Initial Setup

Perform the initial setup depending on your deployment

scenario.
The M510 can be connected to WAN via LTE or via Ethernet

(with the LTE connection as a backup for WAN failover).
If the AP detects both methods are available, Ethernet will

have higher priority over LTE. When the Ethernet WAN link

goes down, LTE will take over. If the WAN Ethernet port is not

connected, the LTE interface will be the default uplink.
If you are using Ethernet as the primary WAN link with LTE as

a backup, perform the tasks below with one extra step:

connect an Ethernet cable to your local network, and

configure that port as the WAN port.
Attach the two LTE antennas and (optionally) the GPS

antenna, and perform the initial setup according to your

deployment scenario:
• Standalone AP
• Manual Controller Discovery
• Cloud Managed AP

Standalone AP Initial Setup

To perform initial setup to run the AP in standalone mode:

1. Plug an activated SIM card into the primary slot, and

optionally, a second SIM card into secondary slot for

redundancy.

supply accessory, or terminal block.
