1. Safety Instructions
Please, observe the following instructions:
•The router must be used in compliance with all applicable international and national laws
and in compliance with any special restrictions regulating the utilization of the router in
prescribed applications and environments.
•To prevent possible injury and damage to appliances and to ensure compliance with
all relevant provisions, use only the original accessories. Unauthorized modifications or
the use of unapproved accessories may result in damage to the router and / or a breach
of applicable regulations. Unauthorized modifications or use of unapproved accessories
may void the warranty.
•The router can not be opened.
•Turn off the router and disconnect it from power supply before handling the SIM card.
•Caution! The SIM card could be swallowed by small children.
•Input voltage must not exceed 36 V DC max.
•Do not expose the router to extreme ambient conditions. Protect the router against dust,
moisture and high temperature.
•Only routers with appropriate certification and labelling should be used in locations where
flammable and explosive materials are present, including gas stations, chemical plants,
or locations in which explosives are used. We remind users of the duty to observe the
restrictions concerning the utilization of radio devices at such places.
•Switch off the router when traveling by plane. Utilization of the router on a plane may
endanger the operation of the plane or interfere with the mobile telephone network, and
may be unlawful. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the suspension or
cancellation of telephone services for the respective client and / or may result in legal
sanctions.
•When using the router in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as cardiac
pacemakers or hearing aids, you must proceed with heightened caution.
•The router may cause interference when used in close proximity to TV sets, radio re-
ceivers or personal computers.
•It is recommended that you create an appropriate copy or backup of all important settings
that are stored in the memory of the device.

3. Router Description
LTE router LR77 v2 Libratum is used to wireless connect various equipments and devices
via Ethernet interface 10/100 to the internet or intranet. Due to the high data transfer speed of
up to 14.4 Mbps (download) and up to 5.76 Mbps (upload) is this router an ideal wireless so-
lution for traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic
teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals, etc.
As a standard, LTE router LR77 v2 Libratum is equipped with two Ethernet 10/100 and two
SIM card holders. This cellular router is supplied either in a plastic or metal casing, based on
the requirements of the customer.
Configuration is done via web interface protected by password. LR77 v2 Libratum sup-
ports creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe
communication. Web interface provides detail statistics about the 3G router activities, signal
strength, detailed log, etc. Cellular router supports functions: DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS,
NTP, VRRP, control by SMS and many other function.
Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include automatic inspec-
tion of PPP connection offering an automatic restart feature – in case of connection losses, or
hardware watchdog which monitors the status of the router. With the help of a special window
(start up script window) you may insert Linux scripts for various actions. For some applica-
tions the key option to create several different configurations for one LTE wireless router, the
so-called profiles (maximum of 4), and the option to switch between them (for example via
SMS, binary input status, etc.) is essential. Cellular routers LR77 v2 Libratum may automat-
ically upgrade configuration and firmware from server. This allows mass reconfiguration of
many routers in one time.
The router also supports additional software like R-SeeNet for permanent traffic monitoring
of routers or communication VPN server Digicluster.

5.5 Mounting recommendations
•possibility to be put on a work surface,
•DIN rail EN 60715 with included plastic or metal clip.
For the most of applications with a built-in router in a switch board it is possible to recognize
two kinds of environments:
•no public and industry environment of low voltage with high interference,
•public environment of low voltage without high interference.
For both of these environments it is possible to mount router to a switch board, the following
there is no need to have examination immunity or issues in connection with EMC according to
EN 60439-1 ed.2:00 + A1:04.
Attention: If the negative pole of the router is grounded, there is no protection against
reversed polarity!
Compliance of EN 60439-1 ed.2:00 + A1:04 specification it is necessary to observe next
assembly of the router to the switch – board:
•For whip antennas we recommend to observe a distance of 6 cm from cables and metal
surfaces on every side due to the elimination of interference. While using an external
antenna except for the switch-board it is necessary to fit a lightening conductor.
•Before mounting a router on sheet-steel we recommend using a "cable" antenna.
Figure 9: Space around antennas (plastic) Figure 10: Space around antennas (metal)

LR77 v2 Libratum
•For every cables we recommend to bind the bunch, we recommend for this use:
–Length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) can be maxi-
mum 1.5 m. If the length of data cables exceeds 1.5 m or in the event of, the cable
leads towards the switch – board. We recommend installing over – voltage protec-
tors (surge suppressors).
–With data cables they mustn’t carry cables with reticular tension ∼230 V/50 Hz.
Figure 11: Cable routing (plastic) Figure 12: Cable routing (metal)
•Sufficient space must be left in front of individual connectors for handling of cables,
Figure 13: Space in front of connectors (plastic) Figure 14: Space in front of connectors (metal)
•For correct function of the router we recommend to use in the switch-board earth-bonding
distribution frame for grounding of power supply of router, data cables and antenna.

5.6 Removing from the DIN rail
DIN holder is suitable for DIN rail according to EN 60715 standard only. Default position
of plastic or metal holder, which is used for mounting the router on a DIN rail, is shown in the
following figure:
Figure 15: Default position of DIN holder
For removing from the DIN rail it is necessary to lightly push upward the router so that the
top part of the DIN holder hitched to the DIN rail get out of this rail and then fold out the top
part of the router away from the DIN rail.
