1.7 Mounting Recommendations

The router can be placed:

• on a flat surface,
• on a wall using the wall mounting clip (see Chapter 1.8),
• on a DIN rail EN 60715 with the metal DIN rail clip (see Chapter 1.9)

For most applications with a built-in router within a switchboard, it is possible to recognize two kinds of environments:

• A non-public, industry environment of low voltage with high interference,
• a public environment of low voltage and without high interference.

For both of these environments, it is possible to mount the router to a switchboard, after which there is no need to have examination immunity or issues in connection with EMC according to EN 61439-1:2011.

!

In compliance with the EN 61439-1:2011 specification, it is necessary to observe the following assembly instructions for a router attached to a switchboard:

• For whip antennas it is recommended to observe a minimum distance of 6 cm from cables and metal surfaces on every side in order to avoid interference. When using an external antenna separate from the switchboard it is necessary to fit a lightning conductor.
• When mounting a router on sheet-steel we recommend using a cable antenna.

• For all cables, we recommend to bind the bunch, and for this we recommend:

• The length of the bunch (the combination of power supply and data cables) should be a maximum 1.5 m. If the length of data cables exceeds 1.5 m or if the cable is leading towards the switchboard, we recommend installing surge protectors.

• Data cables must not be binded together with mains voltage cables 230V / 50Hz or 120V / 60Hz .

- Sufficient space must be left between each connector for the handling of cables,

- To ensure the correct functioning of the router we recommend the use of an earth-bonding distribution frame for the grounding of the grounding screw, see Chapter 2.5.

1.8 Wall Mounting

The wall mounting clip is supplied with the router as standard accessories.

The router can be screwed to a wall (or another surface) using the wall mounting clips. Two wall mounting clips are assembled to the router during the production and need to be rotated as shown of Figure 4.

There are two wholes on the clip with a diameter of 5 millimeters. For detailed information about the mounting dimensions see Figure 2 in Chapter 1.6.

When mounting the wall mounting clip, tighten the screws with max. torque of 0.4 Nm.

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with two vertical panels and green circular arrows indicating rotation or movement (no text or symbols)

Figure 4: Rotated Wall Mounting Clips

1.9 DIN Rail Mounting

The DIN rail clips are not supplied with the router as standard accessories, but they can be ordered by the order code BB-DIN-ICR32 (two pieces for one router).

Two DIN rail clips can be assembled to the router and used to mount it to the DIN rail which meets the 60715 standards. The default position of the clips is shown in Figure 5. If needed, the clips can be rotated vertically as well.

When mounting the clips, tighten the screws with max. torque of 0.4 Nm.

Power available to a PoE device	12.95 W / per port
Required power supply wattage for a PoE device	15.40 W / per port
Power available to a PoE(+) device	25.50 W / per port
Required power supply wattage for a PoE(+) device	30.0 W / per port

Table 6: PoE PSE Parameters

PoE Power Budget Examples

Example #1

This example is for the Advantech RPS-ICR4-WR2-PSE power supply, which can supply a power of 65 W. We will use 15 W as the maximum router power consumption; see Chapter 4.1. You can use this power supply to power:

• up to three PoE devices (3 × 15.4 W + 15 W = 61.2 W < 65 W),
• just one PoE+ device (1 × 30 W + 15 W = 45 W < 65 W).

Example #2

To power four PoE+ devices, you should power the router with a minimum power supply of 135 W; see the following calculation:

- required power supply wattage = 4 × 30 W + 15 W = 135 W.

Use a power supply with enough power to cover the required power consumption of all connected PoE devices, including the router itself. We recommend using a power supply with some power reserve.

!

2.4 SFP Cage

A hot-pluggable (SFP) network interface module with a speed of up to 10 Gbps can be settled into the ETH2 SFP cage.

Installing an SFP Module

To install a SFP module, see Figure 10 and follow these steps:

• You should use the bale clasp if the SFP module is equipped with it. If so, close the clasp before inserting the SFP module.
• Hold the SFP module with the hardware label facing up.

