You've built your Configuration Profile - but how do you actually get it onto your routers? In Video Tutorial #9, we walk through three ways to assign a profile: to a single device, to multiple devices at once, or straight from a device's own page.
Device happens to be offline? No problem - the profile just waits and assigns itself automatically the moment it connects.

In factories and industrial facilities, even a short network outage can lead to production delays, safety risks, or significant financial losses.
With the ICR-1745 5G NR Gateway and WebAccess/DMP, mission-critical machines stay online - no matter what. The router's robust multi-WAN mechanism supports automatic failover between primary networks and a backup 5G connection. VPN ensures secure communication, while centralized management gives IT teams full visibility and control.
🔁 Seamless failover
🔒 Secure remote access via VPN
📡 Centralized monitoring & provisioning via WebAccess/DMP

Every device connected to the internet has an IP address. The problem is, for most cellular connections, that address isn’t fixed – it changes whenever the connection drops and reconnects, or when the mobile provider decides to reassign it. For anyone who needs to reliably reach a router from the outside – to check on a remote site, pull data, or manage the device – that’s a real obstacle.
Dynamic DNS solves this by keeping a domain name continuously pointed at the router’s current ...

Most people think of a network as something that lives in one place – a building, a factory floor, an office. But what if your devices are spread across multiple locations, and you still need them to behave as if they’re on the same local network? That’s the problem VXLAN solves. And as of ICR-OS 6.6.1, it’s now natively supported on Advantech cellular routers.
What is VXLAN, and why does it matter?
VXLAN stands for Virtual Extensible LAN. In plain terms, it’s ...

Accurate time is easy to overlook – until something breaks. For industrial cellular routers deployed in remote sites or critical infrastructure, a synchronized clock is a hard dependency: without it, TLS handshakes fail, VPN tunnels reject authentication due to timestamp skew, syslog data becomes useless for forensic analysis, and time desynchronization across devices can corrupt SCADA/IIoT data integrity.
Time synchronization sources
So where does a router actually get its time from? The answer depends on the hardware - most basic models may support NTP ...

Since then, the world has changed dramatically - technology, markets, and the way we work. But some things don't change: the drive to keep improving, the relationships we've built, and the belief that the best chapter is still ahead.
We celebrate 43 years of Advantech. A good moment to look back - and an even better one to look forward.
To our colleagues, clients, and partners - thank you for being part of this journey. We're just getting started. 🚀
