Seamless & Reliable Connection to Any Network
The RL1000GW provides connectivity to any copper, fiber optic, or cellular radio-based Ethernet
network. Fiber optic networks are supported by the use of the optional 100/1000FX SFP uplink
port. The optional highly resilient 2G/3G/4G LTE cellular radio uplink with 2 SIM card slots for
network redundancy, is ideal where fiber optic infrastructure is not available, and may be used as
a back-up link for those applications where interruption of service is not tolerable.
Extremely Effective Network Security, For the Most Mission-Critical Applications
Service Gateway
The RL1000GW service gateway includes a highly robust application layer, and provides legacy
support, a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) application-aware SCADA firewall, serial tunnelling,
protocol gateway, and extremely effective encryption technologies. The service gateway offers a
uniquely capable feature set which may serve as the hardware foundation to a secure industrial
controls network, and includes Protocol Gateway, VPN, and IPsec features.
Protocol Gateway
Gateway functionality between a DNP3 TCP client (master) and a DNP3 Serial RTU, IED, PLC, or
other compatible device is supported. This same functionality is supported across MODBUS TCP
to MODBUS RTU, and IEC 61850 101/104 TCP to IEC 61850 101/104 RTU. This level of protocol
conversion allows legacy protocols to be secured by enterprise and industry best practice level
encryption across a TCP IP-based network.
VPN
VPN tunnels are included for secure inter-site connectivity with IPsec, DM-VPN, and VPN GRE
tunnels with key management certificates. The supported VPN modes allow both layer-2 and layer3 services, to best suit the user’s application-specific cyber-protection needs.
IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications
by authenticating and/or encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec-VPN as well
as IPsec encryption are supported over other VPN technologies. By implementing this level of
industry-accepted encryption, data may traverse the network in a guaranteed delivery method, as
well as providing a cohesive and secure methodology for network communication across legacy and
modern networks.
Identity Management and Authentication Proxy Access (APA)
NERC-CIP-5 defines the important requirement for network security protection of remote and
unattended facilities. The capability of identifying the user and creating specific network privileges
per identified and authenticated user prior to granting the user access to the network therefore
becomes critical
The Authentication Proxy Access (APA) is a highly sophisticated security feature, which allows the
network operator to manage the substation or any other facility maintenance process. This feature
TECH SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
INS_RL1000GW_REV– 15 Jul 2016 PAGE 11
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL RL1000GW
gives full control of the maintenance process to the operator by granting the capability to create
dynamic policies to specific tasks within an explicitly defined time window. Following this time
window, operators receive reporting on activities performed during the task. This audit trail comes
in the form of an overview log, and a full packet capture (PCAP) of the session.
Before a user is allowed access to the network, they must log in to ComNet’s internal authentication
process with their unique user name and password. Upon validation of the user profile, specific
access is granted to predefined devices and functions, and each operation is logged. Multi-factor
authentication is available when combined with the Cyber-Physical Integration feature.
X.509 Certificate Exchange for VPN Connections
VPN tunnels for secure inter-site connectivity with IPsec VPN, GRE Tunnels, and DMVPN
technologies are fully supported. In addition to IPsec encryption, X.509 key management
certificates are provided. This certificate support allows for a secure signed key exchange
between a Certificate Authority, and two secure nodes. Having a third-party authority as a signing
participant offers end-to-end security that may be managed and reissued from a trusted central
source within the user’s network.
Cyber-Physical Integration
Integrated within the enhanced-security RL1000GW, is a physical identity server system,
allowing the use of external authentication hardware, such as magnetic card readers, biometric
identification sensors, facial recognition cameras, etc., to create a two-factor authentication to
the APA feature. This provides an additional level of validation of the user and his/her credentials,
prior to granting the user network access. Once the authentication is validated and approved, a
set of defined policies allow the authenticated technician to perform their task.
Enhanced SCADA-Aware Firewall
A whitelist-based firewall is provided for every Ethernet and serial data port, so full firewall
protection is available at all remote sites within the network. Every SCADA protocol packet (IEC
61850, DNP3 RTU/TCP, ModBus RTU/TCP, and IEC 101/104) is scanned and validated by the
firewall engine for its source and destination, as well as its protocol and packet content.
