• Advanced network security: Includes a pre-configured firewall, access control, VLAN functionality and multiple VPN options.
• Industrial communication protocols: Supports protocols and services such as Modbus, OPC UA, DNP3 and DLMS.
• Remote management: Compatible with Teltonika RMS for remote monitoring, configuration and firmware management.
• Industrial operating range: Designed to operate in temperatures from -40°C to 75°C.

Five Ethernet Ports for Flexible Network Connections

The RUT301 features five RJ45 Ethernet ports, consisting of one WAN port and four LAN ports. Each port supports 10/100 Mbps connectivity, making the router suitable for applications that need to connect multiple wired devices to an industrial or enterprise network.

The WAN port provides the network connection, while the four LAN ports allow compatible equipment to communicate over the local network. This arrangement can help simplify network connectivity in control panels, industrial installations, retail systems and other environments where several Ethernet-enabled devices need to be connected.

Digital Inputs and Outputs for Industrial Applications

One of the useful features of the Teltonika RUT301 is its configurable digital I/O functionality. The router provides two digital input/output pins through its four-pin industrial power connector.

These pins can be configured as digital inputs or outputs, allowing the device to interact with compatible external equipment. Digital inputs can be used to detect supported signal states, while digital outputs can be used in suitable control and automation applications.

This functionality can be useful in installations where network connectivity and basic equipment status or control signals need to be handled through the same device. Always check the electrical requirements of the connected equipment before wiring the I/O terminals.

USB 2.0 Connectivity and External Device Support

The RUT301 includes a USB 2.0 Type-A port for connecting supported external devices. Depending on the application and connected peripheral, the USB interface can support external storage, USB-to-serial functionality, additional modems, printers and other compatible equipment.

The USB interface also supports applications such as Samba sharing. This provides additional flexibility for installations that require external device connectivity alongside wired Ethernet networking.

Network Security, Firewall and VPN Capabilities

Network security is an important consideration when connecting industrial equipment and business systems. The RUT301 includes a pre-configured firewall and provides options for configuring network access and traffic rules.

Its security capabilities include firewall configuration, VLAN separation, access control and protection against selected network attacks. The router also supports multiple VPN technologies, including OpenVPN, IPsec, GRE, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, WireGuard, ZeroTier and Tinc.

These features can help organisations establish controlled communication between networks and support secure remote access, depending on the network architecture and configuration.

Industrial Protocol Support and Device Communication

The Teltonika RUT301 supports several industrial communication protocols, making it relevant to applications that involve connected equipment and data exchange.

Supported technologies include Modbus TCP, OPC UA, DNP3 and DLMS. It also supports data transfer to servers through HTTP(S), MQTT and Azure MQTT. These capabilities can be used in suitable monitoring, automation and industrial IoT deployments where compatible systems need to exchange information over a network.

Protocol support does not automatically guarantee compatibility with every controller, meter or industrial device. Confirm the required protocol mode and connection method for the intended application before deployment.

Remote Monitoring and Management with Teltonika RMS

The RUT301 is compatible with Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS), which provides tools for remote device monitoring and administration. RMS can help network administrators manage supported devices without needing to visit each installation physically.

Depending on the RMS service and configuration, users can access device information, manage configurations, monitor availability and perform firmware-related management tasks. This can be particularly useful for businesses and system integrators managing network equipment across multiple locations.

Designed for Industrial and Commercial Environments

The RUT301 features an aluminium housing and is designed for industrial operating conditions. It supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C and has an IP30 ingress protection rating.

Its compact dimensions make it suitable for installations where available space is limited. The router supports DIN rail and flat-surface placement; check the mounting requirements and accessories for the installation method you plan to use.

Applications of the Teltonika RUT301 Router

The RUT301 can be considered for a range of wired networking and industrial connectivity applications, including:

• Industrial automation: Connecting Ethernet-enabled automation equipment and compatible control systems.
• Machine networking: Providing wired network connectivity for industrial machines and equipment.
• Enterprise networking: Connecting multiple wired devices in business and commercial environments.
• Retail infrastructure: Supporting network connectivity for compatible retail equipment and systems.
• Industrial IoT projects: Enabling communication between supported devices, network services and monitoring platforms.
• Remote network management: Supporting deployments where administrators need centralised management through Teltonika RMS.
