AirLink by Sierra Wireless

AirLink is a widely recognized brand of high-performance, multi-network cellular routers and IoT gateways manufactured by Sierra Wireless. Designed for mission-critical industrial, mobile, and enterprise environments, AirLink devices provide ruggedized and reliable connectivity for applications spanning fleet management, industrial IoT, and public safety.

The product line includes robust gateways and advanced multipath routers like the RV55, XR80, and XR90, which deliver exceptional LTE and 5G network performance. These devices are fully supported by the AirLink Management Service (ALMS) for secure, scalable, and cloud-based network orchestration.

• How do I configure my AirLink router locally?

  To locally configure your router, connect your computer to a chassis Ethernet port, open a web browser to https://airlink./ or 192.168.1.1, and log in with the administrator name 'admin' and the default password printed on the router's base label.

• What is the AirLink Management Service (ALMS)?

  ALMS is a secure, cloud-based device and network management platform included with AirLink services used to register, preconfigure, and monitor your AirLink routers and device networks remotely.

• Where are the default passwords located on AirLink XR series routers?

  The default password is recorded solely on the base label of the router, which also features a QR code containing both the password and the device's serial number. It is highly recommended to change this password after initial configuration for system security.

• How do I install SIM cards in an AirLink router?

  Remove the SIM card cover with a Phillips screwdriver, slide the SIM cards into the appropriate upper or lower slots (depending on the cellular radio option) until they click, and re-attach the cover. Note that LPWA radios typically use an embedded SIM without needing physical insertion.
