Product Line Positioning

Core Fixed Native Hardware Interfaces

WAN/LAN Ethernet Ports (Key PoE Differentiator vs IR8140H-K9)

• 1× 10/100/1000BASE-T auto-sensing RJ45 composite copper port: Integrated IEEE 802.3af PoE PSE with total 15.4W power budget for IP cameras, wireless sensors, WPAN mesh radios; PoE power takes priority over 12VDC external output when enabledCisco
• 1× 1000BASE-X SFP fiber slot for long-distance MPLS/DIA fiber backhaul, compatible with single-mode, multi-mode and copper SFP transceivers
  All Ethernet ports support auto-MDI/MDI-X, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN trunking, hardware QoS classification, MACsec link encryption and NAT offload acceleration.

Built-in Location & Auxiliary Terminals

• Embedded multi-constellation GPS/GNSS receiver (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou) for real-time asset geotracking, geo-fence security and remote site location logging
• 1× 12VDC external power output terminal (active only when PoE is disabled) to supply low-power external field transducers
• 2× isolated digital alarm input/output terminals for external equipment fault alerts, remote relay control and environmental sensor monitoring
• Waterproof sealed RJ45 serial console port for local out-of-band configuration, covered with gland plug for outdoor sealing
• Locked hardware reset button with waterproof gland cover for factory default recovery
