Compatibility
The GX GSM can be used with any of the
GX
Devices.
The GX GSM requires Venus OS v2.22 or newer to be installed on the GX Device.
When to use a mobile router instead
The GX GSM only provides an internet connection for the GX-device: there is no option to
share the internet to laptops, phones, or other devices.
For installations where more devices need internet, such as a yacht or RV, consider installing
a mobile router instead.

2. Installation

Mount the device and connect the antenna. Consider using the outdoor antenna when
installing the GX GSM in a closed metal enclosure.
Insert the SIM card. You will need to eject the SIM card tray with a pen or other pointy
object. Be aware that the SIM card tray sits slightly recessed inside the unit. Be sure to push
it all the way in.
Connect the GX GSM to the GX-device with the supplied USB cable. Use a USB hub if all USB
sockets are already in use.
Connect DC power supply (8 to 70 VDC). A 1.4M wire is included, with M10 lugs and an
inline fuse.
After power-up, the blue LED will be solid blue. Next, once it has registered on a network, it
will start blinking slowly. Finally, when it has established the internet connection, it will be
blinking fast.
