Installation Overview
This chapter provides instructions for installing and getting your Skyus 300 up and running, as well as
reset and support information.
The installation process consists of the following steps:
•Installing SIM Cards
•Installing and Connecting Power (for Vehicle Applications)
•Connecting I/O Devices
•Connecting Antennas
•Powering your Router
•Connecting to the Web UI
•Initial Configuration and Setup
•Connecting to a Mobile Network
•Connecting Additional Devices
Installing SIM Cards
If you are using cellular service, insert SIM cards into the slots on the left side of the router with the SIM
contacts facing up.

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 13
Installing and Connecting Power (for Vehicle Applications)
NOTE: Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines for connecting electrical accessories and use
only UL Listed components.
WARNING: Electrical installations can be hazardous and should be performed only by licensed
professionals.
Consider the following when installing your Skyus 300 in a vehicle:
•Do not install the device in an area of a vehicle where it will distract the driver.
•The power supply cable, which will connect to the vehicle’s fuse box, must be installed along
the vehicle wall, inside the cab, and must not cross the vehicle’s firewall protection. NOTE: The
power supply must be sourced from Inseego or an Inseego approved supplier.
•Ensure easy access for connecting cables.
•Ensure minimum bend radius for cables.
•Avoid sharp edges or existing wiring.
•Avoid proximity to high amperages or extreme temperatures.
•Avoid direct exposure to harmful elements such as water, dust, and heat.
Installing and Grounding
To install and ground your device:
1. Use the two installation holes to secure the device in place using M3 or M3.5 (#4 or #6) screws
(16+1.8mm).

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 14
2. Ground the device by drilling into a grounded metallic surface using the integrated holes.
3. If you are installing in a high vibration setting, use cable strain relief to reduce the effects of
vibration. Install the strain relief to the same surface as the Skyus 300, within eight inches of
the device. This allows the router and cable to vibrate together. Ensure the cable is not pulling
on the power connection.
Connecting to Vehicle Electrical System
Your Skyus 300 cable harness includes power and I/O pins, including an ignition monitor, four
configurable digital General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins*, and a 1-Wire I/O pin†.
To connect your Skyus 300 to the vehicle’s electrical system:
1. Turn the vehicle off and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Disconnect the vehicle’s battery by disconnecting the negative terminal first and then the
positive terminal.
3. Connect the black (ground) wire on the DC power cable to the vehicle chassis.
4. Ensure the Skyus 300 device is also grounded.
*Two available in future release
†For future release

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 15
5. Fuse the red power wire on the DC power cable to the power source through the vehicle’s fuse
box.
6. Connect the ignition monitor wire on the DC power cable to the ignition switch on the vehicle.
NOTE: The ignition monitor ensures a controlled shutdown of the router when the vehicle is
turned off. You can configure a delay between the time the ignition shuts off and when the
Skyus 300 shuts off. See the I/O Settings Page on page 54.
7. Connect the DC power cable to the Skyus 300.
8. Reconnect the vehicle’s battery, connecting the positive terminal first and then the negative
terminal.
Connecting I/O Devices
You can use the configurable digital GPIO pins to provide on/off data and functionality. Page 14 shows
the placement of GPIO pins in the Skyus 300 cable harness.
I/O inputs convey information to the router about the state of an external device or system; for
example, that a siren is on.
I/O outputs are used for the Skyus 300 to tell a device or system to turn on or off; for example, an
ignition lock.
Connecting Antennas
There are two possible antenna configurations, depending on whether your device is mobile or fixed.
Finger tighten the appropriate antennas for your desired configuration.
NOTE: Recommended torque is 5 in-lbs (56 N-cm).

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 16
Mobile Antenna Configuration
NOTE: In the mobile antenna configuration, LTE and GPS ports are SMA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ports are
RP- SMA.
Fixed Antenna Configuration
NOTE: All ports in the fixed antenna configuration are SMA.

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 17
Powering your Router
Connect the power cord (9-32 VDC input range) to the applicable power source. If in a mobile setting,
refer to Installing and Connecting Power (for Vehicle Applications) on page 13. If in a fixed
environment, connect to the appropriate power source using the DC cable or the AC adapter as
needed. NOTE: AC power supply/AC Adapter must be installed in a location where the ambient
temperature is below 40 °C.
Connect the end of an Ethernet cable one of the Ethernet ports and the other end of the cable into the
Ethernet port of the device you wish to connect.
It is recommended to only use the power supply/adapter or connection accessory provided by
Inseego. Contact [e-mail] for more information about the power supply/adapter.
Connecting to the Web UI
On the device connected to your Skyus 300, open any web browser and go to http://my.router or
http://192.168.0.1.
Select Sign In (in the top-right corner of the screen), and enter the password printed on the
bottom of your router.
Initial Configuration and Setup
There are some initial steps you may want to take before connecting more devices to your Skyus 300.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended to change both your Wi-Fi passwords and your device Admin
password for increased security.
1. Set up Primary network name, security, and password on the Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Primary Network tab.
You can also set up a Guest network on the Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Guest Network tab.

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 18
2. Change the Admin password for the Web UI. Click the down arrow next to Sign Out in the top-
right corner of any Web Interface page and select Change Password. Select Help > Admin
Password for more information.
3. To set an Access Point Name (APN) for your network to communicate with the Skyus 300, go to
Settings > Advanced > Network tab.
Connecting to a Mobile Network
To activate a SIM card, contact your carrier representative. Please note, after activation is complete, it
may take a few minutes for the SIM card to activate and connect to the mobile network. When the
cellular LED is magenta, yellow, green or blue (depending on connection strength), the connection is
successful. Orange indicates no SIM card. Blinking orange indicates an inactive SIM card. Red means
there is a cellular error. See Indicator LEDs on page 9.
Connecting Additional Devices
You can connect up to 128 client devices to your Skyus 300 via Wi-Fi and hundreds of devices via
Ethernet using DHCP. NOTE: Higher client counts will affect throughput.
Connecting via Wi-Fi
To wirelessly connect a Wi-Fi-capable device to your Skyus 300 for the first time:
On the device you want to connect to the Internet, open the Wi-Fi application or controls and in the
displayed list of available networks, find the network name for your Skyus 300.
Click Connect or otherwise select the network name.
When prompted, enter the password.
NOTE: The Wi-Fi name and password are displayed in the Wi-Fi panel of the Home screen.
Connecting via Ethernet
To connect a wired device to your Skyus 300, plug the end of an Ethernet cable into one of the
Ethernet ports.
NOTE: If you are connecting several devices via Ethernet using your Skyus 300 as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on a switch, select Setting> Advanced > LAN to view and
configure DHCP settings.
Resetting Skyus 300
You can restart your Skyus 300, or restore settings to the factory defaults. You can do this using the
Web UI at Settings > Backup and Restore,or by clicking the Sign Out drop-down in the top-right
corner of any Web Interface page and selecting Restart.
Alternately, you can use the RESET button on the device:

SKYUS 300 USER GUIDE 19
To restart the Skyus 300: Press the RESET button quickly. This turns your router off and on again and
does not affect settings.
To restore Skyus 300 to factory default settings: Press and hold the RESET button for 15 seconds or
longer. This resets all settings to their factory default values.
CAUTION: This initiates a restart and may change the current Wi-Fi settings, breaking all existing
connections to this router and disconnecting you from the Web UI.
