IoT Gateway NG is purpose-built to connect and manage industrial devices in complex environments, where not all assets speak standard TCP/IP. With true Layer 2 VPN connectivity, it enables direct access to production networks—making it ideal for configuring PLCs, troubleshooting non-IP devices, and supporting legacy systems.
🛠️ How It Works
- Dual-Network Setup: Connects to the OT network via Port 1 using DHCP to integrate into the customer’s operations network.
- Direct Device Access: Offers up to 5 Ethernet ports for plugging in PLCs, robots, HMIs, and other line equipment.
- Flexible Expansion: Supports Ethernet switches to scale device connectivity on the cell network.
- Layer 2 VPN Connectivity: Provides a virtual cable-like experience, allowing discovery and access to non-IP or partially IP-compatible devices—just like being on-site.
🎯 Key Benefits
- ✅ Critical for Industrial Device Setup: Unlike Layer 3 VPNs, Layer 2 allows remote configuration of PLCs and legacy devices that don’t fully support TCP/IP.
- 🔍 Full Network Visibility: Enables true broadcast/multicast discovery, essential for many industrial protocols.
- 🔒 Secure, Firewall-Resilient Remote Access: Works reliably even across restrictive firewalls—ideal for secure remote support and diagnostics.
- 🧩 No Extra Configuration Needed: Seamless access to the device layer without needing to route, NAT, or adapt non-IP protocols.
