Quick Start Guide

Thank you for purchasing the ACM5504-5-GV-I management gateway. This Quick Start
walks you through installation and configuration. More details are available in the

User

Manual

which can be downloaded from

.

Step1 Check kit contents

ACM5504-5-GV-I device. External rack and DIN rail mount
tabs. Green connector block and 3G antenna. UTP cables.
Straight (319014) & crossover (319015) DB9F-RJ45S.
Straight (319016) DB9M-RJ45. Quick Start. 12VDC power
pack.

Step 2 Configure the hardware

 Attach rubber feet to base. Also attach the desired mounting tab and screw the

3G antenna on to the main

Cell (M)

connector If you have purchased a diversity

or GPS antenna, screw it on to Cell A

 Connect the Ethernet

LAN

port to your network. Connect your management LAN

devices to the

ETHERNET 1-4

ports

 Plug your serial console devices into

SERIAL 1-4

(all Cisco RJ45 pin-out).

Connect your USB devices to the two

USB

ports

 Plug in the green screw terminal block and attach external sensors and DIO

Note: Refer to ACM5500-I Addendum for RS422/485 and DIO details

 Apply power. The ACM5504-5-GV-I can now be powered externally by either:

 connecting the provided external power pack to the

12VDC

barrel socket or

 connecting an external 9 to 24 VAC source to the

12VDC

barrel socket or

 connecting +9V to 30 VDC to

DC PWR

and

GND

on the green terminal block

Note: If you ordered the -SDC option you’ll have an external DC-DC

power converter (input voltage +/- 36V DC to 72V DC. The
converter power cable/ connector plugs into the

12VDC

socket

The ACM5504-5-GV-I is ready for activation when the PWR status LED on the front panel

of the unit is lit steady, and the H/B (heartbeat) LED is flashing.

Step 3 Set up the appliance

The default IP Address is

192.168.0.1

(subnet mask

255.255.255.0

). With a web browser

on any computer that is network connected to the ACM5504-5-G-I:

ACM5504-5-GV-I Quick Start (520040-Rev 1.3) Page 2

 Enter https://192.168.0.1 into the address bar

Note: The

LAN

connected computer must have an IP address in the same network range
(192.168.0.xxx) as the ACM5504-5-GV-I. If this is not convenient, you can use
the ARP Ping command to set the IP address. Refer to the User Manual or online
FAQ for details. The ACM5504-5-GV-I also has DHCP enabled by default, so it will
automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on
your network. It will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address

o Log in using the default system user name

root

and the password

default.

A

Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps is displayed

It is recommended that you set up a new Administrator user (in the

admin

group with
full access privileges) and login as this new user for all ongoing administration functions
(rather than continuing as

root

).

 Select System: Administration. Enter and confirm a new System Password

and click Apply

 To assign your ACM5504-5-GV-I a static IP address or to permanently enable

DHCP on the primary Ethernet network, select System: IP then Network

Interface and check DHCP or Static for Configuration Method. Leave the
Failover Interface set to

None

Configure the RMM appliance connectivity:

 Configure the serial port settings and enable the desired protocols and logging

levels via Serial & Network: Serial Port

 Attached USB devices are auto-configured so you can access to USB console

ports, modems or external USB flash (the ACM5504-5-GV-I also has an internal

4GB flash)

 You may also enable SSH tunneled access through the ACM5504-5-GV-I to

locally networked devices (

hosts

) using Serial & Network: Network Hosts

o Configure user access to serial ports via Serial & Network: Users & Groups

Step 4 Connect the cellular modem

 Select the Internal Cellular Modem tab on the System: Dial menu. The

ACM5504-GV-I supports both OTASP (

Over-the-Air Service Provisioning

where
modem specific parameters can be retrieved via a call to a special phone number)
and a manual process where the phone number and other parameters can be
entered manually.

o For OTASP, enter *22899 as the number to be dialed (for Verizon)
