Plug-In LTE Modem

There is a label on the bottom of the MX-series router that indicates the plug-in modem's IMEI number.

(The modem is referred to as the 1002-CM.)

Verify this IMEI number is an exact match to that on the plug-in modem itself, as well as the label on the router's packaging.

  1. Identify the SIM 1 and SIM 2 slots. 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. With the antennas' SMA connectors pointing outward, slide the 1002-CM modem into the SR-series router. A clicking sound will indicate it is properly inserted.
  1. Slide the white plastic plate over the antenna connectors to cover the plug-in modem as shown; it will clip into place.
  2. Affix the cellular antennas to the two connectors protruding from the device.

Be sure to use the plate with the cut outs for the antenna connectors.

To remove the plug-in LTE modem, pinch the two vertical sides of the white clip (as shown below) and slide out the modem.
