What’s In The Box
• AirLink XR80 High Performance Multi-Network Router
• LPWA antenna
STEP 2: Install the SIM Cards
1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the SIM card cover.

(Note the position of the notched corners.)
• Internal cellular radio — Insert SIM in upper slot
• XP cellular radio — Insert SIM in lower slot
3. Re-attach the cover.
Note: The LPWA radio uses an embedded SIM with connectivity (included as part
of your XR Services) — no external SIM is required.
STEP 3: Connect and Power On the Router
• Locking DC power cable
• This Quick Start Guide for quick router configuration and connection
• XR Services guide to ALMS router registration and configuration
1. Connect color-coded cellular, Wi-Fi and GNSS FAKRA-connector
antennas to the back panel.
2. Connect the LPWA antenna to the LPWA radio connector on the
front panel.
3. Power on the XR80 by providing 7–36 VDC to the DC Power
connector (using the DC power cable or an optional XR Series AC
power adapter).
Once powered on, the router uses an available Internet connection
to connect to ALMS, completes its registration and applies any
preconfiguration done in STEP 1.
(The LPWA LED turns green and pulses to indicate activity.)
STEP 1: Register with AirLink Management Service (ALMS)
One year of access to ALMS is included in the router’s purchase price. Use ALMS to register, configure and monitor your router (or router fleet).
Refer to the included XR Services guide to create an ALMS account (if you do not have one), register your router and activate your subscription.
1. Follow the instructions in the XR Services guide to register and preconfigure your router.
Your router will automatically connect to ALMS the first time it powers on, then complete its registration and apply any preconfiguration.
