Fusion LTE Router

User Manual PN 001-0000-602 Revision 1; June 2012

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 Fusion LTE modems are designed and intended for use in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” assumes the device is physically secured at one location and not easily moved to another location. Please keep the antennas at a safe distance from your head and body while the modem is in use.

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 this restriction may result in suspension or denial of cellular services 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.

• 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 Fusion LTE 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 Fusion LTE modem. Leveraging the

FCC Modular approval of the Cellular and WiFi module requires professional install to avoid antenna correlation.

1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Fusion offers a single, flexible platform to address a variety of wireless communications needs with over-the-air configuration and system monitoring for optimal connectivity. This ready-to-deploy broadband router enables wireless data connectivity over public and private LTE cellular networks at 4G speeds.

For the ultimate in versatility, the Fusion provides high-speed 4G LTE public safety band 14 broadband connectivity for private infrastructure as well as 700 MHz Band 13 or 17 and 1700/2100 MHz AWS Band 4 (with 3G EV-DO/HSPA fallback modes) based on 3GPP Standard E-UTRA Release 8 technologies. Three Ethernet ports support LAN configurations that provide for the unique requirements of third-party VPN middleware providers. An optional 802.11 b/g/n WiFi interface access point and client operations supports connectivity to IP applications in a variety of different connection scenarios. Dual USB 2.0 host interfaces are provided to support the connection of external peripherals such as Zigbee or Bluetooth adapters. An easy to use web-based management and configuration interface as well as comprehensive remote management facilities are available.

Cellular/WiFi/Ethernet rule-based and application port-based switching enables IP control such as segregating some traffic specific to designated bearer networks and choosing the WAN fallback order. The Fusion aggregates WANs, including CalAmp’s narrowband technology, making it a powerful and unique enabler of interoperable network technologies.

The Fusion includes an IP router that facilitates traffic routing between all of the concurrently operating networks. The integrated router simplifies installation cabling requirements by requiring only a single cable connection with onboard computing equipment, and offloading routing processor burdens and setup complexities. The Fusion fully integrates with CalAmp Gemini narrowband equipment to extend their functionality to include LTE connectivity and access additional Fusion peripherals

1.2 MODULE IDENTIFI C ATION

(1) The “Power-Down Timer Activated” is a transient condition that exist when the “ignition” input is OFF and the

“power management – shutdown when ignition is off” feature is activated. It means that the unit is about to shutdown and this will occur when the timer has expired.

(2) WIFI Client has priority over the WIFI AP function. This implies that WIFI Client has ownership of the LED when it is

enabled. WIFI AP has ownership of the LED only if the WIFI Client if disabled.

1.8 ANTENNA

LTE antenna connections are SMA female connectors and must be used with antenna with SMA male connectors. 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. Each WWAN interface supports a primary and diversity antenna connector.

Connect an active 3-5.5V GPS antenna, with an average gain >-5dBi, if using the GPS functionality.

Fusion is available with WiFi options, using RP-SMA connectors. Depending on the model, connect each WiFi antenna to the proper connector. If equipped with a simple non-MIMO WiFi option, connect the primary WiFi antenna to the connector labeled “M’. For Fusions equipped with MIMO WiFi (2x2 or 3x3 MIMO), connect the WiFi antennas to any free RP-SMA connector.

This device is factory configured with default settings and is ready to be customized via HTML.

2.3 DEVICE CONNECTIONS

1. Insert the SIM/UICC card into the SIM/SVC slot as shown. If your solution requires only one cellular module, insert

the SIM into the slot corresponding to the populated module (WWAN0 (left), WWAN1 (right). If you are using a dual card solution, you will need a SIM card in each slot.

2. Connect the antennas to the appropriate connectors on the front panel of the Fusion LTE modem.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable into the Eth1 port and plug the other end into the network port of your PC.

4. Connect the Power Cable to the modem PWR port and connect to an acceptable DC power source (10-30VDC).

2.4 LAN CONFIGURATION

The Fusion contains a DHCP server which will automatically assign an IP address to your PC, however in some cases the user may need to change the network settings on their PC to accept the IP address from the Fusion. Before powering on the unit, confirm that your PCs Ethernet port is set up to receive an IP address from an external DHCP server, confirm it is not set to a static address. The process to do this differs depending on the version of Windows you are using.

2.5 LOG IN

Start your web browser and enter 192.168.1.50 in the address bar. A login screen should appear

Note: The Ethernet cable between the Fusion and your PC must be connected to ETH1, for this IP address to work.

Enter the User Name: admin and the Password: password and click OK to log into the modem’s Home Page. This will bring up the unit status page.

The Fusion LTE Web interface is divided into two sections. On the left is the main navigation panel (shown in Figure 9). On the right is the content area for the desired page.

2.6 LTE CONNE CTION

Before you begin this step, you will need an LTE contract with a carrier and an active SIM card.

On the left side of the screen, select WWAN0. This will bring up the WWAN0 status page. Select the Carrier Settings tab.

On the Carrier Settings page, enable the Interface and Provider #1 (If not done by default). You will have to hit save after each change.

The APN, User and Password should be left blank unless you have received specific values from the Carrier. In most cases, Authentication should be left as Any.

It may take several minutes to establish the connection after it has been enabled for the first time. Verify the connection is active by click on the Status tab. See below.
