Atroos IoT Router

Peripheral Devices

The peripheral devices are micro-processor / micro-controller devices with Serial / Ethernet / WIFI / 2G / 3G communication interfaces. Their task, among other possible functionalities (eg tele-assistance), is to transform standard protocols, with serial or Ethernet connection (eg MODBUS), into protocols that are compatible with the platform.

Atroos IoT Router

It is a Network Router / Access Point equipped with WIFI and Ethernet interfaces. It has:

• an Ethernet / WAN interface, for connection to an ADSL router.
• a WIFI interface that serves as both an Access Point and a Client for creating and connecting to WIFI networks.
• a 4-port switch for connecting Ethernet devices.
• of a complete RS232 serial or alternatively of an RS485.
• a USB port to which you can connect:
  1. USB RS232 / RS485 / RS422 converters to expand the number of serial ports.
  2. wide choice of 2G / 3G / 4G modems in case of lack of ADSL connection or to create backup situations of Internet connectivity.

Among the services available, in addition to the classic ones of a network router (DHCP server, Firewall, Routing Engine, etc.), we have:

• Atroos IoT VPN Client: is a VPN client that – coupled with a Windows client – allows remote connection to all network devices connected to the router. The main feature of this service is that it does not require configurations of the host network (eg ADSL router, etc.) since it is able to pass through NAT and Firewall.
• Remote Serial Control: it is possible to remotize the devices connected to the router serial via IP according to the RFC2217 standard.
• Atroos IoT Cloud Platform Client: there is a client to the cloud platform that allows to collect measurements from devices connected via serial or Ethernet network with Modbus RTU / ASCII / TCPIP protocol. A simple WEB interface allows the configuration of this service.
