What is the function of 4g industrial router

4G routers are mainly used for 4G users' Internet access and wireless coverage. The wireless router can be directly connected to all the ADSL MODEM or CABLE MODEM connected to the Ethernet, or it can be re-connected through the switch/hub, broadband router and other LAN methods when in use. It has a built-in simple virtual dial-up software that can store user names and passwords to dial-up Internet access, and can provide automatic dial-up functions for dial-up Internet access ADSL, CM, etc., without manual dialing or occupying a computer as a server. In addition, wireless routers generally have relatively more complete security protection functions.

Industrial router function

From the point of view of filtering network traffic, the role of industrial-grade routers is very similar to that of switches and bridges. But unlike switches that work at the physical layer of the network and physically divide network segments, industrial 4G routers use special software protocols to logically divide the entire network. For example, an industrial LTE router that supports the IP protocol can divide the network into multiple subnet segments, and only network traffic directed to a special IP address can pass through the industrial-grade 4G router. For each received data packet, the industrial-grade LTE router will recalculate its check value and write a new physical address.

Therefore, the speed of forwarding and filtering data using industrial entire network routers is often slower than that of switches that only view the physical addresses of data packets. However, for those networks with complex structures, the use of industrial full Netcom routers can improve the overall efficiency of the network. Another obvious advantage of an industrial-grade full network router is that it can automatically filter network broadcasts. Generally speaking, the entire installation process of adding an industrial-grade full Netcom router to the network is much more complicated than a plug-and-play switch.

How to use industrial routers

The use of 4G industrial routers requires a SIM card, antenna and power adapter. Usually after purchasing a 4G industrial router, the antenna and power supply will be shipped with the order as product accessories, but the SIM card needs to be purchased separately. After all accessory products are prepared, start to install 4G industrial routers for networking use.

First, remove the SIM card slot and install the SIM card;

Secondly, connect the 4G antenna and the WIFI antenna;

Third, connect the computer network port to the router's LAN port through a network cable;

Fourth, configure the parameters of the computer network card and choose to automatically obtain the IP;

Fifth, after the power is turned on, the work indicator lights up in sequence to achieve networking.

In the computer's browser, enter the login URL of the 4G industrial router, enter the initial account password, and use the test tool to test the Internet. At the same time, you can also test the network speed.

The use of industrial routers on equipment can mainly be seen from its functions. Generally, industrial routers have the following functions:

Support operator private network APN and virtual private network VPN (including VPN client, VPN sever), VPN supports PPTP, L2TP protocol;

Support QOS management service, set device priority and device, application bandwidth limit, various networked server management easier;

Support DHCPserver and DHCPclient, DHCP binding MAC address, real-time display of data transmission rate and other functions;

Support TCP/IP, UDP, FTP, HTTP and other network protocols, easy to use, flexible, and multiple working mode options;

Convenient system configuration and maintenance interface (including local and remote WEB and CLI methods);

Support multiple WAN connection methods, including static IP, DHCP, L2TP, PPTP, PPPOE, 2G/3G/4G;

Support remote management, SSHD, HTTPS and other functions;

Support local and remote online upgrades, import and export configuration files, support NTP, built-in RTC;

Support multiple DDNS at home and abroad;

Support MAC address cloning, PPPoE server;

Support multiple online and offline trigger modes, including SMS, phone ringing, serial port data, and network data trigger online and offline modes.
