EWON EC61330 Cosy 131 Industrial VPN Router User Manual

1. المقدمة

The EWON Cosy (COmmunication made eaSY) 131 is an industrial VPN router specifically designed for simple and secure remote maintenance of machines and installations at customer sites or external locations via the internet. It enables OEMs, machine builders, and system integrators to resolve machine issues through remote maintenance, eliminating the need for on-site presence. This significantly reduces support costs and travel time.

The device is compatible with existing firewalls, utilizing connections via the factory LAN (HTTPS port 443 or UDP 1194). No modifications to IT infrastructure or firewalls are required to establish communication, a feature highly valued by IT teams. Integrated WLAN and mobile wireless connectivity allow internet access without connecting to the company's LAN, offering free access, high bandwidth, simple deployment (no cabling), and simplified secure network management.

All traffic is secured via a fully encrypted SSL-based VPN tunnel (2048-bit key), ensuring that only authenticated users can connect to the EWON device. The 'Plug'n Route' function allows connection to any Ethernet device without configuring the gateway or stopping the machine during installation. It features a 4-port configurable Ethernet WAN/LAN switch, enabling direct remote access to devices via VPN through the EWON, often eliminating the need for an additional switch in the control device.
