Fixed Installation with I/O Input Triggered by Standby Mode
If you have a fixed installation where you want to use the I/O to monitor an external device
such as a motion detector, remote solar panel, or a remote camera, refer to
You can configure the I/O line to wake the router up for a configured length of time, and
use Low voltage disconnect to put the router in Standby mode if the voltage falls below a
configured value.

•
Pin 1 (Power) —Use the red wire in the DC cable to connect Pin 1 to the power
source. Include a 4.0 A fast-acting fuse in the input power line. Sierra Wireless recom-
mends using a continuous (unswitched) DC power source.
•
Pin 2 (Ground)—Use the black wire in the DC cable to connect Pin 2 to ground. See

•
Pin 3 (Ignition Sense)—Connected to power
•
Pin 4 (GPIO)—Use the green wire for I/O configurations. See
I/O Configuration
You can use the Pin 4 (GPIO) green wire as:
·
A pulse counter
(See
·
A digital input
(See
·
A high side pull-up/dry contact switch input
(See

For more information, refer to the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide.
Note: You can configure the GPIO Pin 4 in ACEmanager or ALMS to trigger standby mode, to sink
current, or to pull up the voltage. If you are using the I/O line to trigger standby mode, you cannot
configure it to sink current or pull up the voltage. Likewise, if you are using the I/O line to either sink
current or pull up the voltage, you cannot use it to trigger standby mode.
