EIPR — Skorpion IP Router
With a DIN-rail mounting clip, rugged metal enclosure
and the ability to be powered from a low-voltage power
source, the EIPR is ideal for automation systems.
Although the EIPR has some of the same features
found in high-end routers, it is simple to install and
commission. Configuration is via a web browser.
The lower portion of the router connects the local-area-
network or the LAN side. The upper portion of the
router connects the wide-area-network or the WAN
side. A firewall — which can be disabled by the
user — separates the two portions.
In some cases, such as routing between two internal
LANs, it may be desirable to disable the firewall.
A firewall controls the passing of messages from one
side of router to the other. A stateful firewall makes
decisions based upon the structure of the message and
who is initiating and who is responding.
After connecting a USB Wi-Fi adapter (IEEE 802.11b,
802.11g, etc.), the EIPR can become a Wi-Fi access
point. This will allow Wi-Fi devices to wirelessly
communicate with the EIPR and with each other.
