NL1901ACV Enhanced Hybrid 4G LTE Gateway – User Guide
UG01063 v. 1.0 December 2018
Mobile Network
There are two principle objectives reasons for using the SIM functionality:
Establish and use a Mobile Network as your sole data connection supplying internet access via a mobile
broadband service. Depending on your mobile service, this option is potentially very expensive.
Or alternatively,
Set up a mobile network data connection as an optional fallback connection that will take over if the primary
data connection (ADSL, VDSL or Ethernet WAN) connection fails. In this case, when you set up your primary
data connection at the
PPoE/IPoE Information stage of the Quick Setup process you must select Enable
Mobile Broadband Backup and enter the mobile network’s details.
– The
card must be in the 2FF format.
Prerequisites
To use the mobile network as the primary WAN connection, ensure that you
have an active SIM card inserted into the gateway and that you have
attached the two 4G/LTE antennas to the back of the gateway.
If you do not have an SIM card inserted, power off the gateway, insert the
SIM card, then power it on again.
Attach the antennas by turning them in a clockwise direction in the antenna
sockets.
Unlock SIM
When inserting a new SIM, it will have to be unlocked using its PIN.
SIMs in the gateway may from time to time become locked. Check on the
Device Info – Summary page whether
the
Device Info for Cellular network displays PIN locked in the SIM info field.
If locked, unlock the SIM card going to
Advanced Setup > Mobile Broadband and click the Pin Manage button.
