Reset Button
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.
NOTE : The rear cover must be removed to expose the reset switch.
NOTE : Before performing a write erase and reboot on the IR829, review the details in the Cisco IR800 Integrated Services Router Software Configuration Guide. The IR829 differs from traditional IOS routers.
Antennas
The IR829 has RP-TNC connectors for Wi-Fi and TNC connectors for cellular. The IR829 also has an SMA connector for a GPS antenna.
Standard antennas are:
- Two multiband swivel-mount dipole antennae (ANT-4G-DP-IN-TNC) and one extender (4G-AE010-R).
- WLAN: Three Cisco Multiband Swivel-Mount Dipole Antennae. (AIR-ANTM2050D-R) for WLAN functionality.
For detailed information about Cisco Antennas, please refer to the following guides:
Cisco Industrial Routers Antenna Guide:
Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference Guide
Antennas and Installation Scenarios
NOTE : Before choosing your antenna type and installation scenario, read through the following information.
Coexistence of radio standards:
When operating and planning installation of products with WiFi, 4G LTE, and GPS wireless standards coexisting on the IR829 platform, the user needs to provision greater than 15dB isolation between the WiFi and LTE antennas at all frequencies of 4G LTE and WiFI operation for minimum impact to performance.
Ideally, isolation should be 20-25dB or more. Specifically, users should not install 4G LTE dipoles and WiFi dipoles on the chassis at the same time, since doing so would generally result in less than 15dB isolation and may have a strong impact on performance depending on frequency bands in question.
Vehicular 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 installation and deployment notes
In the section that follows, the 5-in-1 antenna refers to ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O, and 2-in-1 antenna refers to ANT-2-WLAN-D-O.
Installation
Users need to provision a 8 x 8" flat mounting surface with a mounting hole on the roof of the vehicle for the 5-in-1 antenna, and a 6 x 6" flat mounting surface with a mounting hole for the 2-in-1 WiFi antenna. Without a flat mounting surface, the antenna will not meet IP67 standards and may have reduced service life.
Ground plane
Cisco recommends having a 1 foot ground plane under both the 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 antennas. In case of a metal vehicle roof, the roof itself shall be the ground plane. While Cisco has investigated the effects of ground plane and no ground plane, wireless performance was certified with the 1 foot ground plane.
Isolation between 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 antennas
Cisco recommends 18" inch spacing between the 5-in-1 and the 2-in-1 antenna centers for optimal isolation.
Cisco recommends routing the 2.4GHz WLAN ports of the IR829 to the 2-in-1 antenna, and the 5GHz ports to the 5-in-1 antenna to optimize isolation between WiFi 2.4 GHz and cellular 4G LTE. The 5-in-1 antenna has been fully optimized for WiFI and cellular LTE coexistence and isolation. Connecting the 2.4GHz WiFi signals to a separate antenna simply allows to user to optimize the antenna isolation further. Both the 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 are dual band WiFi capable and fully support both 2.4 GHz or 5GHz WLAN signals.
MIMO ports on 5-in-1 and 2-in-1
Cellular and WLAN ports on the 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 antennas support MIMO technology. MIMO brings significant improvements in throughput and robustness of the wireless link in fading channels. Users choosing to connect only one wireless port on MIMO capable products are giving up significant wireless performance in both throughput and robustness of the link.
- The individual 4G antenna cables on the 5-in-1 antenna can be connected to either cellular port of IR829. There is no one-to-one assignment requirement.
- The individual WLAN antenna cables on the 5-in-1 antenna and the 2-in-1 antenna can be connected to any WLAN port of IR829. There is no one to one assignment requirement.
The following section shows some examples of different installation scenarios.
Modem Support
The Cisco IR800 series Industrial routers use the MC73XX and MC74XX series modems. The software download page can be found here:

Since there is no I-temp copper SFP available in the market, there is no Copper SFP supported. In order to use a Copper SFP, you must enter service internal mode, and enter “unsupported transceivers”. Then unplug and insert the Copper SFP again.
NOTE: Speed and duplex commands are not available on the GE0 WAN interface.
The following two Copper SFPs (non I-temp) will be officially supported at 1Gbps:
-
Copper SFP - GLC- T
- Copper 1Gbps, (0 to 70°C), CPN is 30-1410-04
-
Copper SFP - SFP-GE-T

Cisco refers to the signal on pin 1 as DSR. Use the show interface async 0 (or 1) from the IOS command line will give you the state of the modem control signals on the last line:
DCD=up DSR=up DTR=down RTS=down CTS=up
Note : The Serial 0 and Serial 1 pin out is different from the Console/Auxiliary port, do NOT use the RJ-45 to DB-9 Blue colored Console Cable (72-3383-01).
DTE to DCE
While the equipment shown in Traditional DTE to DCE concept is less common today, the concept of DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and DCE (Data Communication Equipment) comes from the use of dial-up modems that were used on the telephone network until the late 1990’s.

RS232 Port
The RS232 signal names in #con_1195004__ apply to both Serial 0 and Serial 1 ports on the IR809 and IR829. It is the direction of the data and flow control signals that differs. The RS232-DCE port, Serial 0, is designed to be connected to a far-end DTE port, or to another DCE port via a crossover (null-modem) cable. The RS232-DTE port, Serial 1 is designed to be connected to a far-end DCE port, or to another DTE port via a crossover (null-modem) cable.
CAUTION : please read the following three caution statements.
- This port is not shared with the Console port as is seen on some routers and switches in the Cisco Enterprise Portfolio where a console is provided that can be accessed both via USB and RS232 delivered on an RJ-45 style physical port.
- The pinout is also different from the connector pinout that was used for a Cisco RS232 console delivered on an RJ-45 style physical port.
- Serial 0 and Serial 1 use EIA-561 standard for RS-232 signals on an RJ-45 style physical port. This means the “baby blue” colored Cisco Serial Console Cable (72-3383-01) WILL NOT WORK .

