Powering up the modem
Note: Make sure that the antenna is connected to the modem before applying
power.
To connect the power cable:
• Connect the red wire directly to the baterry’s positive (+) terminal
or to a source of 8-to-30Vdc.
• Connect the black wire directly to the battery’s negative (-)
terminal or to ground (GND).
• The white wire must be connected to either:
a) a switch for manually turning on and off the modem,
b) the vehicle’s “Accessory for position 2”, for turning ON the
modem without turning on the engine,
c) the vehicle’s “Accessory for position 3”, for turning ON the
modem only when the engine is turned on.
To test the power connection:
1.
Check the modem’s LED indicators.
• If the PWR or Power indicator is turned on or if it flashes, the
modem is powered.
• If the PWR or Power indicator is not turned on, review the
installation procedures or see “Modem Help” on page 39.
2.
Open Windows HyperTerminal and run the AT commands shown in
“Configuring the HyperTerminal session” on page 23.
The Ignition Sense Line
should not be connected
