RAM® 9000 Models
LTE, HSPA, EVDO & WiFi
Unpacking Instructions
1. Unpack the Red Lion unit and verify the following components are enclosed in the package:
• Unit and Quick Start Guide.
• Power Supply, Antennas and accessories sold separately.
2. Contact your cellular provider (carrier) and request a data account. For EDVO models (RAM 96xx), give the
ESN number of the router to the carrier to activate the data account. For LTE models (RAM 97xx/99xx), the
carrier should provide you with a SIM card to insert into the router, along with the APN, username &
password for data connectivity.
3. Insert the SIM card:
• Locate the SIM card(s) & battery panel on the bottom of the RTU. Open panel by removing single screw.
• Insert the SIM card as shown on the silkscreen next to the slot.
• Push the SIM card in until it clicks. Close panel and secure with a single screw.
4. An antenna with an SMA-M connector should be connected to
the RTU directly or via a coaxial cable. This antenna should
meet the specifications listed below. Also see the Hardware
Manual 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. Power is supplied to the RTU via the 6-screw plug on the top.

6. Please allow 1-2 minutes for the unit to recognize the cellular
unit connected to the cellular network. When this has occurred
the Signal Strength LEDs should lit up (see table on back).
7. Connect to the Ethernet RJ45 port for network connectivity.

You are now connected to the Management GUI.
Verify Cellular Connectivity
Confirm the following on the GUI (see Figure B) 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 User 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
