  • Page 3: Introduction

    For commissioning please use the latest version (as of v3) of the dial-up software “shDIALUP”. Write down the serial number and MAC address of your REX 100 router before installing the router in your system. You will need the serial number in order to configure the device! The REX 100 is an industrial router designed to be installed on DIN rails and is suitable for worldwide remote access to IP-enabled devices (PLCs, HMIs, IP cameras, etc.)
  • Page 4 No entry needs to be made in the „Change VPN password fi eld“. The password is generated automatically. In order that the confi guration is sent to the correct end device, the serial number of the REX 100 must be entered for purposes of recognition.
  • Page 5 If you would like to connect additional TCP/IP components for purposes of remote maintenance at the LAN inter- face of the REX 100, this IP address is also the standard gateway for these devices (see page 14, point 6). Open the „Internet“ tab without clicking on Under „Connect to server on“, select the actions with which this device should connect to your myREX24 account.

    4. Transfer the configuration In order to be able to transfer the configuration through the LAN network, it must be possible to reach the REX 100 unit (the one being configured) on the same network on which the computer with the shDIALUP program is found.
  • Page 7 In order to be able to transfer the configuration, the Configuration Transfer Manager needs an Internet connection established using a WAN network or SIM card. If you are using your REX 100 router for the first time, you can establish this connection directly on the router by using the First Start webpage.
  • Page 8 4.2.2 Establish Internet connection via “First Start” with REX 100 3G If you are using a REX 100 3G model, you will now need to provide the following for the modem: The login data for the carrier (APN) and the SIM card ID number (SIM PIN).
  • Page 9 4.2.3 Establish Internet connection via “First Start” with REX 100 WAN In the case of wired models, access to the Internet can only be established through the “external router” on the equipment side. To this purpose, the WAN interface must be connected with the customer server/DSL modem.
  • Page 10 The cloudserver preset here doesn’t need to be changed. The code for the session key is optional and does not have to be entered when setting up the router. As soon as all settings have been transferred and saved in the REX 100 router, the router will establish an Internet connection.
  • Page 11 - Don’t change the name of the confi guration fi le and save this in the root directory of a standard FAT-formatted USB stick - The REX 100 must be in standby mode (that is, at least the PWR and RDY LED should be lit) - Insert the USB stick into the USB interface of the REX 100 - Once the USR LED starts fl ashing, you will have ten seconds to press the FCN button.

    In the “Connect Status” fi eld, you are shown the REX “LAN IP” address on the system side (important, for example, for the “PG/PC interface”, see page chapter 6 page 14). Once a connection to the REX 100 unit has been established, all the IP packets that are valid for the LAN network in the fi eld will be sent.
  • Page 13 - In order to be able to establish a connection to myREX24, at least one of the TCP ports (80, 1194, or 443) required for the VPN tunnel must be open. - If you would like to use the function for automatic sending of e-mails of the REX, the SMTP port 25 may not be blocked.
