This chapter provides an overview of the features available for the Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router and its Expansion Module. It contains the following sections:
 Note |
Prior to installing this device read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information . |
The Cisco IR1101 Industrial Integrated Services Router is a next generation modular industrial router which has a base module with additional Pluggable Modules that can be added. The Pluggable Module provides the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR1101 platform, for example, a cellular module.
Details on the Pluggable Modules can be found in the chapter Pluggable Modules.
The IR1101 also has Expansion Modules that adds key capabilities such as dual LTE Pluggables, mSATA SSD FRU, SFP, additional L2 ethernet interfaces, additional RJ45 serial ports, and Digital GPIO connections.

Digital I/O LEDs |
The Digital I/O connector has 4 GPIO connections plus 1 Return connection. The Digital I/O supports Both Dry and Wet contacts up to 60Volts.
Dry contact is isolated from a voltage source (or “No Volt”), with an embedded relay function (NPN transistor), usually used to indicate an event. For example: open/close, alarm.
Wet contact is a contact with external power (+3.3V to +60V, max 150mA of current allowed at high voltage) applied, usually used to energize something. For example: solenoid, light.
The following graphic shows the connector.
Note |
Digital I/O is only supported on IOS-XE version 16.12.1 and above. |
Note |
The default state of the Digital I/O is input, the open-collector is open (off). |
The pinouts for the Digital I/O are described in the following table.

Reverse voltage protected and causes no damage to the equipment.
Digital input and output can coexist on different channel.
LED Indicator: provision-able, On: Active, Off: Non-active.
Electrical isolation: 2000 VDC.
4kV Surge protected (IEC 61000-4-5).
There are 6 LEDs in the Expansion Module. Four LEDs show the status of digital input and output. One LED shows the SFP port status and one LED shows the mSATA status. The LED behavior is shown in the following table.

The IR-1100-SP Expansion Module is the same as the IR-1100-SPMI module, without the Digital I/O and mSATA components.
The following lists the hardware platform features for the Cisco IR-1100-SP:
1 GE SFP (see the supported list of SFP’s here: SFP Module, page 26 )
1 Pluggable slot
The IRM-1100-4A2T is an expansion module that can be attached to the IR1101. It offers an additional four asynchronous serial ports and two Ethernet interfaces to the IR1101. The following graphic shows the IRM-1100-4A2T.
The IRM-1100-4A2T Ethernet interfaces are Layer 2 RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports.
The IRM-1100-4A2T serial ports are RJ45 combo ports (RS232/RS485/RS422).
The IR1101 has two sides that expansion modules mount to. The top is called the Expansion side, and the bottom is called the Compute side. If the additional module is connected to the top, then it is referenced as the Expansion Module (EM) side. If the additional module is connected on the bottom, then it is referenced as the Compute Module (CM) side. Functionality differs depending on which side the expansion module is attached to, and how many and type of expansion modules are in use.
Note |
For more information, see the Installing the IRM-1100-4A2T Expansion Module section. |
The IRM-1100-4A2T can be managed from the following tools:
Cisco DNA Center
WebUI
The switch path that is detected on the platform, is based on the type of additional module connected on the Expansion module (EM) side. Refer to the following table:

Note |
When an IRM-IR1100-4A2T is connected on both sides of the IR1101-K9, there is a maximum of nine Async interfaces which can be enumerated. The switch path for the IR1101-K9 will be IR1101-ES-7G. |
The serial ports are intended as a DCE port, capable of both RS232 and RS485. RS485 can support full or half duplex.

The Cisco IR1101 uses flash memory and main memory. The flash memory contains the Cisco OS software image and the boot flash contains the ROMMON boot code. The memory includes:
4 GB DRAM (soldered down)
4 GB onboard flash memory
The Reset button resets the router configuration to the default configuration set by the factory. To restore the router configuration to the default configuration set by the factory, use a standard size #1 paper clip with wire gauge 0.033 inch or smaller and simultaneously press the reset button while applying power to the router.
The IR1101 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 IR1101 with a wireless Pluggable Module. For detailed information about Cisco Antennas for the Industrial Routers, please refer to the following guide:
Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide
The Cisco IR1101 wireless Pluggable Module uses the Sierra Wireless series modems. The software download page can be found here:

The Cisco IR1101 comes with an external DC power connector. The 4-pin power entry connector (receptacle) is mounted to the unit. The 4-pin power entry mating connector (plug) is attached to the receptacle. It is removed during installation and used to connect to the DC power source, then reattached to provide power to the unit.
Note |
The IR1101 may be connected to a Non-Cisco external power source provided that source meets the following requirements:
|
Connecting to a power supply is covered in Connecting to DC Power
The IR1101 supports one ISOLATED RS232 port which conforms to EIA-561 standard.
The RJ45 pinouts are shown in the following graphic.
The RS232 port is a DTE and its pin out is shown in the following table.
