Figure 3-22. Steps for Inserting the SIM Card
NOTE The insertion example above shows the default SIM slot (Slot A). Units equipped with multiple
SIM ports will label the upper slot SIM B and the lower slot SIM A.
NOTE Dual SIM functionality is a selective order-entry feature. Default units are shipped with only
SIM-A enabled; SIM-B is not supported.
Configuring
A Connection Profile must be configured for the unit to establish a data connection with the cellular
network. A connection profile allows the user to configure various parameters related to the cellular
connection. One or more connection profiles can be configured on the unit. The order of the connection
profiles can be chosen by the user. The unit will use the first connection profile to establish connection
with the cellular network. If connection profile switching (described later) is enabled, then the unit will
switch to second profile in the list if it is unable to establish a connection using the first profile after a
configurable, specified timeout.
An Orbit MCR equipped with a Verizon 4G LTE modem is shipped out of the factory with the cellular
interface enabled and a connection profile (named PROFILE-1) configured to connect with Verizon's
Internet Packet Data Network (PDN).
An Orbit MCR equipped with a 3G GSM modem is shipped out of the factory with the cellular interface
disabled. The user will need to create a connection profile with the cellular network specific parameters
prior to enabling the interface to allow unit to connect to the network.
