SIM Card
TROLL Link Telemetry System 100 and 101 units must
have a SIM (subscriber identity module) card to allow
communication over the wireless network. TROLL Link
101 units have SIM cards pre-installed by In-Situ Inc.
TROLL Link 100 customers must obtain a SIM card from
their service provider, typically when purchasing a service
plan. These cards can be configured to have a static IP
address. Consider if your application requires a static IP
address when purchasing the SIM card.
Once a SIM card has been obtained, install it in the slot at
the top of the TROLL Link 100 modem, as shown below.
1. Align the SIM card so the diagonal cut is facing towards
the antenna base.
2. Gently insert the card into the slot and push in fully. Hold
the card in place with one finger.
3. While holding the card, slide the lock over the edge of
the card.
TROLL Link 101 modems are shipped with
SIM cards already installed.

Connecting Instruments to the TROLL
Link Telemetry System
All instruments must be connected to the TROLL Link
Telemetry System during configuration to set up
messages, alarms, and relays. Instruments are connected
using a bulkhead-to-twist-lock connection for a single
instrument, or using the TROLL Net Hub for a multiple
instrument network.
When configuring a multiple instrument network, you must
have all instruments connected at the same time to
properly set up the system.
Ensure all instruments have been uniquely addressed
prior to connecting them to the TROLL Net Hub.
1. Connect the TROLL Link Telemetry System to the
TROLL Net Hub master connector by wiring through the
strain relief connector. See the TROLL Net Hub
Instruction Sheet.
2. Connect all instruments to the TROLL Net Hub slave
connectors.
