This chapter describes the physical installation procedure for the system. It includes the following sections: ! Packing List, 2-2, lists the items that are included with the SU-M. ! Installing the SU-M Unit, page 2-2, describes how to physically install the SU-M unit inside the vehicle. ! Installing the Antenna, page 2-3, describes how to install the SUM’s antenna on the vehicle. ! Connecting the SU-M Unit, page 2-3, describes how to connect the SU-M to other components in the system. NOTE: This unit is to be installed by a professional installer only. 2-2 BreezeACCESS SU-M Installation Guide Packing List SU-M units are shipped with the following units and accessories. The exact packing list varies depending on system configuration and ordered equipment. ! The SU-M unit ! An omni antenna with mounting kit and cable ! A 12 VDC power cable with fuse ! Mounting hardware for the SU-M unit Other Items Required for Installation ! A PC in the vehicle with Ethernet capability ! Installation tools and materials Installing the SU-M Unit The SU-M unit must be installed securely in the vehicle. Four screws are provided to mount the SU-M to either wood or sheet metal. The position of the SU-M unit must allow it to be easily connected to the PC, the omni antenna and the power supply. See the connection diagram for guidance concerning relative placement and how best to connect the units. Install the SU-M as follows: Place the unit against the surface where you wish to mount it. Mark the screw placement using four of the mounting holes in the unit as guides. Drill four holes in the surface using the marks you made. Clear all paint, dirt and oil away from the immediate area around the holes. Screw the unit firmly in place using the mounting kit provided. Installation CHAPTER 2 Installing the Antenna The SU-M Antenna consists of two parts: an external base & whip combination, and an NMO mounting assembly. The Antenna is installed on the roof or body of a vehicle as follows Drill a ¾” (19 mm) hole in the roof or body of the vehicle. Clear all paint, dirt and oil away from the immediate area around the hole. It is important that there be a clean metal-to-metal contact point between the antenna mount and the car. Feed the Mounting Assembly through the hole starting from the exterior of the car. (Note: the Locking Nut should already be turned down onto the base about one and a half turns.) Continue feeding the Mounting Assembly through until the serrated portion is also on the interior of the hole. Gently pull on the Locking Nut to pull the Mounting Assembly into proper alignment. Continue to pull on the Locking Nut and, at the same time, tighten the Locking Nut until it is finger tight. Hold the Mounting Assembly firmly with a wrench or long nose pliers and, at the same time, hold the Locking Nut with an adjustable or open ending wrench. Tighten firmly but do not over tighten. A red capsule containing Silicone Grease is enclosed in the small bag with the O-ring. Break the capsule open and spread the Silicone Grease around the O-ring before installing it in the Antenna base. Add the O-ring to the base of the exterior Base/Whip Assembly by sliding it into the grove in the walls of the base. Place the Antenna Base onto the Locking Nut and screw down until it is tightened securely. Hand pressure should be sufficient for a secure connection. Connecting the Unit Once the SU-M unit is installed in the vehicle, connect the 12 VDC power cable to the unit’s DC IN port. Wire the other end of the cable to the power source, making sure that the cable is secure and out of the way. 2-3 2-4 BreezeACCESS SU-M Installation Guide Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ports on the PC and the ETH port on the SU-M. Connect the Antenna cables to the omni antenna and then to the ANT ports on the SU-M. If only one antenna is being used, connect it to the ANT 1 port. If two antennas are being used, connect them to both the ANT 1 and ANT 2 ports. Figure 2-1: SU-M Connectors NOTE: The SU-M’s case may be opened by an authorized technician ONLY. If the case is opened by anyone other then an authorized technician it may void the warranty. Chapter 3 Preliminary Configuration About This Chapter This chapter describes how to set the basic parameters of the BreezeACCESS SU-M. It includes the following sections: Introduction, page 3-2, gives an overview of how to change parameter settings. ! Configuring Basic Parameters, page 3-2, lists the basic parameters and their defaults. ! Verifying Proper Operation, page 3-3, describes how to confirm that the SU-M unit is fully operational. 3-2 BreezeACCESS SU-M Installation Guide Introduction After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding chapter, the basic parameters must be configured to ensure that the SU-M operates correctly. Once the basic parameters have been configured, additional parameters can be remotely configured via either the Ethernet port or the wireless link using Telnet, TFTP or SNMP management. Parameters can be configured using either of the following alternatives: To access the Monitor Program using Telnet: Connect a PC to the Ethernet port, using a straight Ethernet cable. Before running the Telnet program, configure the PC’s IP parameters to enable connectivity with the unit. The default IP address is 10.0.0.1. To configure parameters using BreezeCONFIG ACCESS: Connect a PC to the Ethernet port, using a straight Ethernet cable. Run the BreezeCONFIG program. You can use the Set IP tool of BreezeCONFIG to configure the IP parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address) based on the unit’s MAC Address which is marked on the front panel of the unit. Refer to BreezeACCESS II System Manual for more information on accessing and using the Monitor program and on configurable parameters. Refer to the BreezeCONFIG ACCESS User’s Manual for more information on using BreezeCONFIG for configuring parameters. Configuring Basic Parameters The Basic Configuration menu in the Monitor program includes all the parameters necessary for the initial operation of BreezeACCESS SU-M. In many installations, most of these parameters should not be changed from their default values. The following list includes the basic parameters and their default values: Preliminary Configuration CHAPTER 3 Parameter Default Value IP Address 10.0.0.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 0.0.0.0 Comment Address DHCP Option Disable Access to DHCP From Wlan Only ESSID ESSID1 Must be the same as ESSID the Base Station AU. Transmit Antenna Antenna 1 VLAN Link Type Hybrid Link VLAN ID – 65535 Management Best AU Support Disable Preferred AU MAC 00-00-00-00-00-00 Applicable only when Address (none) Best AU Support is enabled Authentication Open System Can be changed to Algorithm Shared Key only after configuring the WEP Key and the Default Key ID Default Key ID WEP Key 1-4 0000000000 (none) Once the basic parameters are configured, the unit must be reset in order to activate the new configuration. Verifying Proper Operation Verify that the PWR LED on the SU-M unit is on. Confirm that the PC is operational. Send and receive a test message from the vehicle in order to confirm the wireless link. 3-3 Chapter 4 Wireless Status Monitor About This Chapter This chapter describes the Wireless Status Monitor application includes the following sections: !
