Verify RA620 Functionality
Before starting the verification procedure, please make sure make sure both LTE antennas are connected
properly and SIM card is activated and inserted.
First check if the status LED is solid green. During first boot, it is highly likely that the AP is automatically updating
its firmware, indicated by an fast blinking status LED . The status LED should turn solid green after the upgrade
process has finished (normally within a few minutes). See LED indicator table below for more details.
Verify access point connectivity – use any 802.11 client device to connect to the RA620 AP and verify network
connectivity using the client device web browser by going to a well-known web page.
Check network coverage and confirm good signal strength in the desired coverage area.
