How to use

Connect the Axagon CRE-SM2 to an available USB port on your computer using the built-in 1.3 m cable. The device is plug-and-play on supported operating systems; install drivers if required by your platform. Insert the appropriate card into the matching slot: smart cards into the Smart Card slot, SD or microSD cards into their slots (use adapter for mini/micro variants if necessary), and SIM cards into the SIM slot (microSIM and nanoSIM fit with adapters). Use the supplied or downloadable SIMedit software to manage SIM contacts and perform backups. Monitor the LEDs: green indicates USB connection, red steady indicates card insertion and flashing indicates data transfer.

Recommendations

Use the reader on a stable desktop surface and avoid removing cards during active data transfer. For SIM editing and backup, download the SIMedit software from the manufacturer’s Product Support page. Keep the device connected directly to the computer USB port rather than through an unpowered hub to ensure sufficient power.
