5. Connect the power cable to the RV50(X) DC Power
input. When the RV50(X) is properly set up and
powered, the status LEDs will turn on. The RV50(X) will
begin the activation/provisioning process and attempt
to connect to the mobile network. This process typically
takes 5 to 10 minutes. A successful connection is
indicated by a solid green or solid amber Network LED.
NOTE:

or it does not automatically connect to the network,
you may need to to confirm or enter your APN
information. Follow steps 6 through 8 to
WAN/Cellular > SIM Slot 1 Configuration >
Network Credentials > User Entered APN.
6. Connect your Windows® computer to the RV50(X)
using the supplied Ethernet cable.
CAUTION:
Your computer may use the RV50(X) as a network
interface while connected resulting in cellular data
usage. Campbell Scientific recommends
disconnecting the computer from the RV50(X) as
soon as configuration is complete.
7. Launch a web browser, and enter
https://192.168.13.31:9443 into the address bar. The
ACEmanager
login screen should appear in your
browser.
NOTE:
RV50(X)s running OS version 4.13 and older had
both HTTP port 9191 and HTTPS port 9443 enabled
by default. When using HTTP (not HTTPS) with these
older OS versions, enter the IP address using port
number 9191, for example, http://192.168.13.31:9191.
