Safety notes
CAUTION:
Observe the following safety notes when
using the device.
•
•
•
•
•
Installation, operation, and maintenance may only be
carried out by qualified electricians. Follow the
installation instructions as described. When installing
and operating the device, the applicable regulations
and safety directives (including national safety
directives), as well as generally approved technical
regulations, must be observed. The safety data is
provided in this package slip and on the certificates
(conformity assessment, additional approvals where
applicable).
Installation should be carried out according to the
instructions provided in the operating instructions.
Access to circuits within the device is not permitted.
The device does not require maintenance. Repairs may
only be carried out by the manufacturer.
The device is only intended for operation in the control
cabinet and with SELV according to IEC 60950-1/

107858_en_02
NOTE: risk of material damage due to
incorrect wiring
Only connect the RJ45 Ethernet ports of the
device to matching network installations.
Some telecommunications connections also
use RJ45 sockets. You may not connect
these to the RJ45 ports of the device.
For connecting a modem or serial terminal
you will need a null modem cable not
exceeding 10 m in length.
NOTE: Risk of damage to equipment due
to noise emissions
This is a Class A item of equipment. This
equipment can cause radio interference in
residential areas, and the operator may be
required to take appropriate measures.

external voltage source.
Connect the supply voltage to the plug-in screw terminal
(X4) to 24 V and 0 V. Ensure the correct polarity.
The device is ready for operation as soon as the power
LED lights up.

You can turn off this message in the user interface.
In the case of redundant supply, the load is not distributed.
The power supply unit with the higher voltage will supply the
device on its own.
• Connect the required service contacts (X1 - X3):
– External control switch CMD (Service plug X1: US, I1)
– Signal output (digital) ACK, (Service plug X1: GND, O1)
• You can connect 11 - 36 V DC to the potential-free

mobile phone and Ethernet (WAN)
– DMZ port
– Up to 10 parallel VPN tunnels (up to 250 possible with
additional license as an option)
– CIFS Integrity Monitoring (optional)
Serial device server
The integrated COM server function is used to integrate
RS-232 interfaces into Ethernet networks. This provides an
easy way of implementing functions such as cable
replacement or network integration.
– Cable replacement: two devices in combination tunnel
serial connections via Ethernet.
– Network integration: you can integrate automation
devices such as controllers or frequency inverters into a
network using corresponding programming and
diagnostics software.
Device Manager
The Device Manager simplifies the management of mGuard
security appliances. The tool features a template
mechanism that enables the user to configure and manage
all mGuard devices centrally – from a few hundred devices
to several thousand.
The TC MGUARD RS2000 4G VPN is designed for
applications with fewer complex requirements. The device
acts as an industrial remote service router with a simplified
configuration. The integrated 4-port switch saves space on
the DIN rail.
– Basic security router with reduced complexity
– 4-port switch
– RS-232 interface with COM server function for
integrating serial devices
– Simplified 2-click stateful inspection firewall
– Two VPN connections (cannot be extended)
Both versions have all the necessary standard functions for
operating a flexible and robust Ethernet network.

Application example
Secure remote maintenance concepts from
Phoenix Contact offer the following advantages:
– Availability regardless of location
– Reduced travel costs and downtimes
– Greater customer loyalty, thanks to a high level of
service quality
– Less expense linked to warranties
– Fewer devices, as remote maintenance, routing, and
firewall are combined in a single device
– Operator network protected against unauthorized
access
– No security problems associated with the theft of
equipment
– Same level of administration required, even if the
number of machines increases
– The user alone enables remote maintenance
– Easy machine integration in customer networks
– Fast resolution of IP address conflicts
– Machines are protected from the operator network and
vice versa
– No adaptation of machines and systems, no software
required
