    Register New Systems

    To individually register your AirLink gateway or router:

    1. Enter your device serial number. AirVantage identifies your system type.
    2. Enter your second identifying factor for your device.
      • If your device runs ALEOS, enter the IMEI
      • If your device runs AirLink OS, enter the Registration Code
      • Both pieces of information can be found on the device label

    3. Enter the parameters of your system.

      • Provide a unique Name for the device (optional)
      • Activate the Offer (default) or choose to leave the device non-active. ALMS with Connectivity Offers:

This Offer is typically used for Ready-to-Connect devices with an embedded eSIM that want to activate both Device Management and Connectivity on a single plan.

        • AirLink Connectivity 500 MB (EU)

          • The AirLink Connectivity 500 MB (EU) Offer provides access to ALMS for Device Management, access to Sierra Wireless Customer Support and provides 500 MB/month of pooled data for Connectivity-enabled devices, billed as a monthly subscription.

    4. (Recommended) Select whether to preconfigure the device after clicking Register. To simplify your deployment, you can pre-designate the configuration you want AirVantage to apply when it connects the first time. For more information, see How to register systems with an initial configuration?

    5. Click Register.

    If AirVantage does not identify your system type (or misidentifies your system type) when you enter the serial number, click Select system type in the top left corner. The device catalog appears, and you can select your system type from there.

    Example for ALEOS-based devices

    Example for AirLink OS devices

    At first connection, AirVantage reads all the necessary information from the device and updates its database; based on the information returned by the device, the synchronization state will be shown.

    For Ready-to-Connect gateways, if you have chosen to activate the device on a Connectivity offer, the eSIM is activated and the device will get on air.

    Clicking the synchronization icon will display details on the synchronization itself (warning, errors and other information).

    AirVantage also supports registering Systems in bulk. For more information refer to How to register a list of systems?

    List of Registered Systems

    A system is created with the information you entered and added to the list: the last registered system is displayed first.

    These systems are displayed with the state NOT SYNCHRONIZED: they are activated but not synchronized yet.

    You can filter the list according to this status:

    NOT SYNCHRONIZED YET. AirVantage server is waiting for the first system communication.

    SYNCHRONIZED. Most of the system information are stored in the server database. Some noticeable changes in your system can be seen from this status: device IP changed, SIM changed, firmware changed locally.

    SYNCHRONIZED WITH WARNING. The system has communicated and has been synchronized with some optional parameters not readable, the firmware or an embedded application is unknown in AirVantage, the SIM is already in use e.g.: phone number.

    SYNCHRONIZED WITH ERROR. The system has been synchronized but some critical information sent by the device is unknown or conflicting with other systems already created in AirVantage: For example, the Serial number, IMEI or SIM card is already registered for another system.


    When system registration is complete:

    • the system state changes from Ready to Deployed
    • the communication frequency is set in AirVantage with the heartbeat read from the firmware
    • AirVantage is configured to retrieve the default status report at the same frequency as the heartbeat
