NetBox Firmware Release 3.4 available
A new firmware 3.4.0 has been released today and is ready for download now. It includes support for new models like the NB2600R as well as for existing products except the NB1310/NB2541. This release contains many improvements, optimizations, bug fixes and the following new major features:

• New WAN link manager supporting link prioritization and fast switchover to minimize link downtime
• SNMPv3 support, including management extensions for triggering software or configuration updates remotely, which makes it feasible to integrate a large number of systems into common network monitoring solutions such as OpenNMS or Nagios
• Remote authentication over RADIUS can be used now to log into the Web Manager which facilitates a central user management
• PPPoE client for establishing a WAN link with PPPoE capable devices
• Captive Portal module for using the NetBox as a public WLAN Hot Spot
• IPSec AES256 encryption
• GPS information via SMS

NetModule presentation at the Wireless Congress 2010: Using wireless systems to enable 24x7 condition monitoring and maintenance.
The effective output and quality of an industrial system is mainly defined by its production speed, accuracy and uptime. If one system fails the whole production is on hold and the manufacturer is losing money. Most equipment providers define tight maintenance intervals to avoid down-times. Internet technologies would allow even 24x7 condition monitoring and remote maintenance to increase the uptime. Unfortunately the network infrastructure in factories is different from place to place, and the existing equipment is often connected by legacy serial interfaces while newer machines typically support Ethernet. Instead of solving case by case with an individual and expensive solution customers are looking for one communication device which allows separating the application from the communication. Using a universal and flexible communication device which connects the machine to the service headquarter would allow 24x7 access. Besides supporting Ethernet, WLAN, mobile networks, serial lines this device has to guarantee that the machine can be accessed remotely by the service people at any time using the best available connection.
