Introduction
The IC3000 Industrial Compute Gateway (IC3000) is an edge computing platform which extends the cloud computing paradigm to the edge of the network. Instead of hosting applications in a remote data center, applications can now be hosted on the edge itself. Imagine, if we can host specific applications in the field close to the sensors, meters or the things. whatever may be the IOT use case, IC3000 serves the purpose by allowing us to deploy applications that need more cores and memory.

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. |
The Cisco IC3000 Industrial Compute Gateway is fully supported by Cisco IoT Field Network Director for zero-touch deployment, lifecycle management, application management, monitoring, and troubleshooting securely at scale from a single pane of glass.
The IC3000 is a mid-range, low-power, fanless, edge server ruggedized for Industrial Applications. It is powered by a 4 core 1.2GHz Intel Rangeley CPU with 8 GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, and a 100GB mSATA drive (internal). For connectivity it supports 2x1GbE SFP and 2x10/100/1000Base-T with a management port.
This next section describes the phases you will need to follow for a successful installation.

Unboxing, Installing and Connecting to the IC3000 Device
Unboxing the IC3000
Complete details for the hardware installation of the product are covered in the Cisco IC3000 Industrial Compute Gateway Hardware Installation Guide . The following steps are a high level overview.
Installing the IC3000
- Review the general description of the unit in the Product Overview section of the hardware installation guide.
- Check the Equipment, Tools, and Connections section of the hardware installation guide to ensure you have everything you need for the installation.
- Review the procedures for Mounting, Grounding, Connecting to DC Power and Connecting to the IC3000 in the hardware installation guide.
- If you are installing the device in a Hazloc location, follow the printed instructions that came inside the box with the device.
- Power on the device.
Connecting the IC3000 to a PC
Procedure
Step 1 |
Connect a PC to the device. If your PC warns you that you do not have the proper drivers to communicate with the device, you can obtain them from your computers manufacturer or go to: https://software.cisco.com/download/home/282774227/type/282855122/release/3.1 |
Step 2 |
Determine how your computer mapped the new COM port that was created when you installed the USB-to-serial port driver. You need this information to appropriately configure your serial communications program in the next step. |
Step 3 |
Start your serial communications program and connect to the router. The console port settings to use for the serial connection are:
If the device is properly connected and powered up, you should see the ic3k> prompt. |
Step 4 |
Verify that your computer is properly connected to the device by checking the LEDs on the unit as described in the Hardware Installation Guide. |
