Quick Start Guide REX 100 3G|LTE 3

The REX 100 is an industrial router suitable for worldwide remote access to IP-en-ableddevices(PLCs,HMIs,IPcameras,etc.)ItismountedontheDINrail.

ThisQuickStartGuideexplainsthebasicsettingsinthemyREX24portalandshowshowtotransfertheconfigurationmadetheretotheREX100unit.

Important advance information: Please use the most current version (as of v3.7.0) of the dial-up software "shDIALUP" for commissioning. You can acquire it as a download at www.helmholz.de.

The current firmware must be installed on all REX 100 routers for successful connection with the myREX24 V2 portal. 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 num-ber in order to configure the REX 100!

Background:

- shDIALUP and the REX 100 establish an outbound TCP connection with the address v2.myrex24.net(5.39.123.21).

- InordertobeabletoestablishasecureconnectiontothemyREX24serverwithshDIALUPorREX100,atleastoneofthefollowingTCPports(80,443,or1194)re-quiredfortheVPNtunnelmustbeopen.Port80islockedintheexampleshowntotheright.However,theconnectionwiththemyREX24-V2servercanbeestablishedviaports443or1194.

PleaseclarifywhichsettingisrequiredinadvancewiththeresponsibleITdepartmenton site. You can adjust the port correspondingly in the VPN settings of the REX 100.

Notes:

- Please note that the "P1“ LAN interface is started delayed for technical reasons in the event of a device reset/switching on.

- When connecting additional Ethernet participants (PLC/panel) on the REX 100, it must be ensured that the IP addresses of the devices lie within the address range of the LAN interface of the REX 100.

- PresstheFCNbuttonforapprox.10–15secondsuntiltheUSRLEDflashesorange.

- AfteryoureleasetheFCNkey,theREX100rebootsandonceagainhasthefactorysettings.

Important: The IP address of the REX 100 LAN interface is reset to 192.168.0.100/24.


Note: Ensure that either only the firmware file or only the configuration file is found in the root directory of the USB stick. If you wish to update both the firmware and the configuration, carry out the following steps consecutively for each file.

ToprovidetheREX100withaconfigurationorperformafirmwareupdatefromaUSBstick,pleasecarryoutthefollowingsteps:
