Installing The Sim Card - Apollo VioNet 3000 series User Manual And Instruction Manual

3.3

Installing the SIM Card

The VioNet Router has a Wireless WAN interface, which may require at least one SIM card inserted in the
device to operate.
There are determined services (CDMA) provided by some carriers in certain countries that do not require SIM
cards. In installations where a SIM card is required, at least one SIM card must be installed.
The VioNet Router has two SIM trays. Both are located inside the device. The VioNet Router can incorporate
one or two Wireless WAN modules.
In cases where it incorporates two modules, a SIM tray is automatically assigned to each module.
In devices where a single WWAN module is installed, when only one SIM card is going to be used, it can be
inserted into either of the two SIM trays. However the router must be suitably configured so it selects the
appropriate tray.
The ability to use two SIM trays allows for special configurations. One example of this type of configuration is
to install two SIMs where one acts as backup to the other. In order to execute this type of configuration, it is
essential that the router is configured to identify the tray to be associated to each SIM as each SIM requires
different configuration parameters.
NOTE: This device is compatible with SIMs of 1.8V and 3V. Do not install SIMs that do not support
these voltages.
Never install the SIM card when the device is switched on.
Always disconnect the device from the main power supply before inserting the internal SIM.
Always disconnect the device before removing the casing to get to the internal SIM.
When inserting the SIM card, protect against electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Do not touch the SIM card connectors.
To access the internal SIM open the upper casing of the device. Undo the four screws: two are
located on the upper corners at the front of the device and the other two on the upper corners at the
rear.
3.3.1 Identifying the SIM Trays
When there are two modules installed, the SIMs' tray assignment is set follows:

Module MD1  SIM #1

Module MD2  SIM #2
The location of the modules and the SIM trays are shown in the following figures:
