This document describes the mounting and cabling of a
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) wireless
modem option kit for FX22/FX62 Supervisory
Controllers without the factory-installed on board GPRS
modem (models LP-FX2211T-0 and LP-FX6211T-0).
This GPRS modem option card is a Global System for
the Mobile Communications (GSM) cellular modem
option card that uses GPRS data technology. The
option card has two Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to
indicate status and signal.
The GPRS modem option card installs into the only
option card slot in the FX22/FX62 Supervisory
Controller.
The GPRS modem option card is not supported if the
FX22/FX62 Supervisory Controller has the
factory-installed onboard GPRS modem (models
LP-FX2213T-0 and LP-FX6213T-0).
At the time of this document, only a Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) card provisioned by the W yless™ Gr oup
is supported for use in the United States.
For the software configuration and operation of the
installed GPRS modem option, refer to:
•FX GPRS Modem Technical Bulleti
(
LIT-12011639)
For information on mounting and wiring an FX22/FX62
Supervisory Controller, refer to:

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect power supply before making
electrical connections. Contact with
components carrying hazardous voltage
can cause electric shock and may result
in severe personal injury or death.

Line up the mounting holes on the end plate with
the standoffs on the base board. If the mounting
holes and standoffs do not line up, the connector is
not properly aligned.
6. Press the option card until it is completely seated.
7. Place the two screws through the option card end
plate and into the standoffs on the FX22/FX62
Supervisory Controller base board. Hand tighten
these screws (see Figure 6).
8. Replace the left cover (see Figure 4) and refasten
with the two screws set aside.
Note: Leave the right cover off for the Antenna
Installation. You may wish to leave the right cover off
1. Route the included SMA coax cable through the
appropriate wiring knockout of the FX22/FX62
Supervisory Controller (top, bottom, or back), and
attach the cable to the GPRS modem option card
(see Figure 7).
3. Fasten the end of the SMA coax cable in the
mounting bracket and attach the antenna by finger
tightening the knurled nut.
4. Rotate the antenna to whatever position you need
for mounting clearance and/or best reception.
Note: Some installations may require a different
external antenna.
Note: Any external antenna must be compatible with
the GSM 900/1,800 frequency and th e 50 -o h m
impedance of the SMA coax connector on the GPRS
modem option.
Operation
LEDs
Two LEDs appear on the end plate of the GPRS
modem option card. On the option card label, these
LEDs appear as STATUS and SIGNAL (Figure 1).
These two LEDs are briefly described as follows:
•STATUS (green) — Flashes various LED patterns
based on the state of the modem. This LED is
directly under control of the modem itself (rather
than the modem driver).
2. Mount the antenna bracket within reach of the
6.56 ft (2 m) SMA-type coax extension cable.
Figure 8 shows the bracket details and
dimensions.
Upon initial power-up, the Status LED pattern is
typically 600 ms On/600 ms Off, and may change
depending on various modem state changes.
•SIGNAL (green) — Indicates the Received Signal
Strength Indicator (RSSI), a ccording to the nu mber
of short (350 ms On) flash patterns. (Analogous to
number of bars on a cell phone.)
For further details on the operation of both LEDs, refer
to the FX GPRS Modem Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011639).
Modem Checkout
Note: The controller’s right cover must be off to see
the two LEDs on the GPRS modem option card. After
modem checkout, replace the right cover (see
Figure 3).
After mounting the GPRS option card and completing
the antenna installation, power on the FX22/FX62
Supervisory Controller. Following a reboot of the
FX22/FX62 Supervisory Controller, you can configure
the modem by opening a platform connection to the
FX22/FX62.
To verify modem communications, verify that status
properties in the GPRS Modem Configuration
platform view display returned values.
