Installing the ER2000 

A Brief Word About Safety 

If you chose to mount the antenna high up on a wall, make sure to use the appropriate type of ladder. 
Follow ladder safety tips provided by the manufacturer. Connected IO recommends that you have a 
partner available to secure the ladder and to offer assistance.  Connected IO recommends that you not 
mount the unit during stormy weather, on windy days, or anywhere near electrical cables.  

Inserting a SIM Card 

Every Connected IO device needs a SIM card to operate in the LTE domain. It is possible to operate 
an ER2000 without a SIM card only when using it as an Ethernet-connected router.  The ER2000 
uses a Mini (2FF) size SIM card which is installed in a slot un the underside of the RU. 

Obtain an LTE SIM with an active data plan from your cellular account manager or dealer sales 
representative. If requested during activation, the IMEI or the MEID for the device can be found on 
the product label. 

Insert the SIM notch-end first, gold side down into the SIM slot of the RU.  You should hear it click into place. 

Apply Power to the RU 

Connect the Power Adapter to the RU and plug it into the wall outlet.  If the RU is properly powered, the POWER 
(2

nd

) LED will illuminate green, and the LED on the Ethernet jack will illuminate as well.
