How to use

Install the MiniPCI-e card into a compatible MiniPCI-e slot on the host device following the device manufacturer’s service manual. Attach suitable external antennas to the antenna connectors and ensure correct orientation for best signal. Configure the host router or gateway to recognize the cellular interface, set APN and authentication details provided by the mobile operator, and adjust routing or failover settings as needed. Ensure firmware and drivers on the host device are up to date to enable full functionality.

Recommendations

Place external antennas in a location with clear exposure to the mobile network and avoid metal obstructions. For mission-critical links, configure automatic failover and link monitoring on the host device and verify SIM and APN settings with the operator. Use temperature-rated enclosures and follow ESD precautions during installation.