2.5 Power Supply

Two pin terminal connector with 3.5mm pitch is used to power the router. Corresponding connector is supplied with the router as a standard accessories.

Pin Signal mark Description
1	VCC(+)	Positive pole of DC supply voltage (+9 to +48 V DC)
2	GND(-)	Negative pole of DC supply voltage

Table 8: Power connector pinout

① ② 9 - 48 V DC

Figure 11: Power Connector Pinout

Required power supply voltage for the router is between +9 V and +48 V DC, see the connection scheme on Figure 11. Protection against reversed polarity without signaling is built into the router. For correct operation it is necessary that the power source is able to supply power of 18 W (non-PoE version).

If the router is grounded, using the grounding screw, there is no protection against the reversed polarity. The negative pole of the DC power supply must be at the same voltage reference as the grounding screw. If not, a voltage difference between these two points might damage the router, and only an authorized service center can fix it.

The power voltage for the PoE router version must be 48 V DC to work as the PoE PSE device.

All metal parts, including the box, are connected together with the negative pole of the power supply (common pole). If recommended for the installation environment, protect the router by grounding it properly by the grounding screw, see Figure 12.

Figure 12: Position of the Grounding Screw

2.6 Low Power Mode

!

In applications requiring low power consumption (such as solar power - not 7/24 mode) is strictly recommended to use LPM mode prior to powering down the entire router.

LPM (Low Power Mode) is a router mode where the router is in sleep mode with minimal power consumption; see Chapter 4.1 for the LPM consumption. The router can be woken up from this mode by a signal applied to the BIN1 input or after a predetermined period of time. Putting the router into LPM mode can be done using the lpm command, see Commands and Scripts application note for more details.

2.7 I/O Port Interfaces

The I/O user interface is designed for binary input processing and binary output control. The pinout of the I/O interface is described in Figure 13 and Table 9. For detailed electrical parameters see Chapter 4.5. The functional scheme of connection for the binary input and binary output is in Figure 14.

2.9 USB Port

There is one USB 2.0 host port with socket of USB-A type. USB Mass Storages and FTDI serial converters are supported. For a piece of advice, how to fix an unsupported FTDI chip, see the Commands and Scripts application note, chapter How to Use Unsupported FTDI Chip.

The USB port is disabled on overload to prevent its damage (connected device is trying to get too high current). The port is enabled again after the reboot of the router.

Mounting USB Flash Drive to the System

It is necessary to mount the USB flash drive to be able to access it in the system of the router. Follow these steps to mount the drive:

• Use the dmesg command to see the list of recently connected devices.
• In the output of the command find out the entry for the microSD card, for example: sda: sda1
• To mount the card to to mnt directory, use the mount command: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

2.12 Reset Functions

Consider creating a router configuration backup before performing the router's factory reset.

The RST button can be used in three different scenarios:

• Reset: Hold the RST button for less than 4 seconds; the router will reboot, applying its customized configuration. The router reset can be initiated by clicking the Reboot menu item in the router web GUI.
• Factory Reset: To restore the default factory configuration of the router, press and hold the RST button for more than 4 seconds. After that, the PWR LED turns off and on again. We recommend holding the RST button for 1 second after turning on the PWR LED.
• Emergency Factory Reset: If the router cannot boot up due to the incorrect configuration, turn off the router (disconnect the power supply).

3. First Use

3.1 Accessories Connection

Before putting the router into operation, it is necessary to connect all the components required to run your applications; see Chapter 1.2 for the hardware overview.

3.2 Router Configuration

Initial router configuration can be made via a web browser on your PC. Here you can perform router monitoring, configuration, and administration.

Connect the power supply to the router, see Chapter 2.5, and the router will boot up. Configure your PC to get the IP settings automatically from the network. Connect the network card of your PC to the default router LAN interface, Ethernet port ETH0, and the DHCP server will assign an IP address to your PC.

