Chapter 2 OA5725A Router
2.1 Characteristics
The OA5725A router family is a range of IP routers especially designed to operate in hostile and extreme environ-
ments. Thanks to their ruggedized mechanics and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, they are particularly
suited for: automotive applications, industrial environments, industrial telecontrol, distribution installations for electri-
city, gas, water, etc.
The main characteristic of this router family lies in the possibility of accessing data networks through cellular or mo-
bile telephony technologies. Thanks to its modular design, the device can quickly adapt to the latest technologies in
the field. Therefore, the OA5725A family is compatible with technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA,
HSUPA, HSPA, HSPA+, LTE, CDMA 2000 1xRTT, CDMA Ev-Do, etc.
This router family can incorporate a second module, thus permitting simultaneous connections to different carrier net-
works and backing up the main module using a different technology.
In addition, the latest technology in internal GPS (SiRF® Start IV) can be incorporated for positioning tasks in on-
board environments.

The OA5725A router family includes an integrated four-port Ethernet LAN Switch to access LAN networks and, op-
tionally, can also have a Wireless LAN MINI-PCI module.
This manual will show you how to install and connect these devices.
Note
Please note that when this device operates for prolonged periods of time under extreme conditions
(including temperature and humidity) its service life shortens significantly.
2.1.1 Power supply
For further information on the different power supplies in the OA5725A router family, please see chapter
ents and Power Supply
2.1.2 Hardware Monitoring
The only way to monitor the OA5725A router family hardware is through the LEDs on the rear panel. The LEDs
provide visual information on what is happening in the device. These indicate the state of the hardware components,
if there is connectivity, data flow, etc.
For further information on the LEDs panel, please see section
