2. Contact your cellular provider (carrier) and request a data
account. For CDMA models (RAM/SN-66xx), give the ESN
number of the router to the carrier to activate the data account.
For GSM and HSPA models (RAM/SN-64xx, RAM/SN-68xx,
RAM/SN-67xx and RAM/SN-69xx) the carrier should provide
you with a SIM card to insert into the router, along with the
APN, username and password for data connectivity.
3. Insert the SIM card (GSM, HSPA and LTE models):
• Locate the SIM card slot on the right side of the unit.
• Insert the SIM card with its cut side facing for-
ward and on the left.
• Using the tip of a pen push the SIM card in until
it clicks.
4. An antenna with an SMA-M connector should be connected to
the router. This antenna should meet the specifications listed
below. Also see the Hardware Guide for more information on
antennas.
• 3G: Dual-band 800 & 1900 MHz
• LTE: 700 MHz
• Nominal 50 ohm impedance
• Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) less than 2.5:1
5. Supply power to the router using one of the four available
methods.
• 4-pin Molex connector - available on RAM-6x00
• 4-pin screw terminal - available on RAM-6xx1/EB
Label Description
GND Ground
PWR+ Power 8 to 30 VDC (12 or 24 VDC nominal)
IN Digital and analog input
OUT Digital output
• Side mounted 2.5mm barrel connector - all models.
• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) IEEE802.3af - available on
RAM-6x01EB

and 30 VDC to operate
6. Please allow 2-4 minutes for the unit to recognize the cellular
data card and connect to the cellular network. When this has
occurred, the WAN LED should light up (see table on back).

3. Upon successfully logging in you will see the following screen
Verify Cellular Connectivity
Confirm the following on the GUI after logging into the unit:
Activation: “Succeeded” or “Unavailable”
Connection: “Enabled”
IP Address: Populated with a network IP address
Signal Strength has GREEN bars populated. If you see any RED
bars represented under the Signal Strength graphics, please
consult the Software Manual. Ethernet (Eth0) should show “Up”
and show the network issued IP address.
Note: If “Unavailable” and connection “Unknown” browse to
the StatusEZ Config Wizard or Network Tab Cellular
Connection Configuration and input the APN field. EVDO
models will automatically try to activate on a periodic basis.
If you are able to confirm this status, then your unit is
successfully connected to the cellular network