Serial 0 configured as an RS485 Port
The RS232 pin out follows the EIA-561 standard, however, there is no standard for an RJ-45 connector used for RS485. In the IR809 and IR829, the pin-pairs 1,2 and 3,6 were chosen for RS485 so that an Ethernet CAT-5 with the standard twisted-pair pin assignments can be used.
Note : RS485 usually requires 120 Ohm terminators at each end of the bus but there may be variations that depend upon the cable type.
The following are some of the common RS485 characteristics:
-
Electrical
- Same signal levels as RS-422 except the topology is implemented as a bus rather than point-to-point
- A – B (differential signal) < -0.3V = MARK = OFF = logical 1
- A – B (differential signal) > +0.3V = SPACE = ON = logical 0
-
Implications
- When RS485 is implemented as a bus, effectively, this is a form of a LAN and requires a higher level protocol. As a bus technology, you must have a protocol that controls access to the media vs. point-to-point where you can simply stream individual asynchronous characteristics.
- Since higher level protocol are used and the technology is primarily a LAN, no MODEM control signals are implemented in RS485.
2 Wire RS485 (Half Duplex)
Characteristics of a 2 wire, or Half Duplex RS485 connection include:
- Bus cable with a max. length of 1200 m (4000 ft) depending upon cable quality and speed of the data
- Stub cable with a max. of 5 meters
- Multi-master capability similar to coaxial cable based Ethernet
- Inverted line is generally indicated by the index "A" or "-" (TX/RX-)
- Non-inverted line designated as "B" or "+” (TX/RX+)
- Except for trivially short point to point connections, terminating resistors are generally required.
- A ground wire is also normally used in addition to what is shown in 2 Wire RS485 (Half Duplex)

Wiring Recommendations for RS-485 Networks:
- Typically Category 5 Ethernet cable is suitable for RS-485.
- Shielded cable is desirable and the shield should be grounded at on end if it is used.
- Half Duplex - one pair shall be used for TX/RX+ and TX/RX- signals (orange and white/orange) and one wire for GND (blue).
- Full Duplex - one pair shall be used for RX+ and RX- signals (green and white/green), one pair shall be used for TX+ and TX- signals (orange and white/orange), and one wire for GND (blue).
- Unused wires should be terminated with 100 ohm resistors to ground at both ends of the cable using your chosen wire termination method, e.g. screw terminals, punch down blocks, etc. This will help to avoid undesirable inductive pickup in the unused conductors.
RS485 Termination Resistors
The following are some best practices when using terminating resistors:
- When the bit time is not substantially longer than the loop time of the cable, termination is crucial for minimizing reflections. (Speed for the signal to go the length of the cable and reflect back)
- If the bit time is substantially longer than the loop time of the cable, you can usually get by without terminating resistors as can be observed with short point to point cables at lower baud rates.
- For standard termination, you would match the termination resistor value with the differential-mode characteristic impedance of the cabling on both ends of the network. Typically 120 Ohm.
- No 120 Ohm terminations are used on the other multi-drop ports in the middle of the network, only at the two far ends of the network.
RS485 Failsafe Resistors
The following are some best practices when using failsafe resistors:
-
When inputs are between -200mV and +200mV, receiver output is "undefined". There are four common fault conditions that result
in the undefined receiver output that can cause erroneous data:
- All transmitters in a system are in shutdown.
- The receiver is not connected to the cable.
- The cable has an open.
- The cable has a short.
- Fail-safe biasing is used to keep the receiver's output in a defined state when one of these conditions occurs.
- The fail-safe biasing consists of a pull-up resistor on the non-inverting line and a pull-down resistor on the inverting line.
- With proper biasing, the receiver will output a valid high when any one of the fault conditions occurs.
- Fail-safe bias resistors should be placed at the receiver end of the transmission line.
Serial Port Control
The entire layer 1 configuration of the IR809 / IR829 serial ports is done in IOS under the following constructs. The following example shows values other than the defaults to show most of the IOS keywords.
interface Async0 (or Async 1)
no ip address
encapsulation relay-line
line 1 (or line 2)
transport preferred none
transport input all
transport output all
databits 7
parity odd
stopbits 1
speed 1200
Note : To allow an IOx application to control the serial port parameters (set baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits), you must use the “propagation” keyword as shown in the following example:
IR800#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
IR800(config)#relay line 1 1/5 ?
propagation Allow virtual serial port to control the parameters
<cr>
IR800(config)#relay line 1 1/5 propagation
Virtual Serial Ports
Line 1/5 and 1/6 are the Linux serial ports viewed from IOS
line 1/5 1/6
transport preferred none
transport input all
transport output all
The physical and virtual ports are then linked by the following constructs:
relay line 1 1/5
relay line 2 1/6
- The serial devices, line 1/5 and 1/6, in IOS are instantiated in IOx as /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS2.
- The IOx serial device on the Linux host can then be exposed to an application container.
The port mapping from the physical port though IOS to the IOx would appear as in Port Mappings:
To switch Serial 0 from RS232 to RS485, the configuration is set in interface Async0. The RS485 half or full duplex is set there as well. For example:
RS485 HALF DUPLEX - Serial 0 Only:
interface Async0 no ip address
encapsulation relay-line half-duplex
media-type rs485 RS485 FULL DUPLEX - Serial 0 Only:
interface Async0 no ip address
encapsulation relay-line full-duplex (
<- default– will not print for a “show run” command
)
