Maximum Flexibility & Security for Your Network Integration

With the new USB2NANO WLAN adapter, GENEREX offers an innovative solution for all CS141, BACS, and SITEMANAGER devices. This upgrade not only enhances flexibility in network connectivity but also enables effective redundancy, simplified maintenance, and increased security.

Universal Compatibility

GENEREX offers these WLAN adapters for the EU, while the US version must be ordered from GENEREX USA.
Both models have been thoroughly tested for cybersecurity compliance.

💡 We prioritize maximum flexibility – any USB WLAN adapter officially approved in the respective country and featuring a Realtek RTL8188EU chipset can be used for WiFi connections in compliance with the 802.11 standard.

🔗 Compatibility:
All CS141 devices from hardware revision HW161 onward and running at least Firmware 2.24 can be equipped with the USB2NANO, as long as a USB port is available.

Simple & Intuitive:
Set Up WLAN in Just a Few Steps

How it works:
✅ Plug the USB2NANO into the USB port – it will be automatically detected.
✅ Define SSID & password in the network settings menu.
✅ The device is now wirelessly accessible.

Four Key Use Cases for USB2NANO

1️⃣ Service Interface: “On-Demand” WLAN for Technicians

More and more companies prohibit external devices on their network or require complex approval processes. This makes it difficult for service technicians who need immediate access to CS141 systems.

• With USB2NANO, a separate, secure ad-hoc WLAN is set up, accessible only to the technician.
• Quick access without IT approval – via smartphone hotspot or laptop.
• Maintenance, updates & troubleshooting without connecting to the customer's network.

2️⃣ Redundancy: Dual Networks for Maximum Security

In large networks, redundancy is critical. If routers or firewalls in the LAN fail, UPS data retrieval can be interrupted.

• With USB2NANO, a CS141 can communicate via two independent networks in parallel – wired (LAN) and wireless (WLAN).
• In the event of a failure, access via WLAN remains available, and monitoring systems like UNMS can still track the network status.

3️⃣ Pipe-Through via WLAN: Two Networks, One CS141

Previously, separate CS141 devices were required for different networks. The Pipe-Thru function has been used for years to facilitate this.

• USB2NANO enables the separation of two networks with just one device.
• Typical use case: A central UPS is shared by multiple companies.
• Each company maintains its own shutdown concepts without compromising security.

4️⃣ Secure Isolation of Untrusted UPS Network Devices

New EU regulations (NIS2, CRA, and DORA) introduce stricter network security requirements. In particular, SNMP cards from China are considered potential security risks and are often banned from networks. USB2NANO offers a secure alternative:

• Untrusted network cards are isolated via a peer-to-peer connection.
• No direct connection between the UPS and the customer’s network.
• Instead of using firewalls or complex router rules, USB2NANO handles the secure forwarding of UPS data via WLAN.

Conclusion:

✅ Service Interface: Ad-hoc WLAN for technicians without network approvals
✅ Redundancy: Dual network connectivity for maximum security
✅ Pipe-Thru via WLAN: Two independent networks with just one CS141
✅ Secure Isolation: Protection against untrusted SNMP cards & cyber threats
