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 – HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energized product. Hazardous voltage may occur when connected to a power supply.
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 personal.
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.
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 BRD355 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.

LED Indicators
LED | Status | Description |   |

RED FLASH | Indicates a fault, except during boot-up | ||
GREEN | All OK | ||

xDSL Link status | OFF | No ADSL connection | |
GREEN FLASH | Negotiating with the provider DSLAM | ||
GREEN | All OK, ADSL link established |
STS LED – Status indicator
The status indicator reports the health of the unit. In normal operation the indicator will be green, however, if a fault is detected, either at boot-up or during normal operation, the indicator will light red. When the unit is first switched on or is reset, the indicator will first light red then flash red. This is normal behavior during boot-up and does not indicate a fault.
Configuring a VPN connection in the BRD-355 and activating the service will cause the STS LED to be lit GREEN but FLASH RED every third (3) second to indicate that no peer is connected on the VPN. The feature of the VPN status in the STS LED makes it easy for staff to see whether or not the VPN connection is working without having to login to the device.
DSL LED – xDSL link status
The DSL LED reports the status of the connection to the network. When powered up the indicator will be off, the indicator will then flash green whilst the unit tries to negotiate the link with the provider DSLAM, once successfully connected to the provider the indicator will light green to indicate that everything is ready and functioning on the xDSL link level.
Factory Default Reset Switch
The reset switch is used to restore the configuration of the BRD-355 to the factory default settings (for details about the default settings see the Getting started section). The switch is accessed through a small hole, adjacent to the xDSL and STS LEDs, labeled C on the front of the unit.
To reset the configuration:
- Power down the unit.
- Using a suitable tool depress the reset switch.
- Power up the unit ensuring the switch remains depressed for approximately 5 seconds after power is applied. The STS LED will flash twice to indicate a reset.
- Once the unit has booted-up it will use the default settings.
Note: Using the factory default reset switch will erase all existing configuration settings and restore the factory default settings.

Getting started
Power Supply
The BRD-355 requires a DC power source in the voltage range of 10 to 60 VDC. The unit is designed to self protect from permanent damage if the voltage exceeds 60 VDC or if reverse polarity is applied. The router may need to be returned for service if this occurs. The router can also be damaged if there is any potential difference between the chassis-ground, RS-232 signal ground or power (–) input. Before connecting any wiring, ensure all components are earthed to a common ground point. An external isolator will be required if a positive earth power supply is used.
Ethernet
The Ethernet ports are on the front of the unit and are marked LAN 1 and LAN 2, each port has a LED indicating the connection speed and a LED indicating activity as shown in figure below. Both ports are capable of auto-negotiation, meaning cross-over cables are not required. The Ethernet ports are switched, allowing more than one Ethernet device to be connected to the unit at one time.
Configuration
Accessing and Using the Web Interface
All configuration of the BRD can be done via the web interface. In order to view the web pages a computer with a fixed IP address, on the same sub-net as the BRD, will need to be connected to one of the LAN ports.
The default IP settings of the BRD are:
- IP Address: 192.168.2.200
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
The recommended IP settings for the PC used to configure the BRD Router:
- IP Address: 192.168.2.100
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.2.200
- Primary DNS: 192.168.2.200
Note: Although it is possible to connect the BRD directly to a Local Area Network (LAN) it is recommend that the network configuration as described in this section is performed prior to doing so. The DHCP server of the unit is by default disabled.
Accessing the BRD
- Open a web browser on the PC and browse to http://192.168.2.200 (the default MRD, IP address) .
- A login box will popup. If the box fails to display, re-check the cable connections to the unit and the IP address settings of the PC.
Enter the following login details:
- User Name: admin
- Password: westermo
- The Status summary page will be displayed, it will be similar to Figure3.
Note: If the unit is not yet configured it is likely that the Network Status and Connection Status will indicate a fault condition. This is normal.
Mounting
This unit should be mounted on 35 mm DIN-rail, which is horizontally mounted inside an apparatus cabinet or similar. Snap on mounting, see figure.
Mounting the BRD-355 with integrated DIN-clip:
