Chapter 2 RS123 Devices
2.1 Description
The RS123 Router is a powerful Gigabit Ethernet router that is mainly used in SMEs to provide connectivity to
branch locations and home offices.
The RS123 delivers advanced security, flexibility, and exceptional performance across a wide range of applications.
The RS123 Router is equipped with five Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be independently configured to be used in a
LAN, WAN, or DMZ. The RS123 also comes with an SFP slot for optical fibre expansion modules, e.g., for connect-
ing to an optical fibre broadband connection, enabled by license.
The RS123w and RS123w-4G have a dual-band wireless module, which operates at 2.4 and 5 GHz. This module
supports 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless standards. The MIMO 2x2 technology allows for maximum raw data rates of up to
300 Mbps. Furthermore, RS123w-4G incorporates an integrated LTE (4G) module that supports LTE at speeds of up
to 100 Mbps for downloads and up to 50 Mbps for uploads, in addition to GPRS (EDGE), UMTS (3G+) and HSPA+.
It also includes a 19-inch rack-mount conversion bracket enabling installation in 19-inch server racks. Rack mounting
is further simplified by the device's height, equivalent to one rack unit, and the integrated power supply.
The following figure shows a typical scenario for RS123 operation:
