Preface
Preface
Audience
This guide is for the network or computer technician responsible for installing the Perle
IRG5410/5410+ router also generically referred to as the IRG5410 within this document. All “+”
models support worldwide global coverage for LTE. Familiarity with the concepts and terminology of
LTE, GNSS, Ethernet, and LAN (local area networks) is required.
Purpose
Perle routers provide users, networking equipment, as well as M2M & IoT appliances with network
connectivity for fixed locations (i.e. buildings, POS, Kiosks, …etc.) and mobile (i.e. vehicle, trains,
robots) applications. In vehicular applications, the router provides connectivity and does not interact
with the vehicle’s operation or vehicle operators.
This document describes the hardware and physical characteristics of the Perle IRG5410 Series of
Routers. It covers hardware features as well as installation and operation. This document does not
cover how to configure your Perle IRG5410 router. Information to configure your Perle router can be
found in the Perle IRG5000 Series Router User’s Guide and the Perle IRG5000 Series Router CLI
Reference Guide on the Perle website. Quick Start information can be found in the IRG5410 Cellular
LTE Router Quick Start Guide (QSG) that comes with your product.

SIM Card/s
The IRG5410 supports two SIM cards. See Inserting the SIM card for the installation procedure.
Back ViewAntenna/s
The router has three SMA antenna connectors Main, Diversity and GNSS. For more information on
connecting the antennas see Back ViewAntenna/s.
USB-C Port
In console mode, the IRG5410 USB port provides direct access to the Command Line Interface (CLI)
as well as provides statuses, logging, and troubleshooting information. Alternative, this port can be
set as an Ethernet over USB port.
See Female Serial Pin out and Connecting to the USB-C port as an Ethernet over USB Port.
Ethernet LAN Ports
Once the port are connected and the link is established, the speed LED will turn on. The LED
indicates a 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps link on the Ethernet port/s

Connecting the Power
Some models ship with a DC power cable or a pigtail cable.
The GPIO connector can be configured as a high side pull-up/dry contact digital input, analog input,
low side current sink output, digital output/open drain, or pulse counter depending on your applica-
tion. Pin 3—IGN can be configured as vehicle ignition sense or as analog input.

Installation
The steps for a typical installation are:
1. Inserting the SIM card/s. See Inserting the SIM card
2. Connecting the antenna/s. See Connecting the Antenna/s
3. Connecting the Ethernet Ports. See Ethernet LAN Ports
4. Connecting the Serial Port. See Connecting to the Serial Port
5. Connecting to the Console Port in Console Mode. See Female Serial Pin out
6. Using the Console port as a virtual Ethernet port. See Connecting to the USB-C port as an Ether-
net over USB Port
7. Connecting the power. See Connecting the Power
8. Logging into the IRG5410 See Fast Setup
Inserting the SIM card
The IRG5410 comes with two SIM sockets for mini-SIM (2FF) cards.
Note: Ensure the power is disconnected before you insert the SIM card/s.
1. Using your Phillips screwdriver, removed the two screws from the panel covering the SIM slots.
Gently pry the cover loose from the opening.
2. Align the SIM card so that the SIM card will slide into the top slot (slot#1). Each SIM card has a
notched corner for orientation and the SIM card can only be inserted the correct way. You will
hear an audible click when the SIM is inserted correctly. Always populate slot#1 first. Add a
second SIM card if your network setup requires it.
3. Align the SIM cover plate and secure the plate with the screws.
Note: Do not force the SIM(s) card in or you may damage the card or your IRG5410 router.
