F-R200 Four-Faith Industrial 4G Router

Core Purpose

The F-R200 is a 4G industrial router designed to provide stable remote connectivity for industrial systems. It connects field equipment to central platforms through cellular, wired WAN, or Wi-Fi networks. It is built for SCADA systems, distribution management, metering, and other infrastructure applications where devices must stay online continuously. Features such as watchdog protection and link backup help maintain uninterrupted communication. EasyNet supplies LTE Cat.4 or Cat.6, single or dual module, and a version with no LTE module and no GNSS.

Connectivity and Communication

Cellular options are LTE Cat.4, up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink, or LTE Cat.6, up to 300 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink. Dual-module versions carry two radios. A version without an LTE module uses the Gigabit WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi only. Multiple WAN access methods are supported, including static IP, DHCP, and PPPoE. An optional dual-link backup function allows automatic switching between cellular and wired WAN connections. VPN client and server modes (PPTP/L2TP/IPsec) are available in the VPN version, enabling secure encrypted communication between remote sites and central servers. Remote management is supported via HTTPS, SSH, SNMP, and SYSLOG. Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ac allows local wireless access for devices or maintenance personnel. The router can operate in AP, Client, or Bridge mode depending on network requirements.

Monitoring and Control

The device includes traffic statistics and real-time data rate monitoring. This allows operators to track bandwidth usage and connection status remotely. It supports VLAN configuration, firewall, NAT, DMZ, QoS, and ACL functions to control and manage data flow. These capabilities help isolate network segments and protect connected systems. Configuration can be performed locally or remotely through Web interface or CLI, allowing flexible deployment and maintenance.

Expansion and I/O Support

The router provides 1 × RS232 (RS422/RS485 optional) serial interface with baud rates from 2400 to 115200 bit/s. This enables integration with PLCs, metres, and industrial controllers. It includes 2 digital inputs, 1 digital output, and 1 relay interface. The relay supports 1 A 250 V AC / 30 V DC load, allowing basic remote control of external equipment. Four 10/100/1000M LAN ports and one 10/100/1000M WAN port provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Built-in 1.5 kV electromagnetic isolation enhances interface protection. On the cellular versions, optional GPS supports 50 channels with 2.5 m positioning accuracy and a 5 Hz update rate. The no-LTE version is supplied without GNSS.

Power and Environmental Suitability

The router operates on DC 5–36 V, with standard input of 12 V / 1.5 A. Power consumption is below 700 mA at 12 V. It uses an IP30 metal enclosure designed for DIN-rail mounting. The operating temperature range is –35 °C to +75 °C, making it suitable for industrial cabinets and harsh environments. Built-in 15 kV ESD protection on the SIM interface and 1.5 kV isolation on Ethernet enhance reliability in electrically noisy environments.
