2. Installation 2.6 Fitting Cellular SIM and Antennas The B093 -V models and the B098-016-V have internal 4G LTE cellular modems. Each cellular modem requires at least one SIM card to be installed and two external cellular antennas to be attached. The B098 -V also has an internal 802.11 wireless modem that requires at least one external Wi-Fi antenna to be attached. For more detail: 2.6.1 B093-00X-2E4U-V Models B093-008-2E4U-V models come with internal 4G LTE modems and dual mini-SIM card slots. -V models work with Verizon USA by default but can be reconfigured to work with AT&T USA. Whichever carrier you choose, their SIM card activates the data plan and must be installed before powering on the device. On single-SIM models, slide the carrier's SIM card into the slot on the front of the device, making sure the contacts are facing upwards and the notch is pointing outwards as the card slides into place. Dual-SIM models use a SIM cradle. The cradle holds the SIM card or cards and slides into the dual-SIM-card slot on the front of the device. The bottom slot is the default slot. If you have a dual-SIM model and only one SIM card, insert the card into the bottom slot of the SIM cradle. No matter the specific configuration, SIM cards go into the cradle with the contacts upwards and the notch inward and adjacent to the longer cradle arm. B093 -V models come with two external 7-band celluar antennas. Screw the provided antennas on to the main Cell (M) and diversity Cell (A) SMA connectors on the rear panel. An external GPS passive antenna with magnetic base, SMA connector and 2-meter cable is available (Part #569008). It is screwed on to the GPS SMA connector on the rear panel. 2.6.2 B098 Models All B098 models have an internal 802.11 Wi-Fi adapter and come with an external Wi-Fi antenna. Before powering on the B098: • Screw wireless antenna on to the WIFI (MAIN) SMA connector • The B098 has a second WiFi antenna connector. This WIFI (AUX) connector can be used for diversity and requires an external antenna (part # 569022) 2.6.3 B098-016-V Models The B098-016-V models have a SIM card slot and three SMA cellular antenna connectors (for cellular with receive diversity and GPS). -V models default to Verizon but are multicarrier in the United States and also work with AT&T. Included in the kit are two cellular antennas (with one 10-foot coaxial cable and magnetic antenna screw mount base for mounting outside the rack). If cellular signal strength is an issue, higher gain and directional antennas can be sourced. 1 2 Before powering on the B098 -V: • Screw one antenna (or antenna cable) onto the CELL (MAIN) screw mount (1) and the diversity antenna, onto the CELL (AUX) connector. Note: If you have purchased a GPS antenna, screw it on to GPS • Your carrier will provide you with a SIM card. Insert the card into the SIM CARD slot and it will lock into place (2) Note: Insert SIM card with contacts facing downwards. 11

2.6 Fitting Cellular SIM and Antennas
The B093 -V models and the B098-016-V have internal 4G LTE cellular modems. Each cellular modem requires at least one
SIM card to be installed and two external cellular antennas to be attached. The B098 -V also has an internal 802.11 wireless
modem that requires at least one external Wi-Fi antenna to be attached. For more detail:
2.6.1 B093-00X-2E4U-V Models
B093-008-2E4U-V models come with internal 4G LTE modems and dual mini-SIM card slots.
-V models work with Verizon USA by default but can be reconfigured to work with AT&T USA.
Whichever carrier you choose, their SIM card activates the data plan and must be installed before powering on the device.
On single-SIM models, slide the carrier’s SIM card into the slot on the front of the device, making sure the contacts are facing
upwards and the notch is pointing outwards as the card slides into place.
Dual-SIM models use a SIM cradle. The cradle holds the SIM card or cards and slides into the dual-SIM-card slot on the front
of the device. The bottom slot is the default slot. If you have a dual-SIM model and only one SIM card, insert the card into the
bottom slot of the SIM cradle. No matter the specific configuration, SIM cards go into the cradle with the contacts upwards
and the notch inward and adjacent to the longer cradle arm.
B093 -V models come with two external 7-band celluar antennas. Screw the provided antennas on to the main Cell (M) and
diversity Cell (A) SMA connectors on the rear panel. An external GPS passive antenna with magnetic base, SMA connector and
2-meter cable is available (Part #569008). It is screwed on to the GPS SMA connector on the rear panel.
2.6.2 B098 Models
All B098 models have an internal 802.11 Wi-Fi adapter and come with an external Wi-Fi antenna.
Before powering on the B098:
• Screw wireless antenna on to the WIFI (MAIN) SMA connector
• The B098 has a second WiFi antenna connector. This WIFI (AUX) connector can be used for diversity and requires an
external antenna (part # 569022)
2.6.3 B098-016-V Models
The B098-016-V models have a SIM card slot and three SMA cellular antenna connectors (for cellular with receive diversity
and GPS).
-V models default to Verizon but are multicarrier in the United States and also work with AT&T.
Included in the kit are two cellular antennas (with one 10-foot coaxial cable and magnetic antenna screw mount base for
mounting outside the rack). If cellular signal strength is an issue, higher gain and directional antennas can be sourced.
Before powering on the B098 -V:
• Screw one antenna (or antenna cable) onto the CELL (MAIN) screw mount (1) and the diversity antenna, onto the CELL
(AUX) connector.
Note:
If you have purchased a GPS antenna, screw it on to GPS
• Your carrier will provide you with a SIM card. Insert the card into the SIM CARD slot and it will lock into place (2)
