CSG300 Series Appliances Datasheet
Introduction
Versa Networks Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 300 series appliances are purpose-
built to deliver SD-WAN, NGFW/UTM, Routing and ZTNA for small to medium size
enterprise branches, kiosks, ATMs, and home offices.
Versa CSG300 series appliances run VOSTM natively and they are managed by Versa’s
centralized management software Versa Concerto and Versa Director. Versa’s big
data based application, Versa Analytics, provides deep analytical insights view on
performance, application, security events, users and more.
Versa’s software defined architecture providing unified SD-WAN, routing, security and ZTNA on-premises helps migrate from
legacy standalone WAN edge routers, firewalls, and NAC solutions over to Versa’s software defined unified solution delivered by
CSG300 series platforms, achieving superior business agility, seamless connectivity and lower TCO.
Product Description
Versa CSG300 series WAN edge appliances deliver enterprise grade reliability, with advanced routing, SD-WAN, NGFW/
UTM, and on-premises ZTNA all in one appliance. Versa CSG300 series platforms offer a diverse set of wireline-based WAN
connectivity options as well as connectivity options across mobile networks (ie: LTE) together with built-in WLAN access
capabilities, all in one.
Each Versa CSG300 series appliance can be ordered with up to two factory-installed Advanced LTE modules to provide WAN
connectivity for backup, fast deployments or for load sharing purposes. An integrated 802.11AC Access Point (AP) module is orderable on
CSG355 and CSG365 platforms as a factory-installed module to provide integrated enterprise-grade WLAN coverage for the branch.
Field installable NICs expand the capabilities of CSG355 and CSG365 units further to provide up to 4 additional ports of Cu GE
with POE++ to power up to 4 PoE connected devices (up to 120 Watts in total). Alternatively, 4 ports of GE SFP, 1 port of ADSL2/
VDSL or 4 ports of T1-E1 can be added onto CSG355 and CSG365 units with the help of respective NICs.
Designed to be aesthetically pleasing, the CSG300 series appliances are cooled with whisper silent fans, making them suitable
for deployment in small enterprise offices and home office environments. CSG355 and CSG365 units can also be deployed in a
standard 19” rack with the use of rack mount ears.
The CSG300 series appliances consists of the following base models
• CSG350 is a compact and size optimized appliance for deployment in small branches that require advanced application and
cloud intelligence with hierarchical QoS, providing a cost-effective consolidated WAN Edge solution. If purchased with the
upgraded memory capacity, CSG350 units can also run full stack of NGFW and UTM functions as well.
• CSG355 is a powerful appliance for deployment in both small sized branches that need advanced SD-Security (NGFW + UTM)
along with built-in WLAN Access Point and additional Ethernet or non-Ethernet ports.

• CSG365 is a high-performance appliance for deployment at a small to medium-sized
branch locations that require advanced application and cloud-intelligent SD-WAN
services, advanced SD-Security (NGFW and UTM).
CSG300 series appliances can be deployed by managed service providers (MSPs) to offer
scalable managed services and by enterprises of all sizes on small to medium sized branches.
CSG300 series appliances have been elegantly designed and for ease of use whether they are
deployed as a desktop unit or deployed in a rack. CSG300 appliances
operate very silently to satisfy operation in environments such as small
offices, home offices and alike.
CSG300 series appliances are designed to simplify operations and
accessibility and to improve visibility of device operational status and
health. Status and cloud LEDs provide succinct visualization of the
operational status of the device and of the WLAN, and LTE connections. CSG 300 series
Versa CSG300 Series Advantages
Versa CSG300 series appliances scale from small to medium sized enterprise branch appliances for Secure WAN Edge deployments.
Versatility and Flexibility
CSG300 series appliances are based on x86 architecture, taking advantage of the latest performance enhancements for packet
processing, encryption/decryption, and compression/decompression offload to hardware to deliver efficient, high-performance
experience for small branches and home offices. The innovative CSG300 series appliances are engineered to deliver scalable
multi-tenant, enterprise-grade networking, and security services, such as Layer-2 bridging, routing, SD-WAN, NGFW, CGNAT,
802.1x based access control and more. Please see VOS datasheet for complete list of features that VOS offers.
Resiliency and Manageability Advantage
The CSG300 series appliances are designed for resiliency and durability to ensure business continuity and services. The CSG300
series appliances have intuitive LEDs to provide device and interface status for ease of manageability. CSG300 appliances also get
managed using Versa Titan mobile app.
Security Advantage
Versa CSG300 series platform hardware has been designed with security built-into hardware. CSG300 appliances come with
secure BIOS and secure boot capabilities. Integrated TPM chip ensures integrity and security of critical factory installed data.
LTE Advantage
Advanced LTE support is ubiquitously available across all CSG300 models and can be used as a primary or backup WAN
connections for enterprise sites. Enterprise customers can deploy CSG300 series appliances with up to three independent LTE
simultaneous connections, providing unmatched resiliency and flexibility for WAN access for the branch. Each appliance can
be ordered with up to two factory-installed, enterprise grade, internal Advanced LTE modems to provide simultaneous active
connectivity across two active LTE access links. Each LTE modem provides performance up to 300 Mbps downstream and up
to 50 Mbps upstream. Embedded Advanced LTE modules are firmware controlled, allowing for maximum carrier flexibility and
independence in global deployments.
CSG300 appliances have two externally accessible SIM card slots, each one mapping to each of embedded Advanced LTE
modems. CSG300 appliances have one external USB slot that can be used to connect to an external LTE module if desired. With
two internal modems and one USB attached modem, customers can deploy up to three simultaneous LTE connections. For more
information on embedded LTE modules, please see respective LTE module datasheet on https://www.versa-networks.com.

WLAN Advantage
Each CSG355 and CSG365 appliances can be ordered with a factory-installed 802.11ac (Wave2) high-performance dual-radio
access point module to deliver enterprise-grade WLAN Access Point based connectivity in the branch. The WLAN AP module is
an 802.11 a/b/g/n/an/ac (Wave2) access point that can support up to 8 SSIDs and 255 wireless clients concurrently across both
frequencies (totaling up to 16 SSIDs, 512 clients). The embedded WLAN AP module supports 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands
simultaneously (Dual Band, Dual Concurrent Access).
Versa WLAN AP module supports 2x2 MU-MIMO with beamforming capabilities with strong transmit power and is suitable for
enterprise office deployments. The WLAN AP module also supports mesh and frequency-band steering capabilities and has MRC
capabilities to process weak wireless signals from distant client devices, providing the best possible user experience. For more
information, see the Wi-Fi Modem datasheet on https://www.versa-networks.com.
NIC options
CSG355 and CSG365 platforms support rich set of NIC options extending interface support options further.
The 4-port PoE+ Network Interface Card (NIC) optional module can provide up to a total of 120 Watts of power to four connected
devices in aggregate while each port can drive up to 60 Watts. Note, a separate, dedicated PSU (power supply unit) is required for
to provide the PoE power. APs, cameras, VoIP phones, and other PoE-capable devices can be powered without using AC adapters
by leveraging the POE ports on the appliance.
Additional NIC options such as 4 port GE SFP NIC, ADSL2/VDSL2 NIC and T1/E1 NIC are also available. For more details, please
refer to respective datasheets on https://www.versa-networks.com.
