Begin Self Installation

1 During boot-up the device LEDs will be solid green for a few seconds during

initial hardware tests. This takes approximately 8 to 10 seconds.

2 The WAN LED on both sides will turn solid green; all other LEDs will be OFF.

This takes approximately 2 minutes.

3 The WAN LED on both sides will stay solid green; all other LEDs will blink red.

NOTE: Steps 1 through 3 are expected behavior.

4 The NET LED on both sides will turn solid green. This will take approximately 15 minutes.

NOTE: If the WAN or NET are solid red after 15 minutes, talk to your IT

administrator to diagnose problems with your internet connection.

5 Take a Break!

Your AIRAVE 3 LTE will go through a self-installation process during which it may download new software images and perform automatic synchronization between 3G and 4G services.

This process may take up to 60 minutes

The unit may restart a couple of times during this process. At the end of this process, all LEDs will be solid GREEN:

• WAN LED: Indicates successful connection to local LAN

• NET LED: Indicates successful connection to Sprint’s Core Network

• GPS LED: Indicates GPS lock achieved

• CDMA LED: Indicates 3G CDMA Voice Services available

• LTE LED: Indicates 4G LTE Data Services available

• WIFI LED: Indicates Wi-Fi Service available
