SAFETY INSTRUCTION
1. Safety instruction
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 to health and damage to appliances and to ensure that all
the relevant provisions have been complied with, use only the original accessories.
Unauthorised modifications or utilization of accessories that have not been approved
may result in damage to the router and in a breach of applicable regulations.
Unauthorized modifications or utilization of accessories that have not been approved
may result in the termination of the validity of the guarantee.
• The router can not be opened.
• Caution! The SIM card could be swallowed by small children.
• It must not be exceeded by the maximum voltage 30V DC power connector on the router.
• Do not expose the router to extreme ambient conditions. Protect the router against dust,
moisture and high temperature.
• The router should not be used at petrol stations of flammable and explosive materials.
We remind the users of the duty to observe the restrictions concerning the utilization
of radio devices at petrol stations, in chemical plants, or in the course of blasting works
in which explosives are used.
• Switch off the router when travelling by plane. Utilization of the router in 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, or, it may
result in legal sanctions; it may also result in both eventualities.
• When using the router in the close proximity of personal medical devices, such as
cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids, you must proceed with heightened caution.
• If it is in the proximity of TV sets, radio receivers and personal computers, the telephone
may cause interference.
• It is recommended that you should create an appropriate copy or backup of all
the important settings that are stored in the memory of the device.

ROUTER DESCRIPTION
3. Router description
Router UCR11 v2 use two modules UMTS/HSDPA and CDMA for wirelessly connect
various equipments and devices via Ethernet interface 10/100 to the Internet or intranet.
Thanks to high data transfer speed, up to 3.6 Mbit/s (download) and upload speed up to 384
Kbit/s for UMTS module and up to 3.1 Mbit/s (download) and upload speed up to 1.8 Mbit/s
for CDMA module it is an ideal wireless solution for traffic and security camera systems,
individual computers, LAN networks, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service
terminals and machines.
As a standard, this UCR11 v2 wireless 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 this router further expands an expansion Port1 and Port2 – selected by
the customer – e.g. Ethernet port 10/100, serial interface ports RS232/RS485/RS422/MBUS
or (I/O – CNT). Port2 may be equipped with serial interfaces RS232/RS485/RS422/MBUS or
(I/O – CNT). Both of ports can be fitted with internal switch XC-SW. 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 router supports
creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP to ensure safe
communication. Web interface provides detail statistics about the router activities, signal
strength, detailed log, etc. Cellular 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
inspection 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 applications the key option to create several different configurations for one
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 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.
Examples of possible applications
• mobile office
• fleet management
• security system
• telematic
• telemetric
• remote monitoring
• vending and dispatcher machines

ROUTER DESCRIPTION
5.6. Mechanical external dimensions and mounting recommendations
Mounting recommendations:
• possibility to be put on a work surface,
• DIN rail with clips CPD2 (Elpac clip SL for SL 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 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 an external antenna,

ROUTER DESCRIPTION
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 maximum 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
Fig. 11: Cable routing Fig. 12: Cable routing for SL version
•sufficient space must be left before individual connectors for handling of cables
Fig. 13: Space in front connectors Fig. 14: Space in front connectors SL version
•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,

Power supply for router is required between +10 V to +30 V DC supply. Protection
against reversed polarity without signaling is built into the router.
The power consumption during receiving is 1W. The peak power consumption during
data sending is 5,5W. For correct operation it is necessary that the power source is
able to supply a peak current of 600mA.
Connector on the power cable connects into the power connector on the router head
and tightens locking screws. (See bellow picture)
