Skyus DS Installation Guide 

Provisioning 

Once your device is activated and you connect to the cellular carrier for the first time, your device will perform Over-
the-Air provisioning, if necessary. 

The Skyus DS will provision over the air automatically upon initial power up. This process may take up to 45 minutes 
to complete. Do not unplug the device or attempt to connect during provisioning. 

Installing the Connection Manager 

Skyus DS customers using Windows operating systems have three choices for connection management. 

 

Inseego Skyus Watcher 

Inseego Skyus Watcher (compatible only with the MC7354 radio) is designed to manage the connection to the 
cellular network and provides a connection watchdog, connection and GPS status reporting, and logging 
functionality appropriate for IoT applications where 24x7 connectivity is desired. Once your device is activated and 
you connect to the cellular carrier for the first time, your device will perform over the air provisioning if necessary.  

Skyus Watcher is available after signing an End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) with Inseego. Skyus Watcher can 
be downloaded from the 

Skyus DS product page

. For information on the installation of the Skyus Watcher 

application, please reference the Skyus Watcher User Guide in the 

Inseego Literature Library

.  

Windows Mobile Broadband  

The Skyus DS is compatible with the Windows Mobile Broadband connection management functionality built into 
Windows 7 and Windows 8. Users can manage cellular connections in the Windows Network and Sharing Center. 
This form of connection management is not recommended in applications demanding 24x7 connectivity. 

Sierra Wireless Skylight  

Sierra Wireless provides a connection utility compatible with Skyus devices that can manage connections and 
display network coverage indication. For more information on Sierra Wireless Skylight go to the 

Sierra Wireless 

website

 or contact your Inseego sales representative.  

Accessing the SIM Slots 

The SIM slots are located behind the Skyus DS faceplate, which you can remove by hand. The slots are numbered as 
shown below. By default, SIM slot 1 is the active slot.
