Manual of product MGate MB3270
Editorial note
The Moxa MGate MB3270 positions itself as a reliable cellular network gateway, providing efficient connectivity through its Ethernet LAN ports and RS-232/422/485 serial interfaces. With an impressive mean time between failures of 125234 hours, this device demonstrates great durability, ensuring continuous operation without interruptions. Its robust design and protection against electrostatic discharge up to 15 kV enhance the device's safety, even in harsh environments. Additionally, its compatibility with multiple operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, and 7, facilitates its integration into various work contexts. However, the MGate MB3270 has some limitations. It does not support mobile network data, which may restrict its use in certain applications requiring cellular connectivity. Although the plastic casing is durable, it may not offer the same level of protection as other more robust materials, which could pose issues in demanding industrial environments. Furthermore, the transmission speed of 0.050 Kbit/s for certain interfaces may be considered slow compared to current standards, and its limited compatibility with newer operating systems could complicate integration for modern users. Finally, with only two Ethernet LAN ports, it may not meet the needs of more complex network configurations. Overall, the Moxa MGate MB3270 offers good value for money, particularly in terms of durability and features. However, its limitations in connectivity and compatibility should be taken into account for optimal use.Score details
