4 Operation Modes
The RUT2xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile,
standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main WAN
connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first router uses its
main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that fails too, router
tries the second backup option.

5 Powering Options
The RUT2xx router can be powered from power socket
5.1 Powering the device from higher voltage
If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 –
30 VDC), please make sure that you choose a power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage
peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during connection.
While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC, peaks from high voltage power supplies can
harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety equipment
to suppress voltage peaks from the power supply.
