Connect the hardware
1. The XBee Smart Modem should already be plugged into the XBIB-U-DEV board.
2. The SIMcard should already be inserted into the XBee Smart Modem. If not, install the
SIMcard into the XBee Smart Modem before attaching the XBee device to the board.
WARNING! Never insert or remove the SIM card while the device is powered!
Note The SIM cards in XBee3 Cellular LTE-M Global Smart Modem kits do not support SMS.
3. Connect the antennas to the XBee Smart Modem by aligning the U.FL connectors carefully,
then firmly pressing straight down to seat the connector. You should hear a snap when the
antenna attaches correctly. U.FL is fragile and is not designed for multiple insertions, so
exercise caution when connecting or removing the antennas. We recommend using a U.FL
removal tool.
4. Plug the 12 V power supply to the power jack on the development board.