To get the router web interface, enter the https://192.168.1.1 address in a web browser. Please note that usage of the HTTPS protocol for secure communication over the network is required.

There is just the root user account created on the router by default. See the product label on the router for its default password ^1 . Log in to the web interface with the root user and his password. If logged in successfully, the user will have access to the router web interface, see Figure 19. See the router configuration manual [1] for a detailed description and examples of the router configuration.

!

After logging on to the device for the first time, we strongly recommend changing the default password due to security reasons.

!

For security reasons, we recommend regularly updating the router's firmware to the latest version. Downgrading the firmware to an older version than the production version or uploading firmware intended for a different device may cause the device's malfunction.

!

All routers have the WebAccess/DMP client pre-installed by default. The activated client periodically uploads router identifiers and configuration to the WebAccess/DMP server. See the configuration manual [1] , chapter Basic Information -> WebAccess/DMP Configuration, for more information.

Table 22: System Configuration

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

If you cannot connect to the router from your PC, your network card may be configured in such a way that it is not possible to connect to the router. Take one or more of the following steps in order to solve the problem:

• Make sure your PC's network card is configured to obtain the IP address form the DHCP server (by default the DHCP server is running in the router).
• Connect the router to the PC via Switch.
• Connect the router to the PC, start the router first and then start the PC after the router's initialization.

Ethernet connection fails or is not establishing.

- It is possible to turn auto negotiation off and set a rate and duplex manually on the Ethernet interface of the router. Available on "LAN Configuration" page in the router.

I cannot connect from the Internet to the device behind the router. I have NAT enabled.

- The device's gateway has to be configured so it points to the router.

I can't access my Web server placed behind the router over NAT.

- The remote HTTP access to the router has to be disabled on "NAT Configuration" page in the router. Also enable "Send all remaining incoming packets to default server" feature and fill in the IP address of your Web server. On the Web server, the default gateway has to be the IP address of the router.

DynDNS doesn't work.

• If the same IP address is recorded in your canonic name as a dynamically assigned address, it means that the provider is using NAT or a firewall.
• You can verify NAT using ping to your server with static address and then compare with router's IP address.
• You can verify a Firewall by accessing remotely to the router's Web interface.

• The operator may not provide the address of DNS server and without DNS server's address it is impossible to connect to the dyndns.org server. The following messages will be shown in the System Log:

• DynDNS daemon started

• Error resolving hostname: no such file or directory
• Connect to DynDNS server failed

L2TP or IPSec isn't establishing.

- Check the "System Log" page for error messages.

IPSec tunnel establishes but the communication does not run.

- Probably there are bad routing rules defined in the connected devices, or the default gateway.

Serial communication is not working.

- Verify that the router model supports serial communications. Also verify the serial communication settings. To do so, open the router's configuration menu via the web browser, select the appropriate "Expansion Port" from "Configuration" part of the menu and verify the settings.

Is the router Cisco compatible? Can I use the Cisco configuration?

- No, the Firmware in the router (Conel OS) is based on Linux with BusyBox. Thus the Cisco configuration cannot be used. But network connections are defined by standards so connecting the router to the Cisco or other networking devices is possible and will be compatible.

FTP or SFTP does not work

- FTP will work on v2 routers only. You can use SFTP on all routers to transfer files to/from the router. If having troubles with FTP on v2 routers, make sure you have FTP enabled: "Configuration" section, "Services", "FTP". Then you can connect with any client on port 21 with name and password same as for the Web interface. If having troubles with SFTP, make sure you have SSH enabled: "Configuration" section, "Services", "SSH". Then you can connect with any client on port 22 with name and password same as for the Web interface.

How can I connect to the router's command line? (SSH, Telnet)

- You can use SSH on all routers or Telnet on v2 routers only. SSH is enabled by default, but you can verify in Web interface in "Configuration" section, "Services", "SSH". Then connect with any SSH client on port 22 of the router. User and password is the same as for the Web interface. Telnet on v2 routers can be enabled here: "Configuration" section, "Services", "Telnet".
