Features of the MMT9000 include:
•
Nomadic Base Station Discovery
(factory default) - The MMT9000 searches all
available channels or channels from a user-defined list. The MMT9000 selects which
Base Station or access point to establish a connection based on airlink quality and
authorization acceptance. With this and DCHP Client enabled (factory defaults), the
installer does not need to enter ANY configuration parameters into the MMT9000 in
order to install it.
•
DHCP Client
(factory default)- The MMT9000 can obtain its IP address, subnet mask
and IP gateway information from a DHCP server, reducing the amount of
configuration required for installation. This allows the network operator to reassign IP
addresses to MMT9000s without having to access the mobile terminal itself.
•
Auto Remote Configuration
- The MMT9000 will accept parameters from a RADIUS
server to set other configurable parameters in the modem. These parameters include:
password, all SNMP parameters, RF Frequency (including enabling auto-discovery),
and number of hosts.
•
Monitoring Tools
- The MMT9000 has a Windows GUI, LEDs and a SETUP Menu to
make monitoring the airlink very accessible to the user. The MMT9000 supports the
local link IP address, 169.254.10.250, on its Ethernet port at all times. Using the local-
link address, the user can use the password “setup” at any time to call up the setup
menu that allows any user to check the RF link quality to verify connectivity.
•
Mobile and Fixed Antennas
- The MMT9000 is certified to work with a variety of
antennas, including whip antennas that can be permanently mounted on a vehicle or
magnetically mounted and a high-gain panel antenna that can be mounted on a
mobile command center or permanently installed as required.
•
Interoperable with LMS4000 System
- The MMT9000 can connect to the MBT9000,
CCU3000 or NCL1900 as Base Stations. It can also share the network with a mixture
of MMT9000s, MFT9000s, and residential EUMs. Thus the MMT9000 can use a
network designed exclusively for its use and/or existing LMS4000 networks.
Detailed specifications for the MMT9000 can be found on the WaveRider website.
1.2 Document Scope
This installation guide provides general guidelines for the installation and configuration of the
MMT9000, its performance, and any required regulatory information, including approved
installation notices. The Setup menu is described, which can be used to align the MMT9000
antennas.
The concepts for the MobileWAN family of components are the same as the fixed wireless
LMS4000 family. Related information can be found in the suite of available LMS4000
manuals, which includes the following:
