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
GSM-R router RR75i v2 is used to wirelessly connect various equipments and devices
via Ethernet interface 10/100 to the internet or intranet. Thanks to the support of an interna-
tional wireless communications standard for railway communication (GSM-R, Global System
for Mobile Communications – Railway) this router is used for secure and highly reliable com-
munication in the railway network. Among the main advantages of RR75i v2 router includes
high modularity – router offers a number of serial or wireless interfaces for connecting user
devices.
As a standard, this industrial router is equipped with one Ethernet 10/100, one USB Host
port, one binary input/output (I/O) port and one SIM card. To save and backup communication
data a version with two SIM cards is available. The wide range of interface options of the router
further expands expansion Port1 and Port2, which are selected by the customer. For Port1
are available: Ethernet port 10/100, serial interface ports RS232/RS485/RS422/MBUS or in-
puts/outputs (I/O – CNT). Port2 may be equipped with serial interfaces RS232/RS485/RS422/
MBUS, wireless interfaces WIFI/WMBUS, SDH expansion port or inputs/outputs (I/O – CNT).
Both of ports can be fitted with internal switch (exp. port SWITCH). This wireless 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. The GPRS/EDGE router
supports creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure
safe communication. Web interface provides detail statistics about the wireless router activi-
ties, signal strength, detailed log, etc. Router supports functions: DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS,
NTP, VRRP, control by SMS and many other functions.
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 win-
dow (start up script window) you may insert Linux scripts for various actions. For some appli-
cations the key option to create several different configurations for one wireless GPRS/EDGE
router, the so-called profiles (maximum of 4), and the option to switch between them (for exam-
ple via SMS, binary input status, etc.) is essential. Cellular wireless routers may automatically
upgrade configuration and firmware from server. This allows mass reconfiguration of many
routers in one time.
For easy use additional software may be used – communication VPN server Digicluster
and software for router monitoring R-SeeNet.

5.6 Mechanical dimensions and mounting recommendations
Mounting recommendations:
•possibility to be put on a work surface,
•DIN rail with clips CPD2 (ELPAC clip SL for metal version) are included.
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.
For 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 according to the next picture due to the elimination of interfer-
ence, 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 an external antenna,
Figure 9: Space around antennas Figure 10: Space around antennas for SL
10

RR75i v2
•For every cables we recommend to bind the bunch according to the following picture,
we recommend for this use:
–Length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) can be max-
imum 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
protectors (surge suppressors).
–With data cables they mustn’t carry cables with reticular tension ∼230 V/50 Hz.
–All signals to sensors must be twisted pairs.
Figure 11: Cable routing Figure 12: Cable routing for SL version
•Sufficient space must be left before individual connectors for handling of cables,
Figure 13: Space in front of connectors Figure 14: Space in front of connectors – SL
•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.

5.7 Removing from the DIN rail
The DIN holder is suitable for a DIN rail according to EN 60715 standard only. The default
position of plastic or metal holder, 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 holder, tighten the screws with max. 0.4 Nm torque.
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.
