I/O port connections
The MP modem’s I/O port is a standard female DB15HD
connector for remote monitoring of gauges, sensors, and
alarms. If you are planning to use these devices, you need to
create a custom I/O cable. See “Configuring the MP Modem to
Report GPS and I/O Data” on page 53.
Step 5 — Install the software
Note: You must be logged in
with administrative privileges to
install the software.
Follow these steps to install 3G Watcher and the MP modem
driver:
1. Ensure that the computer meets the necessary system
requirements. (See “System requirements” on page 17.)
2. Close any Windows applications that are open on your
computer.
3. Insert the MP modem CD in your CD ‐ ROM drive.
The CD should automatically launch and display a menu.
If not, select
Start > Run
from the Windows taskbar and
type
d:\setup.exe
(where
d
is the drive letter of your
CD ‐ ROM drive).
4. From the CD start ‐ up menu, select
installation and
documentation
and then
MP 3G Watcher installation
to launch
the Installation Wizard.
5. Use the
Next
and
Back
buttons to navigate through the
wizard.
6. Click

in the final window. To close the CD start ‐ up
menu, select the taskbar button to re ‐ display the window,
then select

in the lower right corner of the window.
7. Power on the MP modem and connect it to your computer.
If you are using an Ethernet connection and your
computer is connected via an Ethernet cable to a LAN,
disconnect the computer from the LAN before connecting
the MP modem to the computer.
Step 6 — Configure your account
The MP modem uses a SIM card that stores your account infor ‐
mation. You need an account with a service provider for each
MP modem you deploy. You should also obtain a SIM card for
each account. The SIM contains account information used by
the network to identify subscribers and provide access to the
appropriate messages and services. The SIM must be inserted
in the MP modem’s SIM slot (as described in the next section.)
