The Westermo configuration management tool, WeConfig, can be used for discovery and basic
configuration and maintenance. The configuration can be done via SNMP or via WebGUI. The status
information is available in local LED status indicators, and through SNMP/WebGUI.
The Mobile Communication Gateway router is designed to withstand the tough onboard
environmental conditions and can be remotely managed using web browser or SNMP management
tools.
Integrating hardware, software and network design support tools, this router platform offers
advanced capabilities, the lowest total cost of ownership and will create the most reliable and
resilient networks.
The router is engineered to maintain uninterrupted data communication, even in exceptionally harsh
environments. Tested and certified to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks, these
routers only use industrial grade components which contributes towards a market leading mean time
between failure (MTBF), maximized service life, and reduced operational and life cycle costs.

For correct function, the earth connection at the grounding point needs to be properly connected to
a solid ground. An M5 grounding screw at the housing is used for grounding. A short wire with a cross
section of at least 4 mm
2
shall be used. The grounding wire is set below the rip-lock washer. The nut
is fixed for good reliable grounding contact. The tightening torque of the nut shall be 2.0 Nm.
