General Description
The Cisco 809 Integrated Services Router (IR809), part of the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation
2 (ISR G2) Family, is designed as a next generation ruggedized fixed form factor router. It is a small-form
factor router with LTE, for use in ATM, POS, Telemetry, Billboards, Enterprise Fleet markets, Utilities and
other SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) environments.
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For purposes of this documentation
set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial
identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be
present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software,
language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Reset Button
The Reset button resets the router configuration to the default configuration set by the factory. To restore the
router configuration to the default configuration set by the factory, use a standard size #1 paper clip with wire
gauge 0.033 inch or smaller and simultaneously press the reset button while applying power to the router.
The reset button works in two different manners:
•With the reset button pressed for less than 10 seconds, the IR809 will load with saved start-up configuration
at that time.
• With the reset button pressed longer than 10 seconds, the NVRAM file system is erased and the IR809
boots up with Initial Configuration.
Supported Cisco Antennas and Cables
The Cisco IR809 ships without antennas. All antennas are options that can be ordered separately.
