The router has two alarm inputs and one alarm output.

You can connect the router to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through the RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

The power-input terminal provides screw terminals for the AC and DC power connections. The router can operate with one or two power supplies. If one of the power sources fail, the other continues to power the router. See Power Supply Installation for more information.

The uplink ports support 100M optics and 1G optics. When using a 1000BaseT SFP, the port only operates at 1000 mbps.

The router Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable transceiver modules provide the downlink interfaces. The IR8340 router supports both FE and GE optics in the downlinks. SFP modules have local connectors (LCs) for fiber-optic connections.

For information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation. For more information about SFP modules and cables, see Transceiver Modules .

The small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports on the Cisco IR8340 router support the following SFP modules:

You can set the 10/100/1000 ports on the router to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, or 10/100/1000 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. The default setting is autonegotiate.

When set for autonegotiation, the router determines the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the router negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).

Warning

Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072

The 10/100/1000 PoE ports on the router provide PoE support for devices that are compliant with IEEE 802.3af/802.3at. The Cisco prestandard PoE is also supported for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points. The PoE ports on the router deliver up to 30 W of PoE+ power. All four ports are PoE ports and can be assigned a port priority.

On IR8340, GigabitEthernet 0/1/0 and GigabitEthernet 0/1/1 support POE/POE+/UPOE, GigabitEthernet 0/1/2 and GigabitEthernet 0/1/3 support POE/POE+ only.

On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected.

The 10/100/1000 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use CAT3 or CAT4 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.

For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the router software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

Note	The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.

Mini-SATA, or mSATA, is a low-profile interface connector that enables more effective Serial ATA (SATA) integration in small form-factor drives roughly the size of a business card, such as solid state disks (SSDs). The Cisco IR8340 router provides an expand slot to accommodate the mSATA module (PID: IRM-SSD-100G). The following figure shows the mSATA Pluggable Module.

Highlights of the mSATA Pluggable Module are:

• Provides an additional 100 GB of additional flash memory storage

• Field replaceable unit, not hot-swappable

The IR8340 router supports a pluggable timing module (Cisco PID: IRM-TIMING-MOD), which has the following timing ports:

• ToD + 1 PPS Output—Provide time of day (ToD) messages or one pulse-per-second (1 PPS) messages

• IRIG-B (analog and digital Input/Output) interfaces

• GNSS Receiver

Timing card is pluggable but does not support OIR operation. The module has to be plugged in when the IR8340 is fully shut down.

The Cisco IR8340 router supports a flash memory card that makes it possible to replace a failed router without reconfiguring the new router. The slot for the flash memory card is on the front of the router. The flash card is hot swappable and can be accessed on the front panel in non hazardous locations only. A cover protects the flash card and holds the card firmly in place. The cover is hinged and closed with a captive screw. This prevents the card from coming loose and protects against shock and vibration.

For more information on inserting and removing the flash memory card, see Replacing the SD Flash Memory Card.

The Network Interface Modules (NIMs) support data applications on the Cisco IR8340 router.

The following NIMs are supported:

• IRM-NIM-2T1E1—2 ports T1/E1 module, provides T1/E1 connectivity to the router.

• IRM-NIM-RS232—8 ports async/sync RS232 serial module, provides serial connectivity to the router.

The Pluggable Module provides the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR8340 router, for example, a cellular module.

The IR8340 router supports the following Pluggable Modules:

• P-LTE-MNA

• P-LTEA-EA

• P-LTEA-LA

• P-LTEAP18-GL

• P-5GS6-GL

The IR8340 must have a Pluggable Module with antenna ports installed in order to connect antennas. The base unit does not have any wireless capabilities on its own.

The Antenna Selection and Installation chapter lists the supported Antennas and Accessories for the Cisco IR8340 router with a wireless Pluggable Module. For detailed information about Cisco Antennas for the Industrial Routers, please refer to Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide .

You can use the system and port LEDs to monitor router activity and performance.

The router has two slots for power-supply modules and supports the following power supplies:

• PWR-RGD-LOW-DC: low-voltage DC, 24 to 60VDC input, 150 watt output

• PWR-RGD-AC-DC-250: high-voltage AC or DC, 100 to 240VAC/100 to 250VDC input, 250 watt output

Note	For detailed specifications, see the IR8340 data sheet.

The router supports these power-supply module combinations:

• Single low-voltage DC

• Single high-voltage DC or AC

• Two high-voltage DC or AC

• Two low-voltage DC

• One high-voltage DC or AC and one low-voltage DC
