Getting started with the XBee Cellular Modem Development Kit

Connect the hardware

Digi XBee Cellular LTE Cat 1 Embedded Modem User Guide

Connect the hardware

1. Plug one XBee Cellular Modem into the XBIB-U-DEV board.

2. The SIM card should be inserted into the XBee Cellular Modem already. If not, install the

SIM card into the XBee Cellular Modem.

WARNING!

Never insert or remove the SIM card while the device is powered!

3. Connect the antennas to the XBee Cellular Modem by aligning the U.FL connectors carefully,

then firmly pressing straight down to seat the connector. U.FL is fragile and is not designed for

multiple insertions, so be careful when connecting or removing the antennas.

4. Plug the 12 V power supply to the power jack on the development board.

5. Connect the USB cable from a PC to the USB port on the development board. The computer

searches for a driver, which can take a few minutes to install.
