1.4 SET button
The SET button has the following functions:
Restart
Hold down the button for longer than 3 seconds to run a restart.
Loading new firmware
If the normal procedure with the "Load & Save" menu of Web Based Management does not work, the reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if there is a power outage during the normal firmware update.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) starts to flash after approximately 3
seconds.
– Now release the button. The bootloader waits in this state for a new firmware file that
you can download using TFTP.
You will find more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the RUGGEDCOM RM1224 Web Based Management configuration manual.
Reset to factory defaults
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) stops flashing after approximately 10
seconds and is permanently lit.
– Now release the button and wait until the fault LED (F) goes off again. The device then
starts automatically with the factory settings and can be reached via the IP address
192.168.1.1.
You will find more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the RUGGEDCOM RM1224 Web Based Management configuration manual.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD Do not press the SET button when there is an explosive atmosphere.

1.5 C-PLUG and KEY-PLUG

1.5 C-PLUG and KEY-PLUG
How it works
The C-PLUG or KEY-PLUG is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the new device when a device is replaced.
NOTICE Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation! A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether or not a PLUG is present at one second intervals. If it is detected that the PLUG was removed, there is a restart.
If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted in the device, the device changes to a defined error state following the restart.
When the new device starts up with the PLUG, it then continues automatically with exactly the same configuration as the old device. One exception to this can be the IP configuration if it is set over DHCP and the DHCP server has not been reconfigured accordingly.
A reconfiguration is necessary if you use functions based on MAC addresses. If an incorrect PLUG, for example from another product or a damaged PLUG is inserted, the device signals an error with the "F" LED.
You can either remove the PLUG again or select the option to reformat the PLUG. In terms of the PLUG, devices work in two modes:
Without PLUG
The device stores the configuration in internal memory. This mode is active when no PLUG is inserted.
With PLUG
The configuration stored on the PLUG is displayed in WBM in "Information > PLUG". If changes are made to the configuration, the device stores the configuration directly on the PLUG and in the internal memory. This mode is active as soon as a PLUG is inserted. As soon as the device is started with a PLUG inserted, the device starts up with the configuration data on the PLUG.
License information on the KEY-PLUG
In addition to the configuration, the KEY-PLUG also contains a license that allows the use of Siemens Remote Services.

3.4 Grounding

3.4 Grounding
EMC disturbances are diverted to ground via ground. This increases the immunity of the data transmission.
It is crucial for the correct operation of ground that the connection to the reference potential surface always has low impedance. Such a connection of the functional ground of the device does not go first through the cable channel and then to the mounting plate or DIN rail terminal, but goes directly to the mounting plate or DIN rail terminal.
The RUGGEDCOM RM1224 has a terminal for grounding, refer to the section "Power supply (Page 28)".
The terminal is identified by the following symbol for the grounding.
1. Connect the terminal of the device with as short a cable as possible ≤ 150 mm and a
large cross-sectional area ≥ 2.5 mm² to the functional ground of the system. In many
cases, the entire metallic construction of the system serves as ground.
2. Also connect the standard rails of a system with ground.
Protective earth/functional ground
The connection of the reference potential surface with the protective earth system is normally in the cabinet close to the power feed-in. This earth conducts fault currents to ground safely and according to DIN/VDE 0100 is a protective earth to protect people, animals and property from too high contact voltages.
Apart from the protective earth, there is functional grounding in the cabinet. According to EN60204-1 (DIN/VDE 0113 T1) electrical circuits must be grounded. The chassis (0 V) is

3.5 Digital input/output

grounded at one defined point. Here, once again the grounding is implemented with the lowest leakage resistance to ground in the vicinity of the power feed-in.
With automation components, functional ground also ensures interference-free operation of a controller. Via the functional ground, interference currents coupled in via the connecting cables are discharged to ground.
In terms of the large-area and low impedance implementation, a functional ground set up for this purpose generally also meets the requirements of protective earth. On the other hand, protective earth does not always meet the requirements of functional ground. In general while the connection for protective earth is always low resistance, it is not necessarily low impedance.
The resistance of a connection for protective earth must always be as small as possible to divert fault currents safely to ground. The length of a protective earth cable can therefore be several meters (m) long, without seriously impairing this effect. For a functional ground for diverting HF disturbances, this cable does however have impedance and is therefore not suitable.
3.5 Digital input/output
The digital input/output (relay contact) is a floating switch with which error/fault states can be signaled by breaking the contact.
CAUTION Damage due to voltage being too high or too low The voltage at the digital input/output must not exceed 30 VDC and not fall below -30 VDC,
otherwise the digital input/output will be destroyed.

The antenna socket for connecting the antenna is of the type SMA. The antenna used should have an impedance of about 50 ohms.
CAUTION Minimum clearance to the device The device may only be operated when the distance between the device (or antenna) and
user is at least 20 cm.
Notes on lightning protection
WARNING Danger due to lightning strikes Antennas installed outdoors must be within the area covered by a lightning protection
system. Make sure that all conducting systems entering from outdoors are protected by lightning protection electrical bonding.
Connecting up
3.6 Antennas
When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the requirements of the VDE 0182 or IEC 62305 standards.
Suitable lightning protectors are available in the range of accessories of RUGGEDCOM. For more information, contact Siemens Customer Support.
Depending on the connector, an adapter cable is required to connect to SMA.
WARNING Danger due to lightning strikes Installing this lightning protector between an antenna and a RUGGEDCOM RM1224 is not
adequate protection against a lightning strike. Most lightening protectors only works within the framework of a comprehensive lightning protection concept. If you have questions, ask a qualified specialist company.

Frequency bands in Europe, China, the USA and other regions
Depending on the frequency bands used by your mobile wireless provider, antennas must be tuned to the following frequencies:
In Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia: – GSM 900 MHz – DCS 1800 MHz – UMTS 2100 MHz – LTE 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz depending on the provider
In the USA: – LTE 700 MHz, 1900 MHz – PCS 1900 MHz (also for UMTS)
In Korea: – UMTS 2100 MHz
Check with your mobile wireless provider for the suitable frequencies.
Signal quality
During installation make sure that there is a good signal strength of > -73 dBm. If the "Q" LED is lit permanently, the signal quality is good. For more detailed information,
refer to the section "LED display (Page Error! Bookmark not defined.)". Avoid large metal objects in the immediate vicinity.

3.8 Inserting and removing the PLUG
NOTICE Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation! A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether or not a PLUG is present at one second intervals. If it is detected that the PLUG was removed, there is a restart. If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted in the device, the device changes to a defined error state following the restart. With RUGGEDCOM RM1224, the wireless interface is deactivated in this case.
Inserting the PLUG
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. The housing of the PLUG has a protruding ridge on the long side. The slot has a groove at this position. Insert the PLUG correctly oriented into the slot.
