Configure the SIM card
In order to use the 3G backhaul, a properly configured SIM card is necessary. The SIM card is NOT provided.
See below the steps for a properly configured SIM card.
1.
Acquire a SIM card (standard format) associated with a data plan. The monthly data volume
depends on the number of nodes and data acquisition frequency.
2.
Activate the SIM card (cell carrier dependent procedure, not described here)
3.
Get from the cell carrier the settings associated with the data plan: (APN, user, password, etc. for
carrier-specific MCC/MNC)
4.
In case the SIM card is delivered with PIN active: Disable the PIN associated with the SIM card. Use
on of the alternatives below:
o
Use a phone to disable PIN
o
Use Titan /admin/ UI section
Edit Versa Router™ 1100 Titan SIM Settings [Titan ONLY]
.
5.
Titan is delivered preconfigured with a set of APN/user/pass for US cell carriers. If the
APN/user/pass for carrier-specific MCC/MNC are not already configured, or are improperly
configured on Titan: Configure the cell carrier settings (APN/user/pass matching the carrier-specific
MCC/MNC), see section
Edit Versa Router™ 1100 Titan GPRS provider – Titan ONLY
below.
6.
Make sure the Titan is powered off.
Power it off if necessary:
disconnect Titan from mains
and
disconnect battery positive connector from battery
7.
Insert the SIM into the SIM card holder
8.
At this point the Titan and its SIM card are properly configured for cell backhaul.
9.
Recommended action: verify the 3G backhaul starts up and works properly, as described in the
section below.
NOTE
It is
strongly
recommended to use a data plan with
full unrestricted internet access
(all ports including
ports below 1024, TCP/UDP/ICMP)
