DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual External Connections Only devices that meet SELV circuits (Security Extra Low Voltage) requirements in accordance with the EN60950 standard should be connected to the interfaces of the DuraMAR-2150. All connection cable plugs must be screwed or locked to the housing.
DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual Chapter 3 System Operation This chapter illustrates the operation of the Eurotech Communication Controller (ECC) and its interaction with the CISCO 3200 ISR. If not otherwise stated, hereafter the word “system” will implicitly refer to ECC subsystem only.
DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual DuraMAR-2150 configuration The configuration of DuraMAR-2150 system involves the configuration of the CISCO 3200 ISR and ECC subsystems. • The CISCO 3200 ISR subsystem can be configured using the console interface available on the panel side under the removable protection cover.
DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual Configuration Mode The Configuration Mode is used to configure the system. This mode provides two sub-modes of operation: Global or Specific, depending on what part of the system the user is configuring. Specific mode allows access to the configuration area of one of the system components, hardware or software, while Global mode allows access to global configuration parameters affecting the whole system.
DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual As another example, the following commands: route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 via 10.11.3.1 HSDPA-rt(config)# route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 HSDPA-rt(config)# will first set up a static route and then remove it.

DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual Using the integrated CISCO router for hosting controller system image files. Downloading a new image might be quite difficult if the ECC is configured to operate in Bridge Mode. In this configuration the HSDPA interface can’t be used by the ECC itself so users, setting the appropriate static routes, must download the new image from a remote host through the slow GPRS interface or from a local host connected to the CISCO Ethernet interface.
DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual DuraMAR-2150 service interface A GPRS modem is included as part of the DuraMAR-2150 system in order to provide a diagnostics and backup/emergency connection to the system in the event that the HSDPA link fails.
