Thank you for purchasing the ACM5504-5-LA/LR/LV-I management gateway (referred to
herein as
ACM5504-5-L
). This Quick Start walks you through both installation and
configuration. For more details refer to the
User Manual
on the CDROM.
Step1 Check kit contents
ACM5504-5-L
device. External rack and DIN rail mount tabs.
External green connector block and 7-band 4G LTE antenna.
UTP cables & straight (319014) & crossover (319015) DB9FRJ45S. Quick Start and CDROM. 12V DC power pack.
Step 2 Connect the hardware pieces
Attach rubber feet to base. Also attach the desired mounting tab and screw the
4G LTE antenna on to the main
Cell (M)
connector

Your carrier will provide a SIM card for activating you data plan. Unscrew the
SIM card access panel and insert the SIM card in the bottom SIM slot
with contacts facing downward and the notch to RHS. Then replace the SIM
card access panel. Refer User manual for multiple SIM installation
Note: The
ACM5504-5-L
family works with 4G LTE carriers globally. The ACM5504-5LA-I works with AT&T’s 4G LTE 700 / HSPA service (USA). The ACM5504-5-LV-I
works with Verizon’s 4G LTE 700 / 3G EVDO service (USA). The ACM5504-5-LR-I
works with 4G LTE 800-2600 / HSPA+ carrier services globally
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 ACM5500-I Addendum for RS422/485 and DIO details
Apply power. The
ACM5504-5-L
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-L
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:
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-L
. 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-L
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
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-L
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 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-L
also has an internal 4GB
flash)
You may also enable SSH tunneled access through the
ACM5504-5-L
to locally
networked devices (
hosts
) using Serial & Network: Network Hosts
Configure user access to ports via Serial & Network: Users & Groups
Step 4 Connect the cellular modem
Select the Internal Cellular Modem tab on the System: Dial menu
Check Enable for Dial-Out Settings-OOB and enter the carrier’s APN
You may also need to use alternate DNS servers from those provided by your carrier:
