[. . . ] If the installation location is subject to shock or vibration forces in excess of the modem's specification then suitable mounting must be arranged to alleviate these forces. The modem ships with 5 adhesive backed rubber feet installed on the bottom mounting plate. Page 10 CTM-110/120 Installation & Operation Manual 6. 1. 1 Mounting Area and Keep out region. 1702-0037 Rev 3. 2 6. 2 Connecting the power cable The power cable has three wires: Red +V supply (+9 to +32VDC) Black 0V return White Standby (+V for operation, 0V or floating for standby) A 5Amp "slow-blow" fuse is recommended in the +V supply line. The operate/standby switch may, for example, be the accessory position on a vehicle ignition switch. Refer to the operation notes for details of operation/standby modes. Page 11 CTM-110/120 Installation & Operation Manual 1702-0037 Rev 3. 2 6. 3 Connecting the serial data cable The modem serial data port is a standard DB9 female connector configured as Data Communication Equipment (DCE) and is wired as per the table below. DB9 Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Signal DCD RxD TxD DTR GND DSR RTS CTS RI Name Data Carrier Detect Received Data (by DTE) Transmitted Data (by DTE) Data Terminal Ready Signal Ground Data Set Ready Request To Send Clear To Send Ring Indicator Direction Modem à PC Modem à PC PC à Modem PC à Modem Modem à PC PC à Modem Modem à PC Modem à PC The DTR signal (pin 4) is used for modem operation/standby control - refer to the operation notes for details. Serial data ports on most computer equipment are configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) with a DB9 male connector. The serial data cable supplied with the CTM-110/120 will allow direct connection of the modem to most computer and terminal equipment. In some cases it may be necessary to insert a "null modem" or "gender changer" in the serial data line in order to correctly connect between the devices. 6. 4 Mounting and attaching the cell antenna The antenna used with the CTM-110/120 must be a dual band type suitable for operation on both the 800MHz Cellular and 1900MHz PCS bands. For regulatory purposes the antenna must have a gain rating of less than 9dBi on each band. For optimum performance the antenna should be mounted in a vertical orientation as high up as possible and with clear line of sight in all directions. For regulatory purposes it must be mounted in such a position as to maintain a separation distance from any person of at least 20cm (8"). The modem antenna connector is a standard SMA female type that requires the antenna cable to use a male SMA connector. Mounting and attaching the GPS antenna The antenna used with the CTM-120 must be an active type with gain of at least 26dB and requiring a 3. 3 volt dc supply provided directly by the modem over the coax cable. The antenna provided is a magnetic mount type for installation typically on an upper horizontal surface of a vehicle with a clear 360 degree view of the sky. The GPS antenna connector is a standard MCX type that requires the GPS antenna cable to use a MCX plug connector. 6. 5 Page 12 CTM-110/120 Installation & Operation Manual 1702-0037 Rev 3. 2 7 7. 1 Software Installation STEP 1 - Installing the Chameleon Controller Software The Chameleon Controller Software is designed for operation with Windows XP, and 2000. It provides tools to configure the CTM-110/120 modem and to setup connections to the cellular network. For the CTM-120 modem with GPS it also provides an application to enable the GPS data to be routed to a virtual serial COM port on the local computer so that the position data is available to a mapping application. To install the Chameleon Controller Software run the file CDstartup. exe from the CDROM. This will invoke the installation wizard: Select English or French as the preferred language. Follow the installation instructions that appear on the screen. At the end of the installation you will be prompted to install the Cypress Solutions Chameleon modem by following the instructions below for your specific Windows operating system. 7. 2 STEP 2 - Installing the Windows® . inf file For installations where the CTM-110/120 is to be operated with computers running a Windows XP or 2000 release operating system it is necessary to install an information file (. inf) in order that the operating system can successfully find and interface with the modem. [. . . ] Terminal configuration parameters are: Data rate 115, 200 baud Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control Hardware The set of AT commands available for the CTM-110/120 CDMA modem can be found in the Sierra Wireless CDMA AT command reference document available at: http://www. sierrawireless. com/ProductsOrdering/documents/2130184. pdf Page 20 CTM-110/120 Installation & Operation Manual 1702-0037 Rev 3. 2 9 Situation Solution: Situation: Solution: Situation: Solution: Trouble shooting The power LED is flashing slowly and I can't communicate with the modem. Make sure that the standby signal is connected to greater than 9VDC AND the RS232 port is active. The USB to serial converter isn't working. Make sure that the CTM-110/120 modem has been installed in Windows to use the same comms. [. . . ]
