EDGE router is a compact electronic device based on the module which enables data
transfers using GSM, GPRS and EDGE technologies.
Primarily, the router expands the capabilities of the module by the option of connecting
more PCs by means of the built-in Ethernet interface. In addition, the firmware of the router
provides automatic establishment and maintenance of GPRS connection. By means
of integration of a DHCP server it provides the users with simple installation and Internet
access.
In addition, the router is equipped with a USB 2.0 Host interface which is designed only
for connection to a USB device.
By customer request it is possible to equip the router with the PORT1 module, PORT2
module and extend the function of the EDGE router about RS232, RS485/RS422,
ETHERNET, M-BUSD or CNT (I/O module).
The EDGE router has two versions. The first version is basic ER75i v2 and the second
version is ER75i v2 SL in the aluminum box.
ER75i v2 Basic ER75i -5-v2 Basic version
ER75i v2 SL Basic ER75i -5-v2-SL Basic version in the aluminum box

The SIM card reader for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards is located on the front panel
of the router. To initiate the router into operation it is necessary to insert an activated SIM card
with unblocked PIN in the reader. The SIM cards might be of different adjusted APN (Access
Point Name).
2.5. Power Supply
The router requires +10 V DC to +30 V DC supply. Protection against reversed polarity
without signaling is built into the router.
data sending is 5.5W. For correct operation it is necessary that the power source is able
to supply a peak current of 500mA.
The power consumption during receiving is 1W. The peak power consumption during

Before putting the ER75i v2 or ER75i v2 SL router into operation it is necessary
to connect all components needed for the operation of your applications and the SIM card
must be inserted (the modem is off).
The modem is put into operation by connection of the power supply to the modem.
In the default setting the modem starts to login automatically to the preset APN. The behavior
of the modem can be modified by means of the web interface which is described
in the following chapter.
2.13. Mechanical external dimensions and mounting recommendations
•for single cables we recommend to bind the bunch according to the following picture,
for this use we recommend:
length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) can
be maximum 1,5 m, if the length of data cables exceeds 1,5 m
or in the event of, the cable leads towards the switch - board, we
recommend installing over - voltage protectors (surge suppressors),
with data cables they mustn't carry cables with reticular tension
~ 230 V/50 Hz,
all signals to sensors must be twisted pairs.
• sufficient space must be left before individual connectors for handling of cables,
• for correct function of the modem we recommend to use in the switch-board earth-
bonding distribution frame for grounding of power supply of modem, data cables
