If you already have an AerPort account, use your login credentials to sign into the AerPort portal at https://aerport.aeris.com. If you are accessing AerPort for the first time, see the sections below to get started.

Verifying the Aeris Account

Before starting your connectivity service in AerPort, verify the account is configured correctly with access to the connectivity services and rate plans you requested.

To verify the details of your account:
  1. Log in to the AerPort portal.
  2. In the left navigation menu, hover over Account and select Account Details to open the Account Details page.

  3. Verify the following:
    • Products: All products or connectivity services you signed up for are listed in the table.
    • Rate Plans: All rate plans you signed up for are listed in the table.
    • Service Profiles: Ensure at least one service profile is configured for each product type.

      Note: Service profiles determine which services are available to you (e.g., SMS, Data, Voice) and which APN you will use.

    If you find that something is missing, please contact your Aeris account manager.

Admin User Login

When your AerPort account was created, your company provided a list of users needing account access, including at least one administrative user. All listed users were sent an email invitation to access the account.

If you received an invitation, complete the following steps to create your account:
  1. Open the invitation email you received when your AerPort account was created.
  2. In the body of the email, click Accept Invitation. This brings you to the AerPort sign-up screen.
  3. Enter your first and last name.
  4. Enter a password to access your account.
  5. Click Accept, and then Continue. This brings you to the AerPort login screen.
  6. Enter your email address, which is now your user login.
  7. Enter the password you created on the sign-up screen.
  8. Click Log In. This brings you to the dashboard of your AerPort account.

Once you gain access to the account as an administrator, you can invite additional users to the AerPort portal.

To see an example of the email invitation and account sign-up screen, see Your Aeris Invitation, Username, and Password.

Note: AerPort supports Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) but it is not enabled by default. As the administrator, you have the option to enable 2FA for yourself and any or all other users in your account as needed.
