There is a label on the bottom of the CORE modem that indicates the plug-in modem IMEI number.
The modem is referred to as 1002-CM.
To install SIM cards:
1. Identify the SIM 1 and SIM 2 slots on the 1002-CM. If using only one SIM card, insert it into SIM
1. A second SIM may be inserted into slot SIM 2 for an alternate wireless carrier.
2. Insert the SIM cards into the 1002-CM.
Note
If the IX20 device is used in an environment with high vibration levels, SIM card contact
fretting may cause unexpected SIM card failures. To protect the SIM cards, Digi strongly
recommends that you apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM contacts prior to
installing the SIM cards.

screw and removing the cover plate.
4. With the antennas SMA connectors pointing outward, slide the Digi 1002-CM CORE modem into
the IX20 device. A clicking sound will indicate it is properly inserted.
