Here is the info on AC power arrangement 

http://www.oempanels.com/what-does-single-and-three-phase-power-mean 

The CCR specs show it having : 
Dual power supplies for redundancy, 110-250V input, IEC connectors 

which means that, you can use either 110 or 220 or 240 on the same power 
supply. 
All you would have to do is match the power cables...

 Cloud core. There is a difference between having a hot (80-250v), a neutral
 and a ground, vs. a neutral and two 120v hots. I believe the router can
 handle more than 120v but not in the sense that its being delivered on two
 120v legs with a neutral and no ground. Its a 3 prong twist lock type
 receptacle. If there is a way I'd like to be educated (aside from pulling
 one of the hots and hooking the neutral to ground as well on my new non-code
 engineered power cable. Educate me.
 I think I'm just going to plug it into the normal 120v 20amp plug on the wall
 behind the rack though, seems like the best way forward considering the
 options I was just trying to accommodate the customers request prior to plan
 B.

Set your device for 220-240VAC  Many devices have a switch on the power 
supply for this.  Some devices simply have an input range of 100-250VAC.

Tie your device hot to leg 1
Tie your device neutral to leg 2
Tie your device ground to the neutral/ground of the power outlet.

Can you post a picture of the outlet and of the power cord recptical on

While this should work in theory you cannot assume that
neutral and ground are the same. The farther you get from the service
the greater the possibility that neutral varies from ground, and if
you have a corroded junction somewhere between your location and the bonding 
point
you can have significant voltage on neutral. Just try and make digital
equipment work if your feed 5-10 volts AC in on the ground.

To do this properly requires an isolation transformer to separately derive the 
source and
a new bonding point or better yet a four wire source pigtail where neutral and 
ground are
separately presented on the plug. (Be careful about over current protection.)

I've had to do this in a remote locations with 240 V generator.
I used a one-to-one isolation transformer with a center tap. The primary is 
connected to
the two hot legs. The secondary center tap is bonded to earth ground and both 
neutral
and ground originate at that point. 110 is present on either end of the 
secondary relative
to the center tap.
The whole thing has to go to a fuse/breaker box for protection. All in all if 
there is
service anywhere close it's easier and cheaper to hire an electrician to drop a 
110
receptacle close by. Fires and/or electrocuted kids/pets are a PR problem of 
the first order.

 Cloud core.  There is a difference between having a hot (80-250v),
 a neutral and a ground, vs. a neutral and two 120v hots.  I
 believe the router can handle more than 120v but not in the sense
 that its being delivered on two 120v legs with a neutral and no
 ground.  Its a 3 prong twist lock type receptacle.  If there is a
 way I'd like to be educated (aside from pulling one of the hots
 and hooking the neutral to ground as well on my new non-code
 engineered power cable.  Educate me.
 I think I'm just going to plug it into the normal 120v 20amp plug
 on the wall behind the rack though, seems like the best way
 forward considering the options I was just trying to accommodate
 the customers request prior to plan B.

I've never had a problem doing this.  While I see the theoretical issues 
you state, in practice it works.

The issue you are describing is caused by a defective outlet or wiring 
job.   While it happens, it is no more or less likely than your 117VAC 
outlet having the same issue with it's ground.   If you assume every 
outlet is defective, then you will need isolation transformers everywhere...

US 3 prong 240VAC outlets are wired as hot/hot/neutral with a strap on 
the device grounding the chassis metal to the neutral as a ground.  This 
was standard.  In most areas, new 240VAC outlets are wired as 4 prong 
hot/hot/neutral/ground and new devices are wired with a 4 prong cord. 
Most devices can have a 3 prong cord installed by following the device 
instructions.

 Set your device for 220-240VAC  Many devices have a switch on the
 power supply for this.  Some devices simply have an input range of
 100-250VAC.
 Tie your device hot to leg 1
 Tie your device neutral to leg 2
 Tie your device ground to the neutral/ground of the power outlet.

 Can you post a picture of the outlet and of the power cord recptical
 on your device?


 While this should work in theory you cannot assume that
 neutral and ground are the same. The farther you get from the service
 the greater the possibility that neutral varies from ground, and if
 you have a corroded junction somewhere between your location and the
 bonding point
 you can have significant voltage on neutral. Just try and make digital
 equipment work if your feed 5-10 volts AC in on the ground.

 To do this properly requires an isolation transformer to separately
 derive the source and
 a new bonding point or better yet a four wire source pigtail where
 neutral and ground are
 separately presented on the plug. (Be careful about over current
 protection.)

 I've had to do this in a remote locations with 240 V generator.
 I used a one-to-one isolation transformer with a center tap. The
 primary is connected to
 the two hot legs. The secondary center tap is bonded to earth ground
 and both neutral
 and ground originate at that point. 110 is present on either end of
 the secondary relative
 to the center tap.
 The whole thing has to go to a fuse/breaker box for protection. All in
 all if there is
 service anywhere close it's easier and cheaper to hire an electrician
 to drop a 110
 receptacle close by. Fires and/or electrocuted kids/pets are a PR
 problem of the first order.

 The CCR specs show it having :

Tim, 

In most cases you can split the hot leads on the 240v outlet into two 120v 
circuits. There are adapter pigtails for this if you don't want to hardware it. 

From memory, our local hardware store sells these (in the US).

 I would think something like this might be the safer option:

 That said I'm not an electrician and I think that question might be best
 answered by one.

 I need to place a 120v normal 1U router in a rack that only has 240v
 twist lock receptacles available for power.  I need to put a UPS there so I
 just looked for a 240v UPS with the right plugs but because they are made
 for a lot larger load they were way bigger (and more expensive) than what I
 was looking for.  SO...  anyone have a better way to do this?  I have
 considered taking one leg and bonding the neutral and ground, but.

 Thanks
