Modem IP Routers. Specifications described are typical only and are subject to normal manufacturing and service tolerances.

CalAmp reserves the right to modify the equipment, its specification or this manual without prior notice, in the interest of improving performance, reliability, or servicing. At the time of publication all data is correct for the operation of the equipment at the voltage and/or temperature referred to. Performance data indicates typical values related to the particular product.

No part of this documentation or information supplied may be divulged to any third party without the express written consent of CalAmp.

Products offered may contain software which is proprietary to CalAmp. The offer or supply of these products and services does not include or infer any transfer of ownership.

Modem Use

The 822-1XRT and 882-EVDO modems are designed and intended for use in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” assumes the device is phy sically secured at one location and not easily moved to another location. Please keep the cellular antenna of the 8221XRT/882-EVDO modem at a safe distance from your head and body while the modem is in use (see below).

Important

Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and any person while in use. This modem is designed for use in applications that observe the 20 cm separation distance.

Interference Issues

Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by following these guidelines:

• The use of cellular telephones or devices in aircraft is illegal. Use in aircraft may endanger operation and disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe t his restriction may result in suspension or denial of cellular s ervices to the offender, legal action or both.

• Do not operate in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps unless use has been approved and authorized.

• Do not operate in locations where medical equipment that the device could interfere with may be in use.

• Do not operate in fuel depots, chemical plants, or blasting areas unless use has been approved and authorized.

• Use care if operating in the vicinity of protected personal medical devices, i.e., hearing aids and pacemakers.

001-0003-822 Rev 1

• Operation in the presence of other electronic equipment may cause interference if equipment is incorrectly protected. Follow recommendations for installation from equipment manufacturers.

Mobile Application Safety

• Do not change parameters or perform other maintenance of the 822-1XRT/882EVDO modem while driving.

• Road safety is crucial. Observe National Regulations for cellular telephones and devices in vehicles.

• Avoid potential interference with vehicle electronics by correctly installing the 822-1XRT/882-EVDO modem. CalAmp DataCom recommends installation by a professional.

Primary Antenna

The primary and optional AGPS antenna connections on the 822-1XRT/882-EVDO modem are female connectors, therefore you must purchase an antenna with a SMA male connector. Do not select a SMA antenna with “reverse polarity” or RP-Male. When using a direct mount or “rubber duck” antenna, choose the antenna specific to your band requirements. Mounting options and cable lengths are user’s choice and application specific.

AUX Antenna

The AUX antenna is a female SMA connector which can be optionally install on the 822-GPRS modem to be used for AGPS.

The AUX antenna connector is installed as standard on the 882-EVDO modem and can be used for Diversity, AGPS, or both depending on the antenna attached and the modem programming. The modem, by default, sets the AUX input as a Diversity antenna.

Accessing the Modem’s Homepage

Start your web browser and enter 192.168.1.50 in the address bar. A login screen should appear, enter the User Name: admin and the Password: password and click OK. Refer to Figure 4.3.

Figure 4.3: 822-1XRT/882-EVDO browser connection login screen

Figure 4.4: 822-1XRT/882-EVDO configuration Home page

The PPP status on the Home page will show DOWN because the new device is not enabled. Also, the MDN/MTN or MIN/IMSI lines may show an invalid phone number indicating that the unit has not

been provisioned. The modem must first be provisioned with the specific carrier before connecting with the cellular network.

Provisioning

In order to use the modem, it must be activated by the specific carrier once the ESN has been provided for the account. Over-The-Air (OTA) activation is supported and each carrier has a different procedure. Refer to Sections 5 and 6 for information on provisioning for specific carriers.

Modem Network Connection

After the modem has been successfully provisioned, the cellular data connection can be enabled. At the Home page, select “Data Connection” from the side menu bar. Fill out the Dial Number, User, and Password fields required for the specific carrier account. The default values for Verizon and Sprint are shown in Figure 4.5, a dial number of atd#777 and blank username and password. Select “Enable” on the Auto Connect line and then click the Save button.

Figure 4.5: Data Connection configuration page

The DCD LED on the front panel will light when a connection to the cellular network has been established. Go back to the Home page to verify the PPP Status is UP (Figure 4.6). The PPP IP Address field shows the current IP address the network has assigned the 822-1XRT/882-EVDO device as well as other PPP parameters.
