Overview

The iDEN Wireless 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

data modem.

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 over 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.

To prepare your computer and iM1000 data modem for wireless data use,

the following procedures are necessary.

•

Connect the cable.

Connect the modem to the computer via the data cable.

For more information see “Installation Instructions” on page 15.

• Turn on the data modem.

Turn on the modem before you proceed with the installation and

conﬁguration.

•

Set up Windows Components.

Use these instructions to verify that Dial-Up Networking and the TCP/IP

protocol are installed on your computer. If not, follow the procedure

provided to install them.

For more information, see “Verifying and Installing Dial-Up

Networking” on page 9 and “Verifying and Installing the TCP/IP

Protocol” on page 12.

•

Install the software.

Use the installation software to install the modem conﬁguration data

software.

For more information, see “Installing the Software” on page 16.

•

Conﬁgure your iM1000 data modem.

Enter settings provided by your iDEN carrier.

For more information, see “ConﬁguringYour MODEM” on page 29.

NOTE

You may use the following information as a fast path to

installation.

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; however, 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 positive (+)

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..

Figure 3. - Power CableAssembly

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

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

To 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 receives the ignition signal from the

vehicle’s ignition switch. However, the modem can be operated only when

the car switch is ON.

Figure 5. Switched Power Connection

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.

SETTING UP WINDOWS

COMPONENTS

The Installation software automatically installs the packet data application

on your IBM PC-compatible computer with Windows installed.

Windows must have Dial-Up NetworkingVersion 1.3 or later and the TCP/

IP protocol installed.

• If Dial-Up Networking and the TCP/IP protocol are installed, skip this

section and go to “Installation Instructions” on page 15.

• If you are not sure if they are installed, or if they are not installed,

proceed with the rest of these instructions.

Verifying and Installing Dial-Up Networking

This section provides the procedure for setting up Dial-Up Networking on

your Windows computer.

Make sure that your Windows installation media (CD or disk) is available.

You may be asked to insert it later in the installation procedure.

1. From your Windows desktop, double-click “My Computer”.

2. Double-click “Control Panel”.

3. Double-click “Add/Remove Programs”. The Add/Remove Programs

Properties window opens.

4. Click the Windows Setup tab.

NOTE

If your version of Dial-up Networking is earlier than

Version 1.3, you can go to the Microsoft™ web site,

www.microsoft.com, to get the upgrade.

IMPORTANT

If your computer has a network card or a security program

that prevents IP address changes, see your system

administrator before attempting to install this program.

If your computer is connected to a network, be sure not to

remove the existing network protocols during Packet Data

installation.
