1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the SIM card cover.
2. Slide the SIM cards into the SIM card slots until they click into place.
By default, the SIM card in slot 1 (the upper slot) is the Primary SIM card. When the RV55 is
powered on or reboots, it automatically connects to the network associated with the Primary
SIM card.
3. Re-attach the cover.
NOTE: Remote ACEmanager access is disabled by default for security. If required, enable it remotely using ALMS or locally using ACEmanager (Services >
ACEmanager) and change the default password (Admin > Change Password).
1. Connect Cellular, Diversity and
GNSS antennas (if applicable).
4. Connect a Windows
®
computer to the router with an
Ethernet cable. If required by your application, connect
the RS-232 port and / or the USB port.
3. Connect 9 – 36 VDC.
To operate the router between 7 – 36 V,
after startup, launch ACEmanager, go to
Services > Power Management, and adjust
the low voltage standby settings.
NOTE: If you want to configure all your routers at the same time using AirLink Management Service, follow the instructions on page 2 to
register your routers before applying power.
2. Connect the Dual Wi-Fi antennas
(if applicable).
Sierra Wireless strongly recommends that you always ground the chassis using the unpainted mounting hole. For more information, refer to the
RV55 Hardware User Guide.
