Introduction Peplink has developed a unique technology called RemoteSIM, which allows SIM cards to remotely link to a cellular router. This can be done via cloud or within the same physical network. There are a few key scenarios to fit certain applications.
Scenario 1: SIM Injector in LAN of Cellular Router Setup topology This is the most basic scenario in which the SIM Injector is connected directly to the cellular router’s LAN port via an ethernet cable. This allows for the cellular router to be positioned for the best possible signal.
Configuring the Cellular Router Step 1. Enable the SIM Injector communication protocol. 1a. If you are using a Balance cellular router, go to the Network tab (top navigation bar). 1b. If you are using a MAX cellular router, go to the Advanced tab (top navigation bar). 2.

4. Enter configuration settings in the Remote SIM Settings section. Click on Scan nearby remote SIM server to show the serial number(s) of the connected SIM Injector(s). Available configuration options for cellular interface are shown below: A. Defining SIM Injector(s) - Format: <S/N>...
In this scenario, each HD Dome creates a WAN connection to the main router. A single SIM Injector is used to provide SIM cards for each HD Dome. The HD Dome can be replaced with any Peplink cellular router supporting RemoteSIM technology. This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps shown in Scenario 1 in...
Additional configurations for Cellular Routers Step 1. Disable the DHCP server. - HD Dome 1 should act as a DHCP server. - HD Dome 2 should be configured to have a static IP address with DHCP disabled. - Both routers should be in the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.50.1 and 192.168.50.2). 1.
3. Click Save and Apply Changes. 4. Go to Network (Top tab), then Port Settings (Left-side tab). 5. Set the Port Type to Access and set VLAN to Untagged LAN (see picture below). 6. Click Save and Apply Changes. Configuration requirements for the main Router Requirements for the main router are: Configure WAN 1 as a DHCP client.
Scenario 3: SIM Injector in LAN of main Router and multiple Cellular Routers Setup topology In this scenario, SIMs are provided to the HD Domes via the main router. In this example, the Remote SIM Proxy functionality needs to be enabled on the main router.
IMPORTANT: Main router LAN side and Cellular Routers must be configured using different subnets, e.g. 192.168.50.1/24 and 192.168.100.1/24. Note: please make sure the Peplink router is running Firmware 8.1.0 or above. 1. Open the main router WEB interface and change: From <IP address>/cgi-bin/MANGA/index.cgi to <IP address>/cgi-bin/MANGA/support.cgi.
Scenario 4: SIM Injector in a remote location Setup topology Requirements for installing a SIM Injector in a remote location: ● Cellular router communicates with the SIM Injector via UDP port 50000. Therefore this port must be reachable via public IP over the Internet. ●...

2. Under Misc. settings (Left-side tab), find Remote SIM Management. 3. In Remote SIM Management, click on the edit icon next to Remote SIM is Disabled. 4. Enter the public IP of the SIM Injector and click Save and Apply Changes. Notes: Do NOT check Auto LAN Discovery.
How to check if a Peplink Cellular Router supports RemoteSIM 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on any cellular WAN. This will open the WAN Connection Settings page. 2. Scroll down to Cellular settings.
