Introduction

Traditionally, we use a SIM card, also known as a Subscriber Identity Module card, which is a small, removable card in cellular devices that stores user identity and authentication information for accessing mobile networks. However there is a new feature, where we do not need to physically have a SIM card, we can have a eSIM card, which stands for embedded Subscriber Identity Module, that is an electronic version of a SIM card! eSIM most of the time comes directly embedded into the device's motherboard, which cannot be removed or replaced by the user of the device.

Configuration overview and prerequisites

Before we begin, let's look at the configuration we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible.

Prerequisites:

• One RUT/RUTX series router or TRB gateway with RUTOS firmware and eSIM feature;
• One eSIM which we would be able to use;
• An end device (PC, Laptop) for configuration;
