This document provides instructions for connecting a Sierra Wireless LX40 LTE Router to one of the following
Eaton connectivity cards:

PPrreerreeqquuiissiitteess
• Eaton UPS with a INDGW-M2, INDGW-X2, or Network-M2 card loaded with the latest firmware
• Environmental Monitoring Probe Gen 2
• PredictPulse LTE Modem Kit, part number P-154000455
NOTE The router contained in the PredictPulse LTE Modem Kit must be powered by a 120V
electrical outlet powered by the UPS. This ensures that the router is protected during a
power outage. If no UPS-protected outlet is available, a Universal Accessory Power
(UAP) kit is required. The UAP must be installed by an Eaton technician. Contact your
Eaton service representative for a quote.

The hot-swappable INDGW-M2 and INDGW-X2 cards (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) can be installed without
turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. To install the card:
1. Ensure that the UPS has logic power.
2. Remove the two screws securing the Minislot or X-slot cover and remove the cover from the UPS. Retain
the screws.
3. Remove the INDGW-M2 or INDGW-X2 card from its shipping package.
4. Slide the card into the open slot. Secure with the screws removed in Step 2.
5. Wait for the Warning LED (see Figure 1 or Figure 2) to flash only green to indicate that the card is
operational. The ON LED also flashes green when the card is ready.
