This guide will assist you with the use, installation, and configuration of the VMM6300 (2.4 GHz) and
the VMM7300 (4.9 GHz), Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM). Because of the physical an d functional
similarities of these two VMMs, the same instructions will apply to both devices except where
specifically noted.
The Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM) Defined
.............................................
.
.
Thank you for purchasing the VMM6300 and/or the VMM7300 Vehicle Mounted Modem. Both
devices are designed to integrate with Motorola’s mesh enabled architecture wireless communication
system capable of supporting high data rate mobile communication at variable rates of vehicular
speeds.
The VMM6300 and the VMM7300 are wireless modems that have been designed for permanent in vehicle mounting. Each device provides access to the wireless network via an Ethernet connection to
mobile data terminals, laptop computers, or any other device that has an Ethernet port. The VMM
operates on 12VDC and is rugged enough for installation in commercial and public safety vehicles.
The VMM6300 and the VMM7300 provide the same functionality as the WMC6300 or the WMC7300
(respectively) to the connected device, including geo-location.
The VMM efficiently combines the functionality of a Motorola subscriber device and client modem
into a single cost-effective wireless network component. This makes it easy for any Ethernet-ready
device to access a wireless mobile broadband network. Computers, IP video cameras, sensors, signs,
signals, etc. can all be mesh network enabled to send and receive data at burst rates of up to 6 Mbps.
All standard subscriber device functionality including Multi-Hopping™, non-line-of-sight
communications and geo-location services are fully supported.
The Vehicle Mounted Modem allows connection of multiple IP addressable devices using standard
Ethernet connectivity. This allows devices that cannot accept the PCMCIA based WMC6300 or
WMC7300 product to function transparently on a wireless mesh network without additional drivers.

Software Requirements
.............................................
.
.
There are two ways to install and setup the VMM6300 and the VMM7300 devices: MeshManager or
the MOTOMESH Device Administration web interface.
Between the two available setup methods, MeshManager is the preferred and comprehensive device
setup, configuration, and management application. Prior to using the MeshManager for device
installation and configuration, ensure that it is installed and running on a network computer.
MeshManager will be used during the VMM setup process to validate the installation of the device and
to manage it, (as well as other devices) within the wireless network. It is important to note that a fully
functional mesh network is REQUIRED when using this method.
The MOTOMESH Device Administration web interface can be used to setup and configure the device
by connecting a PC to the wired interface. Please note that the web interface does not offer all the
features that are provided within the MeshManager application. Additional web interface information
is provided later in the manual.
Detailed information about the MeshManager application is found in the MOTOMESH MeshManager
Users Guide.
Equipment Requirements

A VMM6300 and a VMM7300 device is utilized similarly to a subs criber device within a Motoro la
wireless mesh network and will be used with an IAP (Intelligent Access Point) and a MWR (Mesh
Wireless Modem) Motorola infrastructure devices.
The following list defines the standard hardware components to install a VMM:
• N-type Antenna Connector
• Antenna (supplied): 2.4 STD 4dBi, 4.9 STD 8dBi

Chapter 2: Device Installation
• 15 foot power cable assembly
The Network Operator must supply the following:
• Mounting Location
• Power Source (12V DC) (from vehicle or other DC power sup ply )
• A Hub or Switch (if more then 1 Ethernet device will be used)
• Hand tools for bracket installation
MAC Address Label Location
The transceiver and SBC (Ethe rnet) MAC addresses for the VMM6300 and for the VMM7300 are
listed on the label located either on the front side or on the back of the VMM unit. Record these
numbers in the MAC Address Tables provided in the next section.
The figure below is only a sample VMM label, an actual device label for either of the VMM devices
will be designated accordingly.
