SIC-4G-CNDE, SIC-4G-CNDE-SJK, SIC-D4G-CNDE, and SIC-D4G-CNDE-SJK interface modules

Installing a SIM card

The SIC-4G-CNDE, SIC-4G-CNDE-SJK, SIC-D4G-CNDE, and SIC-D4G-CNDE-SJK interface modules use micro SIM cards.

The SIC-4G-CNDE and SIC-4G-CNDE-SJK interface modules provide two SIM card slots, but only one is active at a time. If you install SIM cards in both slots, the SIM1 slot is active and the SIM2 slot is in standby state by default. To perform an active/standby switchover, execute the sim switch-to command. For more information about the command, see 3G/4G modem management commands in H3C MSR Router Series Layer 2—WAN Access Command Reference.

Figure 4 SIC-4G-CNDE/SIC-4G-CNDE-SJK interface module

The SIC-D4G-CNDE and SIC-D4G-CNDE-SJK interface modules provide two SIM card slots. The two slots can operate simultaneously. The SIM1 slot uses M0 and M1 antenna ports. M0 is the primary antenna port and M1 is the auxiliary antenna port. The SIM2 slot uses M2 and M3 antenna ports. M2 is the primary antenna port and M3 is the auxiliary antenna port. You must connect an antenna to the primary antenna port. An auxiliary antenna only cannot guarantee reliable connectivity. If the primary antenna fails, replace it immediately.

Correct installation

To install a micro SIM card, push the card slowly into the slot until it is fully inserted and clicks into place. To remove a micro SIM card, push the card outward gently. The SIM card pops out.

Installing a GPS antenna

For best performance of a GPS antenna, install it outdoors.

Figure 7 Installing a GPS antenna

Installing a 4G antenna with a magnetic base

No 4G antenna with a magnetic base is provided with the interface module. Purchase one yourself as required.

Intert the SMA male connector of the antenna into the antenna port on the panel and fasten the SMA male connector. Attach the end with a magnetic base directly to the rack.

Figure 9 Attaching the magnetic base to the rack

Installing a 4G antenna

On the SIC-D4G-CNDE or SIC-D4G-CNDE-SJK interface module, the space between adjacent antenna ports is insufficient for two antennas. To install 4G antennas for two adjacent ports, use a 4G antenna with a magnetic base and a 4G antenna.

Installing a 4G antenna extension cable

Only the SIC-4G-CNDE and SIC-4G-CNDE-SJK interface modules support 4G antenna extension cables.

No 4G antenna extension cable is provided with the interface module. Purchase one yourself as required.

Do not install 5 m (16.40 ft) and 10 m (32.81 ft) 4G antenna extension cables in the same device.

Connect the SMA male connector (labeled with the cable barcode) of a 4G antenna extension cable to the device and connect the SMA female connector of the cable to a 4G antenna.
