3. Check the LTE eHWIC or NIM (may be in a separate box) to see if the SIM is inserted. If not, insert the SIM
using the instructions found at
www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/interfaces/ic/hardware/installation/guide/EHWIC-4G-LTEHW.html#wp1147248

.
The GRWIC on CGR is similar. The 819 has a small SIM panel underneath.
4. Install the eHWIC/NIM into the ISR (or GRWIC into the CGR-2010).
a. The instructions to physically install the LTE eHWIC or NIM into the ISR are at

.
The CGR-2010 is similar. The 8x9 ISRs have the LTE already integrated.
b. Install the LTE eHWIC/NIM into the right-most eHWIC slot (looking at the rear of the ISR, slot 0/0).

5. Install the antenna cables to the LTE eHWIC/NIM/GRWIC/8x9 and the antennas onto the extension cables.
a. Instructions can be found in the section “Additional Information”.
6. Power up the ISR and ensure that the antennas are positioned appropriately.
a. With terminal or console access to the ISR (logging the terminal console is recommended):
di. Power up the ISR. Hit Enter, and at the console prompt type “enable”. No ID or password should be
set. If there is, follow the instructions to reset the password at:

ii. Position antennas for the best RSSI signal > -80 dBm and RSRP signal > - 105 dBm, with the show
cell 0/0/0 radio command (show cell 0 radio for 819).
iii. Type “sh cell 0/x/0 hardware (cell 0 for 819) and “show version”, and ensure that the recommended
Cisco IOS
®
Software version is running. The generally recommended Cisco IOS software release
depends on the LTE modem firmware level (seen via “show cell 0/x/0|0 hardware” command).
