STEP 3 – Connect and Turn On the Router
Sierra Wireless strongly recommends that you always ground the chassis using the grounding terminal. For more information, refer to the LX60 Hardware User
Guide. A green LED chase may occur when the router is powered on, indicating that the radio module is being configured for your SIM card. The process may take
6–7 minutes. Once the router’s radio module is configured for the SIM card, it automatically begins the activation/provisioning process and attempts to connect
to the mobile network. This process takes a few minutes. A successful connection is indicated by a solid green Network LED. If the router does not automatically
connect to the network, refer to the AirLink LX60 Software Configuration Guide (WAN/Cellular chapter).

STEP 4 – Configure your AirLink Router AirLink routers can be configured through the following two options:
OPTION A - CONNECT REMOTELY THROUGH ALMS
This option is recommended when you want to apply a pre-
defined template or to make minor adjustments to the default
router configuration.
Using a web browser, log into your ALMS account or visit
https://sierrawireless.com/complete/register
This option requires the router to be registered, (see STEP 1 -
Register your router in ALMS).
NOTE: Changes made through ALMS can take up to 1 day to
take effect (timing of refresh configurable – consult the Software
configuration guide for more details).
OPTION B – CONNECT LOCALLY THROUGH ACEMANAGER
This option is recommended when you need to set up a complex configuration/template that
requires multiple instances of trial and error and/or instant feedback.
1. On a computer connected to the router, enter https://192.168.13.31:9443 in the web browser.
The ACEmanager login screen appears.
2. The administrator user name is entered by default. Enter the default password (printed on the
label on the unit’s base) and click Login. The Status > Home screen appears.
NOTE: For system security reasons, please change the default password as soon as possible.
3. Check the Network State field. It should read Network Ready, which indicates the router
is connected to the network. If not, see STEP 3 - Connect and Turn On the Router. For more
information on configuring your router for power saving, refer to the ALEOS Software
Configuration User Guide.
