3. Router Description
ICR-3201 is a LAN industrial router intended for the global market. This router is an ideal
device for the realization of a secure connection of two local area networks (LANs). Inter-
connection is carried out using two ETHERNET 10/100 interfaces and secure tunnel (IPSec,
OpenVPN, L2TP). The other equally important ways to use this router is to connect any device
with RS232, RS485 or I/O interface to the local network (LAN).
The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, serial line RS232, RS485,
one binary input and one output. The router can be equipped with a WiFi module, but this
must be part of the initial configuration – it cannot be added to the router at some point in the
future. The router can be provided only in a metal casing.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web in-
terface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed system
log etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP
to ensure safe communication. DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, backup primary
connection and many other functions are supported.
The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP
connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that
monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts which are started on various
actions. It is possible to create up to four different configurations for the same router. These
configurations can be switched whenever necessary via Web interface or binary input status.
The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central server.
This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time.
The router also supports additional software like R-SeeNet for permanent traffic monitoring
of routers or WebAccess/VPN for remote access.

5.5 Mounting Recommendations
Router can be placed:
•on a flat surface,
•on a wall (or other surface) using the side wings,
•on a DIN rail EN 60715 with the included metal DIN rail clip.
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 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.
If the negative pole of the router is grounded, there is no protection against reversed
polarity! The only protection left is the fuse inside the device. Only the service center can
restore the router’s functionality.
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 seperate from the switchboard it is necessary to fit a lightening
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 (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 have a reticular tension of ∼230 V/50 Hz or ∼120 V/60 Hz.
•Sufficient space must be left between individual connectors for the handling of cables,
•To ensure correct functioning of the router we recommend the use of an earth-bonding
distribution frame for the grounding of the power supply of the router, data cables and
antenna within the switchboard.

5.6 Removing from the DIN Rail
The DIN rail clip is suitable for a DIN rail according to EN 60715 standard only. The default
position of metal rail clip, which is used for mounting the router on a DIN rail, is shown in
the following figure. Its position can be changed on some models (back or bottom). When
changing the position of the DIN rail clip, tighten the screws with max. 0.4 Nm torque.
Figure 6: Default position of DIN rail clip
To remove the router from the DIN rail it is necessary to lightly push down the router so
that the bottom part of the DIN rail clip hitched to the DIN rail get out of this rail and then fold
out the bottom part of the router away from the DIN rail.

5.7.2 Power Connector PWR
Terminal block 3.5 mm.
Pin number Signal mark Description
1 VCC(+) Positive pole of DC supply voltage (+9 to +36 V DC)
2 GND(-) Negative pole of DC supply voltage
Table 6: Connection of power connector
Figure 9: Power connector
Power supply for router is required between +9 V to +36 V DC supply. Protection against
reversed polarity without signaling is built into the router.
If the negative pole of the router is grounded, there is no protection against reversed
polarity! The only protection left is the fuse inside the device. Only the service center can
restore the router’s functionality.
For correct operation it is necessary that the power source is able to supply a peak current
of 1.2 A.
Unit has to be supplied by a power supply specified as a Limited Power Source (LPS) or
CEC/NEC Class 2 source of supply.
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.
Circuit example:
Figure 10: Connection of power supply
All metal parts, including the box, are connected together with the negative pole of power
supply (common pole). To ground the router can be used the grounding screw located on the
left panel.

5.7.4 Reset Button
The RST button on the front panel has three functions on ICR-3200 routers:
•Reboot the router:
Hold the RST button for less than 4 seconds, the router will be restarted.
•Factory reset – restore the default configuration:
Hold the RST button for more than 4 seconds. The PWR LED turns off and on
again. We recommend holding down the RST button for 1 second after turning on the
PWR LED on the front panel.
•Factory reset – restore the default configuration when unable to boot:
If the router is unable to boot due to a bad configuration, turn off the router (power
supply). Push and hold the RST button, turn on the router and hold the RST button for
at least 10 seconds. This will return the router to default configuration.
Before performing the factory reset of the router, it is recommended to back up the router
configuration settings (see Configuration manual for ICR-3200 routers) because reset of
the router will return all configuration settings to their default states.
In order to press the RST button it is necessary to use a narrow screwdriver or any other small
tool.
