power is applied check the power supply
voltage and connections.
Factory Default Reset Switch
The reset switch is used to restore the configuration of the MRD to factory default
settings. The switch is accessed through a small hole on the front of the unit, next to the
STS LED.
To reset the configuration:
• Power down the unit.
• Use a suitable tool and depress the reset switch.
• Power up the unit ensuring the switch remains depressed for approximately 10
seconds after power is applied. The STS LED will flash twice to indicate a reset.
• The router will now re-boot as normal with the factory default settings.
Note: Using the Factory Default Reset Switch will erase all existing configuration settings
and restore the factory default settings. This includes the network connection
profile settings APN, user name and password.

Getting Started
Installing the SIM Card
…Insert the SIM card into the SIM card reader with the
contacts facing up.
Note: Before removing or inserting the SIM card, ensure
that the power has been turned off and the power
connector has been removed from the MRD.
Connecting the Antenna(s)
The unit has one antenna connector (SMA). Please ensure that the connecting nut is
done up tightly in order to make a good connection.
Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the Power Supply The MRD requires a DC power source in the voltage
range of 10 to 36 VDC. The unit is designed to self protect from permanent damage if
the voltage exceeds 36 VDC or if reverse polarity is applied. The router may need to
be returned for service if this occurs. The router can also be damaged if there is any
potential difference between the chassis ground, power (–) input, or antenna shield.
Before connecting any wiring, ensure all components are earthed to a common ground
point. An external isolator will be required if a positive earth power supply is used.
Ethernet
The Ethernet ports are on the front of the unit and are marked LAN 1
and LAN 2, each port has a LED indicating the connection speed and a
LED indicating activity as shown in figure below. Both ports are capable
of auto-negotiation, meaning cross-over cables are not required. The
Ethernet ports are switched, allowing more than one Ethernet device to be
connected to the unit at one time.

Configuration
Accessing and Using the Web Interface
All configuration of the MRD can be done via the web interface. In order to view the
web pages a computer with a fixed IP address, on the same sub-net as the MRD, will
need to be connected to one of the LAN ports.
The default IP settings of the MRD are:
• IP Address: 192.168.2.200
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
The recommended IP settings for the PC used to configure the MRD Router:
• IP Address: 192.168.2.100
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.2.200
• Primary DNS: 192.168.2.200
Note: Although it is possible to connect the MRD directly to a Local Area Network
(LAN) it is recommend that the network configuration as described in this
section is performed prior to doing so. The DHCP server of the unit is by default
disabled.
Windows PC Network Settings
The following describes how to configure the network settings of a PC with Windows 7
so that it can access the MRD.
Note: This procedure will change the network settings of the Windows PC, if the PC is
connected to a network the connection should be removed before performing
the changes. To restore the network, settings of the PC record the current
settings at Step 7 in the following procedure, then when the MRD has been
configured, follow the procedure again and use the recorded values at Step 7.
1. Open the Control Panel by selecting Start > Control Panel.
2. Click the Network and Sharing Center icon.
3. Click Change Adapter Settings.
4. Double click the Network icon.
5. The Local Area Connection Status dialog box will be displayed, click the Properties
button.
6. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, as shown in Figure 1, will be
displayed
Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4) to highlight it and then click the Properties
button.

Note: If a web browser was open prior to making the network changes, then it will
need to be closed and re-started before attempting to connect to the MRD.

6623-2212
Accessing the MRD
• Open a web browser on the PC and browse to http://192.168.2.200 (the default MRD,
IP address) .
• A login box will popup. If the box fails to display, re-check the cable connections to the
unit and the IP address settings of the PC.
Enter the following login details:
• User Name: admin
• Password: westermo
• The Status summary page will be displayed, it will be similar to Figure 3.
Figure 3
Note: If the unit is not yet configured it is likely that the Network Status and
Connection Status will indicate a fault condition. This is normal.

Basic Configuration
The three sections below detail the steps needed to configure the MRD for basic packet
mode functionality. For details on how to configure the unit for Circuit Switched mode
and for more advanced configuration refer to the Advanced Configuration section of the
Reference Guide.
Configure the Wireless interface
To access the configuration page for the Wireless interface, click on Wireless. The Basic
Wireless configuration page will be displayed as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4
Network Configuration
The ”Network Configuration”section contains the settings for the operational mode and
the frequency band of the unit, the default settings will usually be adequate to connect
the MRD to a packet based network.
