What does the VR624 offer?
The VR624 is a 5G + Wi-Fi 6 vehicle router built for mobile multi-field deployments — public transit, heavy machinery, law enforcement, emergency response, and sanitation fleets. Highlights:
| — | — |
| Cellular | 5G NR (NSA/SA), downlink up to 3.4 Gbps; 4G/3G fallback |
| Wi-Fi | Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), dual-band 2.4 + 5 GHz, up to 3000 Mbps, WPA3 |
| Ethernet | 4× M12 X-code GbE — vibration- and corrosion-resistant aviation connectors |
| GNSS | GPS, BDS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS; <1.5 m CEP50, 10 Hz update |
| SIM | Dual nano-SIM (one drawer slot) + optional embedded eSIM |
| I/O | 1× RS232 (15 kV ESD); 2× DI (ignition detection + low-battery detection) |
| Security | TPM 2.0; IPSec / L2TP / OpenVPN / WireGuard VPN; 802.1X port authentication |
| Power | DC 9–48 V; over-current protection; ignition-detect shutdown; low-voltage sleep/wake control |
| Form factor | 177 × 144.25 × 43 mm metal housing, fanless, IP30, wall-mount, −30 to +70 °C |
| Cloud | InHand DeviceLive — auto-enrolls once online |
Two cellular SKUs (both global): VR624-GLNR (5G NR NSA + SA) and VR624-GLC6 (4G LTE Cat 6).
Target applications per the datasheet: public transport (buses, coaches), heavy equipment (trucks, excavators, cranes), autonomous and patrol vehicles, law-enforcement and fire trucks, ambulances, and sanitation vehicles.
How do I install the VR624 in a vehicle?
- Mount the VR624 to the vehicle wall using its mounting brackets. Connect the grounding cable to the device’s grounding post — loosen the nut, insert the ring terminal, retighten.
- Connect antennas to the SMA / RP-SMA connectors: 4× SMA for 5G (or 2× SMA for the 4G SKU), 2× RP-SMA for Wi-Fi 2.4 + 5 GHz, 1× SMA for GNSS.
- Wire the 8-pin power cable (
SCAB000637) into the vehicle harness:
- V+ to switched or constant battery (DC 9–48 V)
- V− and GND to chassis ground
- IGT to the ignition-controlled circuit (the VR624 starts and shuts down based on this signal)
- RS232 and DI pins to your serial / digital-input devices as needed
- Insert the SIM card(s) in the drawer slot (dual nano-SIM, 1.8 V / 3 V).
- Connect Ethernet from any of the 4× M12 X-code ports to a computer using an M12-to-RJ45 cable (
AETH050002). Set the PC adapter to DHCP or a static IP in192.168.2.2–254. - Open a browser to
http://192.168.2.1and log in with the credentials printed on the device nameplate. Accept the security warning if shown (Advanced → Proceed).
Verify boot via the System LED: solid red during start-up, then blink green when the OS is running normally.
How do I connect the VR624 to cellular and set the APN?
With the device powered off, insert the SIM card(s). Apply power via the IGT-asserted ignition line — the VR624 auto-detects the carrier and applies the matching APN in most cases, so no manual setup is needed. If the cellular link does not come up, log in, go to Internet > Cellular, edit the SIM profile to enter the APN per your carrier’s requirements, and save. For dual-SIM failover, configure both profiles and set the link priority. Verify by checking the Cellular LED (blink green = connecting, solid green = connected) and the Signal LED (red / yellow / green = poor / medium / good).
How do I configure vehicle power management on the VR624?
Vehicle deployments share power with the battery, so the VR624 includes ignition-aware shutdown and low-voltage protection. Configure at Services > Power Management:
| Setting | Behavior |
| — | — |
| Sleep Voltage | Input voltage threshold (in 100 mV units) at which the router enters low-power sleep — e.g., 90 = 9.0 V. Protects the battery from deep discharge when the vehicle is parked. |
| Power-on Voltage | Threshold (in 100 mV units) at which the router wakes from sleep — e.g., 105 = 10.5 V. Should be set above Sleep Voltage to avoid oscillation. |
| Low-Voltage Shutdown Delay | Seconds to wait after a low-voltage condition is detected before shutting down. Filters out transient dips during cranking. |
| Ignition Shutdown Delay | Seconds the router stays online after the ignition signal is removed. Allows graceful teardown of cellular sessions and final data upload. |
| ITxPT | Enable for ITxPT-compliant in-vehicle power and data management on public-transport deployments. |
The ignition signal is read on the dedicated IGT pin of the 8-pin power cable ( SCAB000637 ) — make sure this pin is wired to the vehicle’s ignition-switched circuit, not to constant battery power, or the router will never enter sleep.
