Hardware setup

Install SIM cards

To install SIM cards:
1. On the IX14 front panel, use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the SIM door.
2. If the IX14 device is used in an environment with high vibration levels, SIM card contact fretting
may cause unexpected SIM card failures. To protect the SIM cards, Digi strongly recommends
that you apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM contacts prior to installing the SIM
cards.
3. Insert the SIM card(s) into the SIM sockets. Position the SIM cards to match the diagram on
the device.
4. After all SIM cards are in place, use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to carefully replace the SIM
door.

Note The IX14 does not include a power supply or antennas. See
on IX14 power supplies and antennas.
Connect IX14-compatible antennas to the WWAN-1 and WWAN-2 antenna connectors on the
n
back of the device. Position the antennas for best reception.
