Manual of product MGate MB3170I-T
Editorial note
The Moxa MGate MB3170I-T is a cellular network gateway that stands out for its exceptional reliability, with an impressive mean time between failures of 210794 hours. This durability ensures consistent performance, thereby reducing service interruptions. Additionally, its connectivity features, including Ethernet LAN ports and a RS-232/422/485 serial interface, facilitate integration into various systems, making this device versatile for different communication needs. However, the MGate MB3170I-T has some limitations. It does not support certain network data, which may restrict its functionalities in environments requiring advanced connections. Furthermore, with only two Ethernet LAN ports, it may not be sufficient for applications demanding multiple simultaneous connections, complicating network expansion. The maximum transmission speed of 0.050 Kbit/s for certain signals could also pose issues for demanding applications. Regarding its design, while functional, it would be improved by a greater capacity of Ethernet ports. Resistance to extreme conditions, combined with safety certifications such as UL and TÜV, demonstrates remarkable robustness, which is a major asset for use in harsh environments. In terms of compatibility, the MGate MB3170I-T primarily works with older operating systems like Windows XP and Vista. This could pose challenges for users looking to integrate it into modern environments using recent OS. Overall, the Moxa MGate MB3170I-T offers good value for money, especially considering its reliability and enhanced security, but it is essential to take its limitations into account to determine if it meets your specific needs.Score details
