Activation of the Device

Before you can use the device, it must be activated via the DataPortal. Activation consists of provisioning and go-live.

For this, no manual SIM card setup is needed, as the CANlink® mobile 10000 device's integrated eSIM card is already preconfigured with an eSIM profile containing all necessary communication settings, see eSIM card.

Requirements

If the required permission set or feature switch is not available, contact the administrator of your organization or our support team, see Service and Support.

Activate the Device

  1. Log in to the DataPortal.

  2. Go to Settings > Administration > Organization Structure.

  3. Select the Machines tab.

  4. Select Provision Machine button and follow the instructions in Provisioning and Go Live to activate the device.

    Note

    If activation is delayed, the following notification is displayed: "Activation is in progress. The machine will go live shortly".

Recommendations after Activation

  • After go-live, the device usually connects to the DataPortal within a few minutes of activation. In exceptional cases this can take up to one working day. You may access to the device via Ethernet to check the connectivity, see also Configuration Web User Interface.

  • For examining the expected LED colors of the device after the first connection both to the power supply and DataPortal, read Indicator Elements to be able to read the LED colors.

  • It is recommended to enable GNSS also for test devices.

Next Steps

Once the device is connected, activated, and mounted, configuring its telematics behavior, including its CODESYS application, is covered in the Telematics Configuration Guide.
