Another great advantage of this version is the possibility to choose between different equipment variants. The router can be fitted with a Wi-Fi module and other ports such as SWITCH, RS232 or RS485/RS232. The router is delivered in plastic or metal packaging according to the customer's needs.
Benefits of these Advantech routers do not just end with the modularity of their physical interfaces. The router allows you to access its control from anywhere, thanks to secure web interface. The router can also upgrade its configuration and firmware from the operator’s central server, allowing for simultaneous mass reconfiguration of every router on the network. The user can also insert their own Linux scripts and create several different configurations for the same router. These configurations then can be switched at any time.
