Accessories

After you receive an SAG-1000 device, check whether you have received all the following items:

  • The SAG-1000 device
  • One power cord
Note If an item is missing or damaged, contact Alibaba Cloud after-sales service. The SAG-1000 device is delivered randomly from one of the two manufacturers.

Control panel overview

Front panel: consists of four LED indicators: 1000 A
  • LTE: indicates the communication status of the device.
  • CLOUD: indicates whether the device is connected to Alibaba Cloud.
  • SYS: indicates the system status.
  • PWR: indicates the power status.
I/O panel: consists of one reset button, one SIM slot, two USB ports, two reusable ports, four copper ports, and one power inlet. I/O panel
  • The reset button

    To restore the SAG-1000 device to its default settings, keep the device powered on, and press and hold the reset button with a pointy object for five seconds. Then, the device is automatically restarted and restored to default settings.

  • The SIM card slot

    You can only directly insert a Mini-SIM card into the slot. A Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM card cannot be directly inserted into the slot. If you need to use a Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM card, you must use a card frame instead of a card sleeve. The card may be stuck in the slot if you use a card sleeve.

    SAG-1000 devices support Mini-SIM, Micro-SIM, and Nano-SIM cards. You must use card frames if you want to use a Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM card.

    Mini-SIM, Micro-SIM, and Nano-SIM cards are known as 2FF, 3FF, and 4FF cards, as shown in the following figure.

  • The USB port

    Currently, 4G USB is not supported to access the Internet.

  • The reusable ports

    One reusable port provides two ports: one copper port and one fiber port. You can only use one of the two ports. If you have used the copper port, you cannot use the fiber port. If you have used the fiber port, you cannot use the copper port.

    • If both ports are used, the one enabled first is the only active port.
    • If both ports are connected, by default, the fiber port has the priority to be active when the SAG-1000 device is powered on for the first time.
  • WAN and LAN ports:
    • The WAN ports

      The WAN ports support Internet access, Source Network Address Translation (SNAT), dynamic IP addresses, static IP addresses, and PPPoE.

    • The LAN ports

      The LAN ports can be connected to on-premises clients and allow you to configure dynamic routes that connect the device to a switch.

  • The DC power inlet

    The DC power inlet is on the rightmost side of the panel. The power supply must be 12 V direct current.

    Note Use the original power cord.

Descriptions of LED indicator states

The LED indicator states of an SAG-1000 device are described in the following table.

LED indicator Shard status
LTE Indicates the communication status of the device:
  • On or off: abnormal communication.
  • Blinking: device communicating as expected.
Signal indicator The number of bars indicates the strength of the 4G LTE signal. Three bars indicate the strongest signal.
SYS Indicates the system status:
  • On or off: system not working as expected.
  • Blinking: system working as expected.
CLOUD Indicates whether the device is connected to Alibaba Cloud:
