How to install HPE 9004 (RW) FIPS/TAA 4-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T LTE Branch Gateway

• Prepare the site: Choose a stable mounting location with adequate ventilation and access to a power source. Confirm availability of an LTE SIM card and a primary wired WAN connection if required by your deployment.
• Insert SIM and connect WAN: If you plan to use LTE as a primary or backup path, insert the appropriate SIM card into the gateway’s LTE module and verify data service. Connect your wired WAN uplink to one of the Ethernet ports designated for Internet access.
• Connect devices: Link the remaining Ethernet ports to local devices, switches, or access points to extend the network to users, printers, and other endpoints at the branch.
• Power up and access the management interface: Boot the gateway and access the admin console via the default IP address or management URL specified in the quick-start guide. Log in with the credentials provided by your IT administrator or the default credentials if instructed.
• Configure SD-WAN and security policies: Set up SD-WAN policies, VPNs, firewall rules, and application routing according to your network design. If you use a central management platform, register the device to enable centralized monitoring and policy enforcement across sites.
