SmartStart SL306

INTELLIGENT 4G LTE ROUTER & GATEWAY

+ 4G LTE Cat.4 Cellular connectivity
+ Ethernet, serial RS-232 and I/O for connecting a wide array of field assets

with DIN rail or wall mounting

+ Sleep mode for solar and battery power applications
+ Exceptionally resilient wireless and wired connection
+ Enhanced memory to host custom software applications and a wide variety

of protocols
+ Easy deployment, mass maintenance and troubleshooting with
B+B SmartWorx remote management and monitoring tools
+ Loaded with advanced features to secure your data

The SmartStart™ LTE family of cellular routers and gateways are the perfect way to
connect RS-232 and Ethernet devices to a cellular network. Industrial M2M and IoT
applications include Ethernet lottery machines, ATM stations, kiosks, gaming terminals
along with RS-232 trac controllers, meters, UPS systems, PLCs and much more.

The processor is powerful enough to handle the full range of LTE communications
capabilities, including video streams. The internal memory provides ample storage for
custom scripts, software applications and a wide variety of protocols. In addition to its
Ethernet and RS-232 ports, SmartStart™ has built-in digital I/O connectivity. Competing
routers in the same price range generally provide only Ethernet or RS-232. StartSmart™
provides all three.

SmartStart™ combines best-in-class power consumption with LTE performance and
is optimized for solar and battery powered applications. Sleep mode extends battery
life by dropping power consumption to 40 mW, and can be triggered by timers, low
voltage detection or I/O. SmartStart™ is the industry’s only cellular gateway with power

consumption equivalent to 2G devices. It is DIN rail and panel mountable.
The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe
communications. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic
monitoring of the wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of
connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router status.

SmartStart™ is an excellent t for applications that are migrating to LTE technology.
SmartStart™ provides fallback to 3G/2G technologies to ensure that connectivity is
reliable in areas where LTE is still under development. This futureproofs your existing
installations and protects your investment. You can upgrade your systems according
to your own schedule, as SmartStart™ will continue to connect your legacy devices,
even after the cellular providers sunset their 2G and 3G cellular networks.

SmartStart™ is easy to install using SmartWorx HUB™, a full featured conguration
and monitoring tool. Our VPN conguration tool, SmartCluster™, makes it easy to
congure multiple routers via the same VPN tunnel.

Router Management Software consisting of two parts:
R-SeeNet Server application can be programmed to automatically send SNMP

queries (Simple Network Management Protocol) to each router defined in the
network. The application retrieves status information from the routers and
records it in the SQL database.

R-SeeNet PHP is a web-based application that accesses the SQL database and

provides the network administrator detailed information on individual routers
and network health.
