Product Introduction
ICR-3211 is an industrial cellular router intended for the market in Europe, Middle East
and Africa (EMEA) area as well as for the North American market (NAM). The ICR-3211
router is designed for wireless communication in mobile networks that use traditional cellular
technologies. The primary purpose of this router is its use in the
Category M1
(Cat M1) and
Narrowband Internet of Things
(NB-IoT cat. NB1) services on the cellular LTE network.
LTE Cat M1 is a new cellular technology specifically designed for the needs of applications
targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) or machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. LTE Cat
M1 is a low-power wide-area (
LPWA
) air interface that lets you connect IoT and M2M devices
with medium data rate requirements (375 kbps upload and download speeds in half duplex
mode).
The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, serial line
RS232
,
RS485
,
one
binary input
and one
binary output
. The device also has two readers for 3 V and 1.8 V
SIM cards
, which are located on the left panel of the router. The router can be provided only
in a
metal casing
.
The ICR-3211 router is equipped with a
power backup feature
. It is a short-term power
backup (maximum 15 seconds - depending on technology) which is used to complete the
running operation or to send the required data immediately after failure of power supply.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected
Web interface
. Web
interface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed sys-
tem log etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using
IPSec
,
OpenVPN
and
L2TP
to ensure safe communication.
DHCP

The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP
connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, Low Power Mode and a hardware
watchdog that monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts which are started
on various actions. It is possible to create up to four different configurations for the same
router. These configurations can be switched whenever necessary via Web interface, SMS or
binary input status. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from
your central server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same
time.
The router also supports additional software like
R-SeeNet
or
WebAccess/VPN
for per-
manent traffic monitoring of routers.
