Before You Begin

Because the IG21, IG21R and IG31R are radio devices, they are susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

•  Review the FCC guidelines for installing and operating outdoor wireless LAN devices at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/3200-series-rugged-integrated-services-routers-isr/data_sheet_c78-647116 .html
• Perform a site survey before beginning the installation.
•  Install the IG21, IG21R, and IG31R in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the devices.

IG21, IG21R and IG31R Part Numbers

The IG21 is a gateway that connects Smart Devices and Sensors to a Customer Network or Cloud applications.

DIN Rail Mounting Instructions for IG21, IG21R and IG31R

The DIN Rail Mounting Kit supports either a horizontal or vertical mounting of the IG21. To attach the DIN Rail Bracket to the IG21, follow the steps noted below:

1.  Position the DIN Rail Bracket over the two mounting holes as shown in Figure 1.
2. Attach the DIN Rail Bracket to the back of the IG21 using the two screws provided using a torque of 13-15 inch-pound. The screw thread diameter is 3.0 mm, the screw head diameter is 5.5 mm, and the screw length is 7.0 mm.

Mounting Kit Contents

• Adapter plate  [part number: pending]
• DIN Rail Bracket  [part number: pending]
• Screws

Note:
All of the screws noted throughout this guide, will be shipped with the mounting kits.

Attaching the Adapter Plate for IG21R and IG31R
To attach the Adapter Plate to the IG21R or IG31R, follow the steps noted below:

1. Position the Adapter Plate over the four mounting holes as shown in Figure 2.
2.  Attach the Adapter plate to the back of the IG21R or IG31R using the four screws provided using 13-15 inch-pound of torque. The screw thread diameter is 4.0 mm, the screw head diameter is 8.0mm, and the screw length is 4.7 mm.You are now ready to attach the DIN rail bracket to support either a Vertical or Horizontal mounting of the IG21R or IG31R. Refer to the appropriate section noted below:

•  Attaching the DIN Rail Bracket to Support Vertical Mounting, page 5
•  Attaching the DIN Rail Bracket to Support Horizontal Mounting, page 6

Attaching the DIN Rail Bracket to Support Vertical Mounting

After you attach the DIN Rail (as shown in Figure 3), do the following:

1.  Position the bracket over the four mounting holes as shown in Figure 3.
2.  Attach the Adapter plate to the back of the IG21R or IG31R using the four screws provided and applying 13-15 inch-pound torque. The screw thread diameter is 4.0 mm, the screw head diameter is 8.0 mm, and the screw length is 4.7 mm.
3. Attach the Din Rail Bracket using two screws as shown in Figure 3. The screw thread diameter is 3.0 mm, the screw head diameter is 5.5 mm, and the screw length is 7.0 mm.

Attaching the DIN Rail Bracket to Support Horizontal Mounting
After you attach the Adapter plate as detailed in the Attaching the Adapter Plate for IG21R and IG31R, page 4 section and shown in Figure 4, do the following:

1.  Position the DIN rail bracket over the four mounting holes as shown in the left illustration in Figure 4. You will attach the bracket using only the two horizontal holes.
2. Attach the Adapter plate by using the two screws (13-15 torque) supplied and apply 13-15 inch-pound torque to tighten the plate to the router. The screw thread diameter is 3.0 mm, the screw head diameter is 5.5 mm, and the screw length is 7.0 mm.

Mounting the Router on a Wall Using Mounting Brackets
The IG21, IG21R or IG31R can be mounted on a wall using the two molded brackets and screws shipped with the router. These brackets are attached to the bottom of the router (Figure 5 and Figure 6).The screw thread diameter is 4.0 mm, the screw head diameter is 8.0 mm, and the screw length is 4.7 mm.

CAUTION:
If you are mounting the router on drywall, use four hollow wall anchors to secure the unit to the wall using the four screws included in the kit.

1. Measure the horizontal distance between the two sets of holes on the mounting brackets and the vertical height of the router to determine placement on the wall. Mark the location of on the wall where the mounting screws will be anchored.
2.  Use a drill bit that matches the size of the hollow wall anchors and screw.
3. Attach the IG21 to the wall ensuring the front panel as seen in Figure 10 faces upward.

Day Zero Default Configuration
By default, the radio of the IG21 is turned on. The radio automatically scans to identify and select the least utilized frequency channels.

IIG Wall Mounting Bracket

Mounting the Router on a Wall Using Two KeyHoles

CAUTION:
If you are mounting the router on drywall, use two hollow wall anchors to secure the unit to the wall using the two screws included in the kit.

1.  The distance between the two hollow wall anchors should be 120 mm to match the distance between the two keyholes on the back of the router. (Figure 7).
2.  Reserve a minimum of 4.5 mm distance between the screw heads and the wall (Figure 8). The screw head diameter is 9.8 mm, the screw head thickness is 1.5 mm, the screw thread diameter is 4.0 mm and the screw length is 16.0 mm.

Measurements for Attaching Two Screw for Keyhole Mounting to Wall

To attach the router to the wall, place the two keyholes on the back of the unit over the two screws mounted on the wall. Then, pull the router downward so that the router hangs from the screws (Figure 9).