The structure of the distributed firewall allows the creation of a unique firewall at each access point
to the network. This is critical for securing against insider cyber-attacks, compromised field devices,
man-in-the-middle attacks, and a myriad of alternate attack vectors, by providing a secure baseline.
Two firewall states are included: Monitoring, and enforcing. The monitoring state provides an
alarm at the control center for any network violation, without blocking the network traffic. The
enforcing state is extremely effective for blocking suspicious traffic, while also triggering a
violation alarm at the control center.
ComNet’s distributed DPI firewall ensures that the operator will have full control over the network,
even when faced with a sophisticated attempt at breaching the network. Monitoring SCADA
commands, this highly robust whitelist-based firewall analyses SCADA network traffic, and is
TECH SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
INS_RL1000GW_REV– 15 Jul 2016 PAGE 12
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL RL1000GW
provided for every Ethernet and serial data port, so full firewall protection is available at all remote
sites within the network, as well as all IEDs, RTUs, PLCs, or any other device connected to the
network. Every SCADA protocol packet (IEC 61850, DNP3 RTU/TCP, ModBus RTU/TCP, and IEC
101/104) is scanned and validated by the firewall engine for its source and destination, as well as
its protocol and its specific packet
Any detected abnormal traffic behavioral patterns are blocked, any affected subnets are isolated,
and alerts are automatically generated.
Ease of Installation and Network Integration
High levels of cyber-security experience are not required to successfully deploy the RL1000GW. It
is fully supported by ComNet’s Reliance Product Configuration Utility and CLI, allowing the secure
switch/router to be easily configured, and to diagnose network and security functions.
Configuration of the secure firewall is also simple. Once connected to the user’s network, the
RL1000GW immediately begins to collect and analyse information across the network, including
from other connected devices, traffic behavior, etc. Recommended firewall rules are then
suggested to the user; the implementation of these rules is optional, and they can be easily edited
using the Configuration Utility.
OAM (IEEE 802.3-2005 & IEEE 802.1ag) and QoS are also supported. Strict priority, Weighted Round
Robin (WRR), ingress policing, and egress traffic shaping are included for traffic management.
Serial Data Interface
The 2-port serial interface is available for applications including terminal server with protocol
gateway and serial tunnelling functionality, and provides direct connectivity to legacy RS-232 or
4-wire RS-485 serial data IEDs, RTUs, PLCs, and other devices.

above and below the ComNet switch for proper air flow.
Logical Structure
Figure 4 - Logical system view, illustration
Grounding
To install the grounding wire:
» Prepare a minimum 10 American Wire Gauge (AWG) grounding wire terminated by a crimped
two-hole lug with hole diameter and spacing as shown in the below figure. Use a suitable
crimping tool to fasten the lug securely to the wire. Adhere to your company’s policy as to the
wire gauge and the number of crimps on the lug.
» Apply some anti-oxidant onto the metal surface.
» Mount the lug on the grounding posts, replace the spring-washers and fasten the bolts. Avoid
using excessive torque.
CAUTION – Do not remove the earth connection unless all power supply connections are
disconnected.
DANGER – Before connecting power to the platform, make sure that the grounding posts are
firmly connected to a reliable ground, as described below.

Supported Functionalities
The RL1000GW is a feature rich industrial router supporting:
» L3 dynamic and static Routing.
» SCADA services.
» Firewall.
» Secure networking.
The below table gives a high level view of the supported features.
User Configuration is taking effect immediately upon entering. No specific COMMIT command is
required. In order to have configuration changes available after system reboot a COMMIT must
take place.
The user can as well export his running configuration as a file with a chosen name for backup and
import the file back to boot the system with when needed.
User configuration is saved using the following command
RL1000GW# commit
Building configuration...
[OK]
Removing all user configuration and setting the router to its factory defaults is done by erasing
the RL1000GW.conf with the following command
RL1000GW# delete startup-cfg
RL1000GW# reload
Exporting the database is available using tftp to a tftp server.
RL1000GW# db export filename my-file-name remote-host aa.bb.cc.dd
NOTE: Importing of db file requires system reboot for its activation
