Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the M!DGE are used in an appropriate manner within a well‐constructed network. M!DGE should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property.
As an alternative. you can configure a static IP address on your PC (e.g. 192.168.1.2/24) so that it is operating in the same subnet as the M!DGE. The M!DGE default IP address for first Eth interface is 192.168.1.1, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
M!DGE together with RACOM RipEX radio router offers an unrivalled solution for combining GPRS and UHF/VHF licensed radio in a single network. Even a single RipEX in the centre of a M!DGE network allows for efficient use of addressed serial SCADA protocols.
M!DGE in detail 2. M!DGE in detail Fig. 2.1: Front panel and terminal panel of M!DGE All M!DGE/MG102 Wireless Routers run M!DGE/MG102 Software. Software offers the following key features: • Interfaces and Connection Management (section Section 7.2, “INTERFACES”) ○ Dial-out (on demand, permanent) ○...
3.3. Centre of the network In every network, the centre plays a key role and has to be designed according to customer's require- ments. Several possible solutions are described in the application note M!DGE/MG102 CENTRE – Application note 3.4. VPN tunnels security of customer's data arriving through the mobile network is often very important.

Product 4.6.2. Demo case A rugged plastic case for carrying up to three RipEX's and one M!DGE 3G SCADA router. It also contains all the accessories needed to perform an on-site signal measurement, complete application bench-test or a functional demostration of both radiomodems and the 3G router. During a field test, units can be powered from the backup battery and external antenna can be connected to one of the RipEX units through the „N“...
Switch on your power supply. Status LED flashes for a few seconds and after 8 seconds it starts blinking to a green light. After approximately 30 seconds your M!DGE will have booted and will be ready; the Status LED remains shining on.
192.168.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0) so that it is operating in the same subnet as the M!DGE. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1 The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Start a Web Browser on your PC. Type the M!DGE/MG102 IP address in the address bar: http://192.168.1.1 Please set a password for the admin user account.
Installation 6. Installation 6.1. Mounting M!DGE Wireless Router is designed for a DIN rail mounting or on a panel using flat bracket. Please consider the safety instructions in Chapter 10, Safety, environment, licensing. 6.2. Antenna mounting M!DGE Wireless Routers will only operate reliably over the GSM network if there is a strong signal.

Web Configuration Static configuration of M!DGE's own IP address and Subnet mask is available for LAN mode. Note Setting of the IP address is conected with the DHCP Server (if enabled) - menu SERVICES- DHCP Server. WAN mode enables the following possibilities:...

Web Configuration Hardware flow control: While 3 wired conection is used with M!DGE hardware flow control is not available. 7.2.6. Digital I/O The Digital I/O page displays the current status of the I/O ports and can be used to turn output ports on or off.

Our implementation supports RFC 3344, 5177, 3024 and 3519 and interoperability with Cisco has been verified. However, M!DGE routers can run as node and home agent which makes them able to replace expensive kits in the backbone for smaller scenarios.

7.6. SERVICES 7.6.1. SDK Racom routers are shipping with a Software Development Kit (SDK) which offers a simple and fast way to implement customer-specific functions and applications. It consists of: An SDK host which defines the runtime environment (a so-called sandbox), that is, controlling access to system resources (such as memory, storage and CPU) and, by doing so, catering for the right scalability.

Password: The password used for authentication Please note that your RACOM router can operate as DynDNS service as well, provided that you hold a valid SERVER license and have your hosts pointed to the DNS service of the router. 7.6.5. E-mail client The E-Mail client can be used to send notifications to a particular E-Mail address upon certain events or by SDK scripts.

This page lets you turn the SMS event notification service on and enable remote control via SMS. Administration On RACOM routers it is possible to receive or send short messages (SMS) over each mounted modem (depending on the assembly options). Messages are received by querying the SIM card over a modem,...

SMS control: Receiving SMS can be enabled or disabled. Disabling receiving SMS means that controlling M!DGE via SMS will not be possible Routing & Filtering By using SMS routing you can specify outbound rules which will be applied whenever message are sent.

7.6.9. SNMP Agent M!DGE is equipped with a SNMP daemon, supporting basic MIB tables (such as ifTable), plus additional enterprise MIBs to manage multiple systems. M!DGE OID starts with 1.3.6.1.4.1.33555.10 prefix. The corresponding VENDOR MIB can be downloaded from the router.

Start-up trap is implemented using the standard cold Start & warm Start traps. System-shutdown trap is sent, when the system is rebooted via the web interface reboot function or when the watchdog reboots the system. M!DGE extensions contain support for: • Rebooting the device •...
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. M!DGE can synchronize its system time with a NTP server. If enabled, time synchronization is usually triggered after a WAN link has come up but before starting any VPN connections.

Web Configuration 7.7.4. Configuration Configuration via the Web Manager becomes tedious for large volumes of devices. M!DGE therefore offers automatic and manual file-based configuration to automate things. Once you have successfully set up the system you can back up the configuration and restore the system with it afterwards. You can either upload a single configuration file (.cfg) or a complete package (.zip) containing the configur-...
