When the LMU is moved in any direction, the associated input will be in the High state. If the LMU’s accelerometer does not detect motion, then the input will be in the Low state. No external connections are required for this functionality to be operational. 3.4.2 Ignition and Inputs The LMU-3640™ provides up to 7 inputs. These inputs are protected from typical vehicle transients and can be directly connected to most vehicle level logical inputs from 4 volts up to the vehicle power input level (typically 12 VDC). Their input impedance is approximately 10kO. One of these inputs is dedicated to sensing the vehicle’s ignition status to provide for flexible power management. The other two inputs may be used to sense vehicle inputs such as cooling unit operation, a hidden driver “Panic” switch, taxi on-duty/off-duty meter status or many others.

It is assumed that a PEG script has already been created and is being managed through LMU Manager or PULS™, the CalAmp Maintenance System. We are making three assumptions to simplify the setup process: You have created, installed and configured an LM Direct™ Server to receive messages from the LMU-3640™. (See LM Direct™ Reference Guide for details) You are using the standard wiring harness from CalAmp and the serial port expansion harness. You have created a HyperTerminal or Putty session. You have contacted the CalAmp sales team regarding the network availability of the LMU-3640™. This device may not be supported for all the carriers or networks listed in this section (CDMA-Verizon, CDMA-Sprint, HSPA, GSM), for product availability consult the CalAmp sales team. 4.1 Quick Start - General Config All LMU-3640™s must go through a common step during the configuration and provisioning process. Specifically, this is pointing the LMU to your LM Direct™ server, either via IP or a URL. This configuration process is accomplished via a series of AT Commands: 1. Power up the LMU-3640™ and connect a serial cable from the LMU to your laptop 2. Open a terminal session to the LMU-3640™ 3. Enter the address of the LM Direct™ server: Where ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd is the publicly addressable IPV4 address of your LM Direct™ server and ppppp is the UDP port number. 4. Alternatively if a URL has been set up for your LM Direct™ server, the LMU may be programmed with: Where myURL.MyCompany.com is the URL assigned to the server. 5. Enter ATIC to verify the correct settings are displayed for your Inbound Server. This configuration process is accomplished via a series of SMS Commands: 1. Power up the LMU-3640™ and your handset 2. From the handset, send an SMS message to the LMU-3640™ phone number: Where ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd is the publicly addressable IPV4 address of your LM Direct™ server and ppppp is the UDP port number 3. Alternatively if a URL has been set up for your LM Direct™ server, the LMU may be programmed with: AT$APP PARAM 2319,0,ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd AT$APP PARAM 768,0,ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd (32-bit products only) AT$APP PARAM 769,0,ppppp AT$APP PARAM 2319,0,myURL.MyCompany.Com
