ICR-4401 2. Hardware Functionality See Chapter for the product hardware overwiew. Table lists a short description of the hardware, including the links to the chapters with a detailed description. 2.1 Antennas Interfaces Three R-SMA connectors WIFI1 are designed for the connection of the WiFi antennas.
ICR-4401 2.3 SFP Cage A hot-pluggable (SFP) network interface module with a speed of up to 10 Gbps can be settled into the ETH2 SFP cage. Installing an SFP Module To install a SFP module, see Figure and follow these steps: You should use the bale clasp if the SFP module is equipped with it.
ICR-4401 2.4 Power Supply Two pin terminal connector with 3.5 mm pitch is used to power the router. Corresponding connector is supplied with the router as a standard accessories. Signal mark Description VCC(+) Positive pole of DC supply voltage (+9 to +48 V DC)
ICR-4401 All metal parts, including the box, are connected together with the negative pole of the power supply (common pole). If recommended for the installation environment, protect the router by grounding it properly by the grounding screw on the right panel, see Figure 8.
ICR-4401 2.5 I/O Port Interfaces The I/O user interface is designed for binary input processing and binary output control. The pinout of the I/O interface is described in Figure and Table 5. For detailed electrical parameters see Chapter 4.5. The functional scheme of connection for the binary input and binary output is in Figure 10.
ICR-4401 2.6 Serial Interfaces The RS232, RS485 CAN serial interfaces together with the two I/O interfaces are physically connected to the 14-pin terminal block panel socket. All these interfaces are not isolated from the router. The pinout of this connector is described in Figure and the tables below.
ICR-4401 2.7 USB Port There is one USB 2.0 host port with socket of USB-A type. USB Mass Storages and FTDI serial converters are supported. For a piece of advice, how to fix an unsupported FTDI chip, see the Commands and Scripts application note, chapter How to Use Unsupported FTDI Chip.
ICR-4401 2.8 MicroSD Card Reader The microSD card reader is located on the router’s rear panel under a metal cover. This card reader allows the router to operate with microSD memory cards. The technical speci- fications are stated in the table below. The microSD card changing procedure is described below.
