Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the IXrouter3. The IXrouter is the standard and most supported
hardware for IXON’s IXplatform. The IXrouter makes it convenient to remotely connect to
your equipment, while the built-in firewall keeps your equipment safe from outside
threats.
Configuration is as easy as inserting a USB flash drive, which contains your configuration
file, into the IXrouter's USB port. The configuration file can be generated from the [Tools]
page on the IXplatform.

Installation
Install in an enclosure
These devices are open-type and are meant to be installed in an enclosure
which is only accessible with the use of a tool and suitable for the environment.
When designing the layout of your system, always separate the devices that generate
high voltage and high electrical noise from the low-voltage, logic-type devices such as the
IXrouter3.
Also consider the heat-generating devices and locate the electronic-type devices in the
cooler areas of your cabinet. Reducing the exposure to a high-temperature environment
will extend the operating life of the IXrouter3.
Consider also the routing of the wiring for the devices in the panel. Avoid placing low-
voltage signal wires and communications cables in the same tray with AC power wiring
and high-energy, rapidly-switched DC wiring.
The IXrouter3 is designed to be cooled using natural convection. For proper cooling, you
must provide a clearance of at least 25 mm above and below the device. Also, allow at
least 25 mm of depth between the front of the device and the inside of the enclosure.
Because IXON’s IXrouter3 is essentially a small computer, the IXrouter3 can be used for
many different purposes. You can, for example, access, program and control industrial
machines around the globe. Do not use the IXrouter3 unless you’ve received proper
training or have proper knowledge about the IXrouter3 and its capabilities. It is expected
that the user is knowledgeable about networking settings and is aware of the potential
consequences on i.e. security.
