For the Construction of Industrial IoT Networks, Compact and Economical

An industrial router called the PLANET WGR-500 is made for Internet of Things (IoT) networks used in business, government, transportation, agriculture, and other public spaces. Any network environment and reliable operation are made possible by its small size and redundant power design.

The WGR-500 offers the following unique administration and operating characteristics, making it the ideal industry router application solution:

• Design of the Setup Wizard with IPv6/IPv4 support
• functioning mode for switches and routers
• 802.1Q VLAN-secured firewall
• Performance of internet NAT routing is accelerated by HW NAT.
• Design for redundant 9-48V DC power

Support for IPv6 in IoT Networking

With billions of new IoT gadgets hitting the market every year, IPv4 is having trouble keeping up with the demands of tying all the IoT products together. Every current and future IoT device will have a unique 64-bit host ID thanks to IPv6's highly scalable address architecture. It is adequate to meet the requirements of every communication device, both current and future. This implies that IPv6 eliminates the need to work around all of the conventional NAT and firewall concerns and enables IoT devices to be uniquely addressable.

To ensure industrial Ethernet has a seamless migration path from IPv4-based networks to the entire IPv6 infrastructure, the WGR-500 supports both IPv6 and IPv4. It provides clients with IPv6 addresses and routes IPv6 traffic through an IPv4 environment. Implementations of IPv4 tunneling (6to4 transition tunnel) for IoT connectivity are supported by the WGR-500.

Safe Firewall Defense

The goal of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is to squander resources, preventing users from connecting to networks and using applications. There are two types of DoS attacks: volume-based attacks like UDP/ICMP floods and other spoofed-packet floods that would overburden the bandwidth of the targeted website, and SYN floods and ping of death that use actual server resources, or those of intermediate communication equipment, such as firewalls and load balancers.

In order to protect IoT devices from networking assaults like denial-of-service (DoS) and emerging malicious traffic before attacks take place, the WGR-500 offers firewall. With firewall protection, it maintains networking more secure and shields IoT networks from dangers.

Support for VLAN for Secure and Isolated Traffic

The logical grouping method to divide the physical ports of an Ethernet switch is provided by virtual LANs (VLANs). It has the ability to divide private networks into various segments for various users. Locally heavy traffic will happen if there are too many computers or networking devices in the same network segment. Additionally, VLANs offer improved network security by allowing network managers to control each port and the resources that are made available to it.

The WGR-500 may function as an intelligent traffic forwarder to manage traffic and isolate connections between two groups. It supports 802.1Q VLAN to separate traffic from users and IoT devices. It will enhance network security in addition to optimizing bandwidth.

Contemporary Wall-mount Installation

The WGR-500 is uniquely made to be fitted in a small space, such a wall enclosure. Any place with limited room may readily accommodate the small, flat, and wall-mounted design. It utilizes the "Front Access" design, which makes installing and cable wiring simple. The WGR-500's versatility in use is increased by the possibility of fixed wall mounting, magnetic wall mounting, or DIN rail installation.

High Availability Network System Dual Power Input

To increase system dependability and uptime, the WGS-500 has a robust dual power input system (9V48V DC) integrated into the customer's automation network. In the example below, the hardware failover capability will be enabled automatically to continue powering the WGS-500 through the DC plug power option without any loss of functionality when the 2-pin terminal block fails to function.
