Safety information

Before installation:

Read this manual completely and gather all information on the unit. Make sure
that you understand it fully. Check that your application does not exceed the safe
operating specifications for this unit.

The unit must be installed by a service person and connected to a protective
earthing contact. Disconnect all telecommunication network connectors and
cable distribution system connectors before disconnecting the protective earthing
contacts.

This unit should be built-in to an apparatus cabinet, or similar, where access is
restricted to service personnel only.

The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused, and if necessary it must be
possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance to
national installation regulations.

This unit uses convection cooling. To avoid obstructing the airflow around the unit,
follow the spacing recommendations (see Cooling section).

This unit uses negative earth, therefore the 0 V and protective earth must be
connected to ensure robust functionality.

Before mounting, using or removing this unit:

Prevent access to hazardous voltage by disconnecting the unit from power supply.
Warning! Do not open connected unit. Hazardous voltage may occur within this
unit when connected to power supply.

Care recommendations

Follow the care recommendations below to maintain full operation of unit and to fulfil
the warranty obligations.

This unit must not be operating with removed covers or lids. Do not attempt to
disassemble the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not drop, knock
or shake the unit, rough handling above the specification may cause damage to internal
circuit boards. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents
to clean the unit. Do not paint the unit. Paint can clog the unit and prevent proper
operation. Do not expose the unit to any kind of liquids (rain, beverages, etc). The unit
is not waterproof. Keep the unit within the specified humidity levels. Do not use or

Description

Remote access removes boundaries, eliminates the need for time consuming site visits
and provides a network infrastructure suitable for today's “always-on” society. The BRD­355 is an industrially designed xDSL (ADSL/VDSL2) broadband router built to cope with
harsh environments and the characteristics of industrial applications. The unit supports a
wide range of xDSL-standards and has support for long lines.

Most devices today comes equipped with an Ethernet port for communications,
therefore the BRD-355 has a built-in two port Ethernet switch. For legacy connectivity
the unit also features one RS-232-port to provide multiple connection possibilities for
both new and legacy replacement installations. Designed to be installed on a DIN-rail
all connectors and LEDs have been positioned in the front of the unit, facing the user
for easy access and fast status feedback. With wide power input range, the unit can be
powered from 10 to 60 VDC and has low power consumption.

The cyber security features of the BRD-355 prevent unauthorized access and secure the
communication for Internet-enabled applications. The easy to use firewall filters incoming
traffic, allowing only approved packets to pass through. To inter-connect units with each
other securely over the Internet multiple VPN technologies are supported, including
IPsec and OpenVPN.

Upgrading legacy solutions to become IP-enabled can prove both costly and tedious
therefore the BRD-355 includes a wide feature set for various legacy applications
including both modem replacement methods as well as serial to Ethernet conversion.
If there are applications that require extra attention Westermo's extensive experience
from over 35 years within industrial data communications and over 5 years of industrial
xDSL expertise will be available to assist you.

LED Indicators

LED Status Description

STS

Status

RED Indicates a fault, except during boot-up

RED FLASH Indicates a fault, except during boot-up

GREEN All OK

GREEN & ONE RED FLASH All OK but no VPN peer connected

xDSL

Link status

OFF No ADSL connection

GREEN FLASH Negotiating with the provider DSLAM

GREEN All OK, ADSL link established

STS LED – Status indicator

The status indicator reports the health of the unit. In normal operation the indicator will
be green, however, if a fault is detected, either at boot-up or during normal operation,
the indicator will light red. When the unit is first switched on or is reset, the indicator
will first light red then flash red. This is normal behavior during boot-up and does not
indicate a fault.

Configuring a VPN connection in the BRD-355 and activating the service will cause the
STS LED to be lit GREEN but FLASH RED every third (3) second to indicate that no
peer is connected on the VPN. The feature of the VPN status in the STS LED makes it
easy for staff to see whether or not the VPN connection is working without having to
login to the device.

DSL LED – xDSL link status

The DSL LED reports the status of the connection to the network. When powered
up the indicator will be off, the indicator will then flash green whilst the unit tries to
negotiate the link with the provider DSLAM, once successfully connected to the provider
the indicator will light green to indicate that everything is ready and functioning on the
xDSL link level.

6623-2232

Factory Default Reset Switch

The reset switch is used to restore the configuration of the BRD-355 to the factory
default settings (for details about the default settings see the Getting started section).
The switch is accessed through a small hole, adjacent to the xDSL and STS LEDs, labeled
C on the front of the unit.

To reset the configuration:

• Power down the unit.

• Using a suitable tool depress the reset switch.

• Power up the unit ensuring the switch remains depressed for approximately 5 seconds
after power is applied. The STS LED will flash twice to indicate a reset.

• Once the unit has booted-up it will use the default settings.

Note: Using the factory default reset switch will erase all existing configuration settings

and restore the factory default settings.

Getting started

Power Supply

The BRD-355 requires a DC power source in the voltage range of 10 to 60 VDC. The
unit is designed to self protect from permanent damage if the voltage exceeds 60 VDC
or if reverse polarity is applied. The router may need to be returned for service if this
occurs. The router can also be damaged if there is any potential difference between the
chassis-ground, RS-232 signal ground or power (–) input. Before connecting any wiring,
ensure all components are earthed to a common ground point. An external isolator will

be required if a positive earth power supply is used.

Ethernet

The Ethernet ports are on the front of the unit and are marked LAN 1 and LAN 2, each
port has a LED indicating the connection speed and a LED indicating activity as shown in
figure below. Both ports are capable of auto-negotiation, meaning cross-over cables are
not required. The Ethernet ports are switched, allowing more than one Ethernet device
to be connected to the unit at one time.

Configuration

Accessing and Using the Web Interface

All configuration of the BRD can be done via the web interface. In order to view the
web pages a computer with a fixed IP address, on the same sub-net as the BRD, will
need to be connected to one of the LAN ports.

The default IP settings of the BRD are:

• IP Address: 192.168.2.200

• Netmask: 255.255.255.0

The recommended IP settings for the PC used to configure the BRD Router:

• IP Address: 192.168.2.100

• Netmask: 255.255.255.0

• Default Gateway: 192.168.2.200

• Primary DNS: 192.168.2.200
Note: Although it is possible to connect the BRD directly to a Local Area Network

(LAN) it is recommend that the network configuration as described in this sec­tion is performed prior to doing so. The DHCP server of the unit is by default
disabled.

Accessing the BRD

• Open a web browser on the PC and browse to http://192.168.2.200
(the default MRD, IP address) .

• A login box will popup. If the box fails to display, re-check the cable connections to the
unit and the IP address settings of the PC.

Enter the following login details:

• User Name: admin

• Password: westermo

17

6623-2232

• The Status summary page will be displayed, it will be similar to Figure 3.

Figure 3

Note: If the unit is not yet configured it is likely that the Network Status and

Connection Status will indicate a fault condition. This is normal.

18

6623-2232

Cooling

The router should be mounted in a
clean and dry location, protected from
water, excessive dust, corrosive fumes,
extremes of temperature and direct
sunlight. Allow sufficient ventilation to
ensure adequate cooling of the router.
