Inserting the SIM cards

Use only mini-SIM (2FF) cards.
Ensure the power is disconnected before you insert the SIM card/s.

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw from the panel covering the SIM slots. Gently pry the SIM cover loose from the opening (see below).
2. Align the SIM card so that the SIM card will slide into the top slot (slot#1) ensuring that the SIM card connectors will be facing the router’s printed circuit board. Always populate slot#1 first. Add a second SIM card if your network setup requires it.
3. Align the SIM cover plate and secure the plate with the screw.

Connecting the Antennas

1. Connect your cellular antenna to connector Main.
2. Connect the diversity antenna to connector Diversity.
3. Connect your GPS antenna to connector GNSS

Connecting the Power

The Power plug has two power connections (P1 and P2), one relay (R) and one digital input (IN) connection. The unit can be powered with one or two power sources. When two sources are used, one acts as a backup for the other.

Connecting to the Cellular Network

When the router is powered on, it begins the process of activation and attempts to connect to the cellular network. This process typically takes a few minutes. A successful connection is indicated by a solid green WWAN LED.
Icon for WWAN LED.
If the WWAN LED does not go solid green, please consult the IRG5140+ Series Router Hardware Installation Guide for more information.

Fast Setup Mode

Fast Setup provides a simple method of doing an initial setup from a PC. Your router is shipped in factory default mode. When the router is in factory default mode, it will automatically power up in “Fast Setup” mode. The power LED will be flashing green when the router is in this mode.

1. Your PC must be set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP.

2. Plug the PC into any one of the router’s Ethernet ports.

3. Use a web browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 to access your router.
   On the setup screen, select, “Get Started”.

4. Fill in the required fields, apply changes to save and exit. The configuration changes will be immediately applied to the router

5. The router’s web configuration sign on screen will be displayed. Using the credentials, you previously defined in Step 4, you can now access your router’s full configuration.
