3. Product Description
3.1. Product Description
The Ibex-RT-330 is an EN50155 LTE router, developed for demanding industrial and railway applications. It makes full use of the 3G and 4G cellular networks.
The device utilizes a high performance GNSS receiver with concurrent reception of up to 3 GNSS signals from GPS, Galileo, GLONASS or BeiDou systems.
Figure 3. Ibex-RT-330 block diagram: The diagram shows a block representation of the Ibex-RT-330 router. Key components include Power Supply, LTE 4G module, CPU, GNSS receiver, and two Gigabit Ethernet ports (X1, X2). Antenna ports (A1, A2, A3) are also indicated.
The Westermo configuration management tool, WeConfig, can be used for discovery and basic configuration and maintenance. The configuration can be done via SNMP or via WebGUI. The status information is available in local LED status indicators, and through SNMP/WebGUI.
The Mobile Communication Gateway router is designed to withstand tough onboard environmental conditions and can be remotely managed using web browser or SNMP management tools.
Integrating hardware, software and network design support tools, this router platform offers advanced capabilities, the lowest total cost of ownership and will create the most reliable and resilient networks.
The router is engineered to maintain uninterrupted data communication, even in exceptionally harsh environments. Tested and certified to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks, these routers only use industrial grade components which contributes towards a market leading mean time between failure (MTBF), maximized service life, and reduced operational and life cycle costs.

[i] NOTE For indoor installation, consider additional protection against dust to ensure proper heat dissipation.
[i] NOTE For outdoor installation, consider additional protection against sun radiation, dust and dirt to optimize ambient temperature range.
[i] NOTE Unused connectors must be covered by a protective cap (delivered with the product), tightened to the specified torque in order to fulfill the specified ingress protection code.
4.2. Factory Reset
To reset the product into factory default settings, a reset adapter is needed which is plugged into one of the Ethernet ports X1 or X2 during startup.
| Art. no. | Description |
|---|---|
| 3623-0799 | Factory Reset Plug, X-coded |
Factory reset procedure
- Plug the factory reset adapter to one of the Ethernet interfaces.
- Power the product.
- Wait until factory reset adapter is detected. This is indicated by solid ORANGE OPR LED and RED ERR LED.
- Remove factory reset adapter within 15 seconds.
- Successful initiation of the factory reset is indicated by blinking ORANGE OPR LED and RED ERR LED.
4.3. Earth connection
For correct function, the earth connection at the grounding point needs to be properly connected to a solid ground. An M5 grounding screw at the housing is used for grounding. A short wire with a cross section of at least 4 mm² shall be used. The grounding wire is set below the rip-lock washer. The nut is fixed for good reliable grounding contact. The tightening torque of the nut shall be 2.0 Nm.
Figure 11. Earth connection: Shows the grounding point on the rear of the unit.
[!] NOTICE Do not use equipment without protective earth connection.
4.4. Connection of Cables
Recommended tightening torque for the M12 connectors is 0.6 Nm. All M12 connections are screw connections.
When connecting the power cable, ensure that the pins are connected correctly before tightening the power cable to the unit.
[i] NOTE This product has no replaceable fuse and should be connected via an external fuse for protection.
4.5. Cooling
This product uses convection cooling. Make sure that it is installed so that the ambient temperature is within the specified temperature range, e.g. by avoiding obstruction of the airflow around the product.
It is recommended to install the product in areas where the natural convection airflow is not blocked and that there is enough spacing around the product.
Figure 12. Installation with reduced natural convection airflow: Illustrates airflow obstruction.
Figure 13. Installation with natural convection airflow: Illustrates proper airflow.
When operating the product at high ambient temperatures, it is recommended to mount the product to a metallic base plate to improve the heat dissipation. The base plate increases the surface to spread the heat.
Figure 14. Improved heat transfer based on fixing plate and natural convection: Shows how a base plate aids heat dissipation.
[!] NOTICE Limited air flow is rising the product temperature and may lower the upper limit of the operating temperature range.
[!] NOTICE Temperature is dependent on the operational parameters, like RF output power, amount of traffic.
[!] NOTICE This product has integrated temperature sensors for monitoring the internal device temperatures. If temperature limits are exceeded, alarms are sent through the SW interface.
[!] NOTICE The operating conditions shall be ensured so that the normal operation does not cause temperature alarms. Improve installation conditions or RF parameters in case of any temperature alarms.
4.6. Replacement of Product
Disconnect all cables and unscrew the product from the wall. Mount the replacement product and reconnect all cables, observing the instructions in Connection of Cables. MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), i.e. time for replacement of product is: < 10 minutes.
[!] CAUTION - HOT SURFACE Be aware that the surface of this product may become hot. When it is operated at high temperatures, the external surface may exceed Touch Temperature Limit according to the product's relevant electrical safety standard. This product complies with Touch Temperature Limits throughout its operational temperature range.
