Carlson Viking SIM card setup

Activate SIM or eSIM

Activating the eSIM may not be available unless you have the latest firmware which may not be released yet. The Viking should have an eSIM already installed, so you may not need a SIM card. Connect to the WIFI of the Viking using the WIFI password inside the battery cover. Open an internet browser and type in the address 192.168.10.1 and use password carlsonsw unless you’ve chosen your own. Choose Networking, enable the modem choose the eSIM slot, and make sure that the modem is enabled. You can follow that link to activate the eSIM.

To activate a SIM card, use your phone camera to scan the QR code on your SIM card or click here to enter your ICCID and make sure your SIM card has been activated. The ICCID is printed on the SIM card holder QR label and on the SIM itself. If it is not activated, buy a data plan subscription and associate it with the SIM.
