Description
The MR-200 router is an GPRS router designed to be compatible with the current and 
future requirements of remote telemetry and industrial control systems applications. The 
unit has an integral Ethernet port and a 25 pin RS-232 serial interface for local connec-
tivity.
The Ethernet interface supports Multicasting (IGMP), VLAN, SNMP, SNTP, FTP, SNMP as 
well as all the standard TCP, UDP and DHCP protocols.
The inbuilt RS-232 port can be used to connect legacy serial based equipment such as
PLCs, RTUs or IEDs. Alternatively the internal serial port can be used as a backup con-
nection to the remote site when used in conjunction with a suitable Westermo Modem.
The MR-200 router has an integrated stateful inspection firewall and can support 5 
IPSEC VPN (Virtual Private Network) terminations which can be secured using optional 
3DES, AES, SSL, SSH encryption, and MD5, SHA1 key exchange protocols. These features 
ensure that the remote sites can use the latest security technology to resist denial of 
service attacks and hacking. The VPN’s can be used as a way of increasing security and to 
create secure tunnels, running between sites. The VPNs can be used to interconnect the 
sites effectively replacing the requirement for dedicated leased lines. The VPN tunnels can 
be terminated on either another MR-200 ADSL router or on a Westermo DR-200 ADSL 
router. An optional license for 50 VPN terminations is also available.
The MR-200 can also be used for remote sites access, allowing the user to browse WEB 
pages, monitor / edit PLCs or access any device connected to the LAN. The MR-200 will 
allow devices connected on the LAN side to send emails or connect to FTP servers for 
transferring files.
The MR-200 supports VRRP (Virtual Redundant Router Protocol) allowing multiple physi-
cal routers to share a single gateway and provide multiple backup WAN connections. 
For complex network applications the MR-200 supports OSPF and RIP2. The MR-200 
is supplied with a complete mounting kit for DIN rail, wall or shelf mounting. The wide 
temperature range and 24VDC supply ensure that the MR-200 can be used in industrial 
applications without the need for modification or consideration of the environmental 
conditions.
The MR-250 has got all the functionality of the MR-200 plus EDGE, 3G and HSDPA 
capapbility. The MR-250 will at all times use the communication method with the fastest 
transmission speed. If HSDPA is not available the unit will automatically switch down to 
3G, EDGE or GPRS respectively.
