ADSL-2401M.S

Industrial ADSL modem with integrated serial port gateway





Introduction

The MuLogic ADSL-2401M.S is an ADSL2+ modem-router with Ethernet port and serial port.
The serial port is connected with an integrated serial port gateway which can be accessed via the LAN and the DSL port.


The modem is designed for industrial applications and can be powered from low voltage DC or AC power sources. The ADSL-2401M.S operates over a temperature range from -40°C to +75°C.

Application Areas

Remote access applications
The ADSL-2401M.S is intended for access to remote terminal units with an Ethernet port or serial port. The integrated Serial Port gateway allows the unit's serial port to be used as virtual com port of a central site PC. The network connection can be in TCP/IP or UDP/IP mode allowing the use of various tools like "virtual com port drivers", "serial to Ethernet converters" direct IP socket connection (e.g. "WinSock"), a dedicated application software or another ADSL-2401 unit. The serial port can also be accessed by means of a telnet connection.
The ADSL-2401M can be used to replace Dial-up and leased line modems and offers high speed Ethernet communications while maintaining support of serial communication. This allows for easy migration to the use of remote terminal units with Ethernet interface and other devices such as remote surveillance cameras while maintaining connectivity to devices with a serial port.

Replacing Dial-up modems for the ADSL-2401M.S cuts the costs for the telephone calls made for each session. The ADSL-2401M.S can be installed without the need for replacing the telephone line. Just add ADSL service on the existing line.

Information Security
As the unit in most cases will be connected to the public internet, extra security features such as IPsec VPN are supported. IPsec protects against unwanted access and eavesdropping of the data. The IPsec feature creates an encrypted virtual tunnel connection over the internet. Only devices at the end-points of the tunnel can communicate.
A single ADSL-2401 can support up to 10 IPsec tunnels. The IPsec tunnels can operate in routing mode (layer-3) but can also be used to bridge Ethernet frames (Layer-2).
In addition, access to the management functions of the unit, the serial port and the devices attached to the Ethernet port, can also be limited to pre-defined IP addresses, making it impossible to have access from unknown IP addresses.






Configuration and access control
The ADSL-2401M.S can be configured and managed in multiple ways:
  • Web browser.
  • Telnet connection.
  • SSH connection.
  • SNMP manager
Access restrictions can be set for each protocol for both local LAN port or access via the DSL network.
In addition, the serial port can be used for configuration, should no network connection be present.

The ADSL-2401M.S modems are equipped with a galvanic isolated power input. Three voltage ranges are available:
  • 11-36Vdc/11-28Vac.
  • 18-60Vdc/18-30Vac.
  • 18-72Vdc.
For mains power operation (100..240Vac) an external power adapter or power supply is used.
Extended temperature range
The modem can be used in many environments. It is suitable for operating at ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +75°C.
