Application Guide — EIPR Series

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.
