2. Hardware Setup
1.
Using an RS-232 cable, connect a workstation to the GPS connector on the MultiModem.
2.
Attach both antennas (included in your ship kit). The GPS antenna is a 50 ohm SMA antenna. The
GSM/ CDMA antenna is a standard SMA antenna.
3.
Plug one end of the power cord into the device and the other end into a live power outlet. The
PWR
LED lights up.
Warning:
Do not connect your wireless modem directly to a vehicle’s battery
for your power source. Doing so may cause power spikes. If you wish to use
the battery as a power source, add a filtering device to the DC input.
3. Verify the GPS Connection
The workstation should be running a utility, such as
iQ_Monitor
, to monitor GPS satellite signals.
iQ_Monitor is included on the product CD with the MultiModem Developer’s Kit.
