ICR-4401
1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Introduction
The ICR-4401 is a LAN Router &Powerful Edge Computing Gateway focused on the
global market.
This router is an ideal solution for demanding IoT applications such as industrial routers
and gateways, digital signage, industrial computers, and tablets, etc.
The router, assembled in a robust metal box, is equipped with five 1Gb Ethernet ports,
one SFP cage together with interfaces of RS232,RS485,CAN bus, two binary inputs and
two binary outputs. A microSD card can be inserted under this cover as well. The desig-
nated router models can be equipped with a WiFi module with 3x3 MIMO antennas.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web
interface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed sys-
tem log etc. The router supports VPN tunnels using IPSec (), OpenVPN,GRE,L2TP or PPTP
to make sure safe communication. IPv6 Dual Stack,DHCP,NAT,NAT-T,DynDNS,DNS
proxy,VLAN,QoS,NTP,VRRP, port forwarding, primary connection backup and many other
functions are supported.
The router supports the Low Power Mode and hardware watchdog, which monitors the
router status and performs an automatic restart if required.
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 when necessary via Web interface or binary input status.
The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central
server. WebAccess/DMP and WebAccess/VPN remote device management platforms are
supported as well.
Examples of possible applications
• mobile office
• security system
• remote monitoring
• vending and dispatcher machines

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, 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 be binded together with mains voltage cables
∼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 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 roteted
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 2in Chapter 1.6.
When mounting the wall mounting clip, tighten the screws with max. torque of 0.4 Nm.
Figure 4: Rotated Wall Mounting Clips

ICR-4401
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.
Figure 5: Default Position of the DIN Rail Clips
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 as shown in Figure 6.

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 Interfaces
Three R-SMA connectors WIFI1 are available for the connection of the WiFi antennas.
Recommended tightening moment for screwing the antenna to the SMA connector is 0.9 Nm.
2.2 Ethernet Interfaces
The RJ45 panel socket is used for four ETH0 (switched) and one ETH1 Ethernet interfaces.
The pinout of the socket is shown in Figure 10 and described in Table 5.

Table 5: Ethernet Connector Pinout Description of RJ45 Socket
All four ETH0 ports can be used for PoE PSE if the router is equipped with this feature. For
more information about the PoE, see Chapter 2.3; for technical parameters, see Chapter 4.7.
The isolation barrier of the Ethernet ports against the ground is 1500 V.

ICR-4401
2.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) PSE
Available only for models with PoE PSE feature; see Chapter 1.3 for the order codes.
The IEEE 802.3af/PoE (Type 1) and IEEE 802.3at/PoE+ (Type 2) standards are supported.
The device is Mode B compliant.
You can use the pse command to control the PoE functionality; see the Commands and Scripts
application note.
The router power supply must be 48 V DC to work as the PoE PSE device.
The PoE PSE feature allows the router to power other devices over the Ethernet socket;
see the functional scheme in Figure 9.
Figure 9: PoE PSE Funcional Scheme
The PoE PSE is supported by all four ETH0 network sockets and can be enabled sepa-
rately in the Ethernet configuration pages; see the router configuration manual [1], Chapter
Configuration -> Ethernet Configuration, for details. For the Ethernet socket pinout, see Chap-
ter 2.2.
For a current PoE state, see the General status page in the GUI. When enabled and an
external device is powered, you can find current, voltage, power, and power class information
here.
