Installing the SIM Card
All GX Series gateways except the GX400 for Sprint and Verizon networks require
a SIM card. If the SIM card has not already been installed by your Mobile Network
Operator, install the SIM card before installing or connecting any external
equipment or power to the AirLink gateway.
To install a SIM card, you need:
•
SIM card for your account (provided by your Mobile Network Operator)
•
2 mm Allen (hex) wrench or a Phillips #1 screwdriver, depending on the screw
type used on the black decorative cover
•
If your GX Series gateway has a Serial I/O X-Card installed:
· Small adjustable torque wrench
· 4 mm nut driver or socket that works with the torque wrench
•
If your GX Series gateway has a Wi-Fi X-Card installed:
· Small adjustable torque wrench
· 8 mm socket—long enough to fit over the SMA antenna connector
The procedure for installing a SIM card varies depending on whether or not the
GX Series gateway has an X-Card installed, and if so, the type of X-Card present.
Follow the appropriate instructions for your gateway:
•
Installing the SIM Card—No X-Card present
•
Installing the SIM Card—Wi-Fi X-Card present
•
Installing the SIM Card—I/O X-Card present
•
Installing the SIM Card—Dual Ethernet X-Card present
