    • Does the “foot” ring on the box have a function or can it be removed.

    • Cooling is important, so as @POGO 1104 already said:

      Laying it on its side and thus covering the stamped cooling grilles is a no-go, but otherwise the position can be varied a little, for example turning it by 90 degrees so that the LAN ports are not facing backwards, but facing upwards.

      See the Swisscom example image for the control cabinet installation here:

      IB3 in the control cabinet

    The ring is only used for stability.

    For example, there is now an additional installation kit for the IB3 in a control cabinet, where, among other things, the ring must first be removed.

    you can.

    The ring also has the function of preventing the device from being placed horizontally.

    .....don't think of putting the router on its side!

    The situation is monitored (due to overheating) and there is an alarm.

    Sufficient cooling is only guaranteed in stationary operation
