Setting up your FX3100

  NOTE: If necessary, remove the SIM from its protective sleeve, being careful not to touch the goldcolored contact points. Insert the SIM card notch first, with the contact points facing down.
  This device supports only Nano SIM cards.
  

2. Power on the FX3100
   • Plug the power cord into the router power port and plug the power adapter into an AC wall outlet.
     
     Be sure to use the power adapter that came with your device to avoid damage that may void the warranty.

• Follow instructions within the Inseego Mobile app to connect to the FX3100 and perform a location survey to identify the ideal location for your FX3100.
  NOTE: Once you have completed the location survey, you are prompted to set up a free Inseego Connect account that allows you to remotely monitor and configure your device from the Inseego Mobile app. After you create an account, you are asked to register your device using the current device password. Enter the current Admin password (the default Admin password is on the bottom label of the FX3100 but may have been changed upon purchase). Then restart the device.
