iM1000 - Data Modem

ongratulations on purchasing your Motorola iM1000 stand-alone data modem.

Your iM1000 offers wireless access to the internet. This data modem

offers the following features:

• Packet Data transfer for IP DTE.

• Packet Data transfer for non-IP DTE.

• Fax and Data Transfer for circuit data faxes and ﬁle transfer.

•

The iDEN W ireless Data Services solution provides you with the capability of connecting to the Internet and corporate intranets using your laptop computer (or compatible hand-held computing device) and your iM1000 stand-alone data modem.

With wireless data services, you can perform your most important laptop computer activities outside your ofﬁce or home.

Overview

The iM1000 enables packet and circuit-data connections.

•

Packet data: A wireless modem connection for accessing the Internet,

sending and receiving e-mail, and transferring small ﬁles ov er the packet data network using standard IP protocols.

Data is sent in bursts. Packet data transmits packets (blocks) of data at

high speed. After the data is transmitted, you can remain connected indeﬁnitely yet not be charged for the idle time.

Circuit data: A wireless modem connection for sending and receiving

• faxes over the circuit-switched cellular channel.

Data is sent as a continuous stream through the network to another

modem.

NOTE

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Introduction

Hardware installation has to be carried out by experienced technicians familiar with installing similar types of equipment.

Before You Start Installing

Ignition Sense Cable

Note: The iM1000 will not operate without the Ignition Sense Cable installed or an ignition plug connected.

Installation Planning

Planning is the key to fast, easy iM1000 installation. Before a hole is drilled or a wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, iM1000, and accessories. Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and overheating.

Recommended Tools For Installation

The following tools, screws, and washers are recommended for proper installation of your iM1000.

• Portable Drill

• Hammer

• Center Punch

• Four screws M4

• Four self drilling screws M4

• Four ﬂat washers M4

• Four spring washers M4

• Phillips #2 Screwdriver

Antenna Mounting

The best mounting location for the antenna is in the center of a large, ﬂat conductive surface. In almost all vehicles, these requirements are best satisﬁed by mounting the antenna at the center of the roof. Some vehicles have a large trunk lid that provides a good antenna location. If the trunk lid is used, connect grounding straps between the trunk lid and vehicle chassis to insure the trunk lid is at chassis ground.

iM1000 Mounting

The standard mounting of the iM1000 can be mounted on different types of mounting surfaces. Be sure the mounting surface is able to adequately support the weight of the iM1000. Allow sufﬁcient space around the iM1000 for free air ﬂow for cooling. Be sure the unit is close enough to the vehicle operator to permit easy access to operating indicators. Although the iM1000 can be mounted to a plastic dashboard, it is recommended that the mounting screws be located so they penetrate the supporting metal frame of the dashboard.

DC Power Cable Installation

The iM1000 must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems. Reverse polarity does not damage the iM1000; ho wever, iM1000 protection circuits cause the cable fuse to open. Check the ground polarity before you begin installation to prevent wasted time and effort.

The DC power cable shipped with the iM1000 is long enough for installation in most vehicles. Begin the power cable installation in the following manner.

1. Determine a routing plan for the power cable with reference to where the iM1000 is to be mounted.

Figure 2. - Power Cable Routing Into the Engine Compartment

2. Locate the nearest available chassis ground mounting point and shorten the black lead to remove excess cable length.

3. Locate the fuse holder as close to the battery as possible and away from

iM1000 -Data Modem

any hot component. Mount the fuse holder using the provided mounting hole and dress wires as necessary. Connect the fuse holder red adapter lead plus to the mating receptacle on the red lead of the power cable. See Figure 3..

4. Connect the power cable black lead directly to the chassis ground.

5. Connect the power cable red lead from the fuse holder to the positi v e (+) battery terminal. Make sure the adapter cable is connected to the main power cable red lead.

6. Plug fuse into in-line fuse holder as shown in ﬁgure 2 Figure 3..

Mounting iM1000 - Vehicle Installation

1. Select the location to mount your iM1000 - either on the transmission hump or under the dashboard. By mounting the iM1000 on the transmission hump ensure that the transmission housing is not affected.

2. Use the iM1000 mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions

of the holes on the mounting surface.

3. Secure the iM1000 mounting ﬂinges to the surface with the four

(4M) screws provided.

4. Mount the antenna using the instructions provided with the antenna

kit. Run the coaxial cable to the iM1000 mounting location. if necessary, cut off the access cable and install the cable connector.

5. To assure compliance with United States FCC regulations on RF

exposure, the user of the equipment must position the antenna in such a way to maintain a separation of at least 8 inches (20 cms) between the antenna and the body of any user and nearby person.

6. Ensure that the antenna is properly installed external to the vehicle

and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

7. Connect the antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector

on the rear of the iM1000. See Figure 4..

8. Plug the power cable into the iM1000 power connector.

Power Conﬁguration

T o turn ON the iM1000 modem, an ignition signal is required at the ignition connector. It can be supplied in two ways.

Switched Power Connection

When installed in a vehicle, the modem receiv es the ignition signal from the vehicle’s ignition switch. However, the modem can be operated only when the car switch is ON.

PWR

Antenna

Perform the following steps to install the iM1000 modem in a vehicle:

1. Prepare a routing plan for the ignition cable after determining where the iM1000 is to be mounted.

2. Connect the free end of the ignition cable to the vehicle ignition

switch, and the other end (with the plug) to the iM1000 ignition connector.
