ii. Only trained / competent persons should work on this equipment.

iii. Any power tools must be regularly inspected and tested.

iv. Any personnel working on site must wear the appropriate protective clothing, e.g. re-

flective vests, etc.

Safety of Road Users

It is important that all personnel are aware of the dangers to road users that could arise during

repair and maintenance of traffic control equipment.

Ensure that the junction area is coned and signed as necessary to warn motorists and pedes-

trians of any dangers and to help protect the personnel working on the site.

For UK this refers to Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

For DE this refers to GV A3, DIN EN 50110-1 (VDE 0105-1) and VDE 0832 and the work-safety leaflet

ASM 0099-01

Handling Precautions

Handling Precautions

Safety of Handling

•Take care not to ‘kink’ the cable when installing. The impact may manifest in poor re-

turn loss.

•Due to the cable thickness the RF cable the minimum bend radius of 25cm must be ob-

served

•It is recommended that RF connectors exposed to the environment are protected using

amalgamating Tape, and electrical tape

2. Routers - General Description

Siemens ITS (Poole) provide and support three types of routers, namely a 3G/4G Router, xDSL

Route and Instation Router for use in customer networks.

This chapter outlines these devices and provides an overview on their use.

2.1. MuLogic RSA ADSL

This type of router can be used to connect IP based equipment to a customer network using

an ADSL “Broadband“ Connection. The ADSL line will allow a connection to the Public Inter-

net, and the router can provide a IPSEC VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel to another Rout-

er to allow the WAN (Wide Area Network) connection back to the customer LAN (Local Area

Network). For details please refer to 667/CI/99107/000.

2.2. PROROUTE 4G Router

The current router is the PROROUTE H685 4G (667/1/99110/000), which can be used to con-

nect IP based equipment to a customer network using a Mobile Phone connection (3G or 4G

GSM). Wireless connections of this type are not normally as reliable as using wired communi-

cations solutions and are not always suitable in some locations or for certain applications. If

in doubt, please contact the Engineering department in Poole for clarification.

The PROROUTE H685 4G (667/1/99110/000) Router also allows IPSEC VPN tunnels to be con-

figured for secure connections across the public Internet, these settings would be provided

by the Customer or Poole Engineering department.

2.3. Connection Types

There are two types of equipment connections used in Siemens ITS. The first is the ‘transpar-

ent’ connection and the second is the ‘VPN’ connection.

2.3.1. Transparent Connection

In this type of connection the STRATOS Outstation, or ST950 controller, will be the VPN cli-

ent. Therefore any communications interface only needs to act as a transparent ‘pipe’ to and

from the STRATOS Outstation/ST950 Controller.

Safety of Licences

The STRATOS Outstation/ST950 Controller needs to be supplied with the appropriate certifi-

cates in order to enable connection through to the STRATOS Instation.

Routers - General Description

IP ROUTERS INSTALLATION GUIDE 3G OTU

667/CI/45025/000 Rev 4 Unrestricted

Safety of Security

Although the 3G/4G router modem does not handle the STRATOS Outstation to Instation secu-

rity explicitly, it is nevertheless incumbent on the installers to secure the router. Having a se-

cure router may discourage accidental or intentional re-configuration that could end up

providing third parties with access to customers’ internet bandwidth.

The process for securing the 3G/4G router is as follows;

1Generate a random password. It is recommended that KeePass (www.keepass.com) is

used for such a purpose.

2Configure the router such that the spare Ethernet port is not active.

3Confirm and configure the modem such that the WiFi device is in-operable.

4Update the modem with the password generated above.

5Export the router configuration

6Store the password for the router along with router configuration in the STRATOS Outsta-

tion site-log or the ST950 Site Log.

7Delete local copies of the configuration and password.

2.3.2. VPN Connection

This type of connection relies on the router to become the VPN client. Product applications

such as RMS over IP (Gemini Mk2), OMU, Saphire JTM will use this methodology.

Safety of Security

It should be noted that this method of connection is not considered as secure as the ‘Transpar-

ent’ connection method.
