Cellular Connectivity

The CM8100 10G-5G model offers a global cellular LTE, 5G networks: Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) and Standalone Architecture (SA). The cellular interface is certified for global deployments with most carriers and provides a CAT12 LTE interface supporting most frequencies in use. To activate the cellular interface, you should contact your local cellular carrier and activate a data plan associated to the SIM installed.

For CM8100 10G-5G models, attach the 5G cellular antennas to the unit’s SMA antenna sockets on the power face (or to the extension RF cables) before powering on. Insert the 2FF SIM card on the power face with the contact facing up. Use the left SIM socket first.

Installing A New SIM Card

When installing a new SIM card into its slot while the appliance is active (hot swapping), it is possible that it will take a minute or two for the system to react and stabilize after the SIM card change.

Two SIM card slots are located on the rear face of the device between the antennas, insert each SIM card(s) into its respective slot (marked 1 and 2) until you feel the card click into place.

Connect the RJ11 cable at the RJ11 port at the rear, you will hear or feel a slight click when it is correctly inserted. The modem is configured at the WebUI.
