Spectre Router/Network Gateway Security
Firewall
The network gateway’s firewall can be configured to allow only specified hosts to access the router and internal LAN network. It can also be configured to allow only the traffic on a certain IP port to pass through to the internal network. Up to 8 filters can be defined.
NAT Configuration
NAT (Network address Translation / Port address Translation - PAT) is a method of sharing a single external IP address among many internal hosts. It also helps prevent unauthorized access to the internal network. Up to 16 NAT rules may be defined
VPN Tunneling
IPSec, OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, EasyVPN, GREAuthentication by certificates, shared keys, name/passwordOpenVPN Tunneling
OpenVPN is a protocol which is used to create a secure connec-tion between two LANs. Up to 2 OpenVPN tunnels may be cre-ated.Ipsec Tunneling
IPsec is a protocol which is used to create a secure connection between two LANs. Up to 4 IPsec tunnels may be created.GRE Tunneling
GRE is a protocol which is used to create an unencrypted con-nection between two LANs. Up to 4 GRE tunnels may be created.L2PT Tunneling
L2TP is a protocol which is used to create an unencrypted con-nection between two LANs. One L2TP tunnel may be created.PPTP Tunneling
PPTP is a protocol which is used to create a secure connection between two LANs. One PPTP tunnel may be created.COST EFFICIENT
Wzzard Edge Nodes connect to existing sensors. and give those sensors wireless mesh networking capability. They require no external power source. Battery life can be measured in years.
Wzzard Edge Nodes can be mounted magnetically or with the use of their mounting ears. They are easy to deploy, easy to configure and easy to use.
RELIABLE
The Wzzard platform uses mesh networking and time-synchronized channel hopping to provide up to 99.999% connectivity, even in the most demanding RF environments.
SCALABLE
New Wzzard nodes and their attached sensors may be added to the network at any time. The SmartMesh IP network will dynamically self-configure as new nodes are added or removed. This is a function of the mesh network itself, and does not need to be controlled by the network gateway.
Each Wzzard node has routing capability, so nodes need not be within wireless range of the gateway. They need only be within wireless range of fellow Wzzard nodes.
SECURE
The Wzzard Intelligent Edge Nodes and the Specter Network Gateway communicate via SmartMesh IP. SmartMesh IP has built-in encryption, and it lets users determine how often the network should change keys. It includes end-to-end encryption, message integrity checking, and device authentication.
The Spectre Network Gateway places the SmartMesh IP network behind a firewall. If connecting via the cellular data networks, the Spectre Network Gateway lets users use VPN tunneling, which makes the cellular systems as secure as proprietary infrastructure.

Installing the Wzzard Edge Node to report system flow levels makes it esy for a wastewater plant to meet Environmental Protection, Water Pollution 305 Monitoring and Reporting and 304 Effluent Standards.
Unlike a traditional SCADA application where sensors and edge devices are simply passive conduits for raw data, edge decision making delivers a more effective network. Now, using iterative control limits and gateway data aggregation to support applications closer to the network

edge, M2M evolves from machine communication to machine decision making. The Wzzard™
Intelligent Sensing Platform brings this intelligence to the network starting at the sensor, creating a more responsive, reliable and efficient network.
Wzzard uses the lightweight, publish/subscribe messaging transport MQTT protocol for sensor communications. MQTT is an extremely simple messaging protocol created for M2M and IoT applications over wireless networks. Because of its efficient distribution of information to single or multiple receivers, low power usage and minimized data packets, it is ideal for mobile or remote locations.
SmartMesh IP is based upon the wireless IEEE 802.15.4e standard. SmartMesh IP creates full-mesh networks, sometimes referred to as ”mesh-to-the-edge” networks. SmartMesh IP networks use a ”triple-play” of wireless mesh technologies - time diversity, frequency diversity, and physical diversity - to assure reliability, resiliency, scalability, power source flexibility, and ease-of-use. At the core, the technology is an intelligent mesh network with advanced algorithms and power saving technologies that enable powerful features not available from other WSN providers including:
• Auto-forming mesh technology for a self-healing and self-sustaining network
• Scalability to large, dense, deep networks • Ultra low power consumption
• Deterministic power management and optimization • Dynamic bandwidth support, load balancing
and optimization
• Network management and configuration • Zero collision low power packet exchange
Smart processing starts at
the edge of the network.
Using the IoT ready protocol, MQTT,
semantic sensor data is delivered to
the application layer over a secure,
scalable, resilient wireless SmartMesh
IP mesh network.
SmartMesh IP is defining the way to
connect smart devices.

Smart Sensing Technology for Machine
Condition Monitoring
Monitoring and measuring very simple parameters in and around a valuable piece of equipment can prolong its useful life while simultaneously slashing maintenance costs and downtime.
”We deploy systems around the world in some
pretty inhospitable environments. Having
fool-proof installation makes it easy for local

Intelligent Edge Nodes
Easy, Efficient and Effective | Easy to Deploy | Easy to Manage
Wzzard Intelligent Edge Nodes connect your sensors to wireless SmartMesh IP networks. They accommodate external sensors with a variety of interface options that include general purpose analog inputs, digital input/output and thermocouple.
The Wzzard Intelligent Edge Node collects data from the sensor, then organizes and transforms that data into useful and relevant information easing the processing burden on upstream resources. Configurable by smart phone or tablet, nodes can minimize data traffic by only communicating exceptions to specified threshold or pre-determined alert levels. If the gateway is using the cellular network, this reduces the cost of the data plan. Configuration options can also include geo-location, device name and uptime to format data for easier analytics. With the use of control time synchronization, the Intelligent Edge Node can be programmed to maximize battery life, exceeding 5 years for many applications.

• Battery powered with power wiring options • M12 conduit
• Magnetized or screw mount options • UV impact resistant enclosure
Smart Sensing Technology for
Energy Efficiency
Electricity is one of the easiest resources to waste. But if you measure power consumption at a discrete level you can determine exactly what each device and process consumes. You won’t be estimating your true energy costs anymore. You’d know the exact numbers.
