Chapter 4 – Installing the Router

Installing the SIM Card

If you want to operate the router on a particular network, install a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module).
To install the SIM:
1. Locate the SIM card slot on the side of the router. The slot is labeled SIM.
2. Push the SIM card into the slot until it snaps into place.
3. To remove the SIM, push the edge of the card in. When released, the card pops out of the device.

Installing the Router

1. To use the router's cellular features, connect a suitable antenna to the antenna connector.
2. If your device is capable of supporting antenna diversity, see the section about diversity.
3. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to the E-NET connector on the back of the router
and the other end to your computer, either directly or through a switch or hub.
4. If you are connecting to a serial interface, connect the DE-9 connector (9-pin) of the RS-232 cable to the
RS-232 connector on the router. Then connect the other end to the serial port on the desired device.
5. Some routers support the use of a GPS receiver. If you are using a GPS receiver with the router, attach
the GPS cable to the GPS connector on the router.
6. Attach a power cable to your power supply module.
7. Screw-on the power lead from the power supply module into the power connection on the router.
8. Plug the power supply into your power source.
The POWER LED lights after the device powers up.
When the Status LED begins to blink, the device is ready for use.
9. You can configure your router by using your router's web management interface. You might need to
change the IP address of your computer to be in the same IP and subnet mask range as the device.
