Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information on the product. Make sure that
you understand it fully. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating
specifications for this product.
WARNING - SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
The product must be installed by qualified service personnel
and built in to an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is
restricted to service personnel only.
During installation, ensure a protective earthing conductor is
first connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for
metallic housings). Westermo recommends a cross-sectional area
of at least 4 mm2.
If the product does not have a protective earthing terminal, then
the DIN-rail must be connected to protective earth. Upon removal
of the product, ensure that the protective earthing conductor, or
the connection to earth via the DIN-rail, is disconnected last.
WARNING - PROTECTIVE FUSE
It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply.
Ensure compliance to national installation regulations. Replacing
the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified
personell.
WARNING - HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energized product. Hazardous voltage may occur
when connected to a power supply.
WARNING - POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
There are safety regulations on which power sources that shall
be used in conjunction with the product. Refer to Interface
Specifications.
66623-2232
WARNING - REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, use only telecommunication line cords
with a cable diameter of AWG 26 or larger. Regarding power
cable dimensions, see Interface Specifications.
CAUTION - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Prevent electrostatic discharge damages to internal electronic
parts by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use a
wrist strap).
CAUTION - CABLE TEMPERATURE RATING FOR
FIELD TERMINAL WIRES
There may be a requirement on the minimum temperature rating
of the cable to be connected to the field wiring terminals, see
Interface Specifications.

Description
Remote access removes boundaries, eliminates the need for time consuming site visits
and provides a network infrastructure suitable for today's “always-on” society. The BRD-
355 is an industrially designed xDSL (ADSL/VDSL2) broadband router built to cope with
harsh environments and the characteristics of industrial applications. The unit supports a
wide range of xDSL-standards and has support for long lines.
Most devices today comes equipped with an Ethernet port for communications,
therefore the BRD-355 has a built-in two port Ethernet switch. For legacy connectivity
the unit also features one RS-232-port to provide multiple connection possibilities for
both new and legacy replacement installations. Designed to be installed on a DIN-rail
all connectors and LEDs have been positioned in the front of the unit, facing the user
for easy access and fast status feedback. With wide power input range, the unit can be
powered from 10 to 60 VDC and has low power consumption.
The cybersecurity features of the BRD-355 prevent unauthorized access and secure
the communication for Internet-enabled applications. The easy to use firewall filters
incoming traffic, allowing only approved packets to pass through. To inter-connect units
with each other securely over the Internet multiple VPN technologies are supported,
including IPsec and OpenVPN.
Upgrading legacy solutions to become IP-enabled can prove both costly and tedious
therefore the BRD-355 includes a wide feature set for various legacy applications
including both modem replacement methods as well as serial to Ethernet conversion.
If there are applications that require extra attention Westermo's extensive experience
from over 35 years within industrial data communications and over 5 years of industrial
xDSL expertise will be available to assist you.
