ICR-3201
1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Introduction
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 assembled 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, Low Power Mode 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.
Examples of possible applications
•fleet management
•security system
•telematic
•telemetric
•remote monitoring
•vending and dispatcher machines

1.8 Mounting Recommendations
The router can be placed:
•on a flat surface,
•on a wall (or another 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 the router to a switchboard, af-
ter 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 ca-
bles 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 conduc-
tor.
•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 have a reticular tension of ∼230 V/50 Hz or ∼120 V/60 Hz.
•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 power supply of the router, data cables
and antenna within the switchboard.

1.9 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 roteted
as shown of Figure 6.
There are two wholes on the clip with a diameter of 5 millimeters. For detailed information
about the mounting dimensions see Chapter 1.7.
When mounting the wall mounting clip, tighten the screws with max. torque of 0.4 Nm.
Figure 6: Rotated Wall Mounting Clips

1.10 DIN Rail Mounting
The DIN rail clip is suitable for a DIN rail according to EN 60715 standards.
When mounting the DIN rail clip, tighten the screws with max. torque of 0.4 Nm.
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.

2. Hardware Functionality
See Chapter 1.2 for the product hardware overwiew. Table 1lists a short description of the
hardware, including the links to the chapters with a detailed description.
2.1 Antennas
For WiFi models, connect WiFi antennas to the router to WIFI1 and WIFI2 R-SMA connec-
tors on the right panel.
Recommended tightening moment for screwing the WiFi antennas to the R-SMA connectors
is 0.9 Nm.
2.2 Ethernet Interfaces
The panel socket of RJ45 is used for Ethernet interface. The pinout of the socket is shown
in Figure 9and described in Table 6.

2.3 Power Supply
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 7: Connection of power connector
Figure 10: 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 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.
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.
Circuit example:
Figure 11: 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.

2.4 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 BIN0 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.
