HARDWARE INSTALLATION
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Introduction
Hardware installation has to be carried out by experienced technicians
familiar with installing similar types of equipment.
Before You Start Installing
Ignition Sense Cable
Installation Planning
Planning is the key to fast, easy iM1000 installation. Before a hole is drilled
or a wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you
intend to mount the antenna, iM1000, and accessories. Plan wire and cable
runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and
overheating.
Recommended Tools For Installation
The following tools, screws, and washers are recommended for proper
installation of your iM1000.
• Portable Drill
• Hammer
• Center Punch
• Four screws M4
• Four self drilling screws M4
• Four flat washers M4
• Four spring washers M4
• Phillips #2 Screwdriver
NOTE
The iM1000 will not operate without the Ignition
Accessories Cable installed or a power on plug connected.

iM1000 -Data Modem
iM1000 Mounting
The standard mounting of the iM1000 can be mounted on different types of
mounting surfaces. Be sure the mounting surface is able to adequately
support the weight of the iM1000. Allow sufficient space around the
iM1000 for free air flow for cooling. Be sure the unit is close enough to the
vehicle operator to permit easy access to operating indicators. Although the
iM1000 can be mounted to a plastic dashboard, it is recommended that the
mounting screws be located so they penetrate the supporting metal frame of
the dashboard.
Antenna Mounting
The best mounting location for the antenna is in the center of a large, flat
conductive surface. In almost all vehicles, these requirements are best
satisfied by mounting the antenna at the center of the roof. Some vehicles
have a large trunk lid that provides a good antenna location. If the trunk lid
is used, connect grounding straps between the trunk lid and vehicle chassis
to ensure the trunk lid is at chassis ground.
Three types of antennas can be used:
1. RAFU136A - Magnetic Antenna
2. FAD5524A - Mobile Window Antenna
3. HAF9067A - Mobile Roof Mount Antenna
Make sure that you refer to the antenna installation instructions according to
the kit number.
DC Power Cable Installation
The iM1000 must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Reverse polarity does not damage the iM1000; however, iM1000 protection
circuits cause the cable fuse to blow. Check the ground polarity before you
begin installation.
The DC power cable (FKN4448A) is long enough for installation in most
vehicles. Begin the power cable installation in the following manner.
1. Determine a routing plan for the power cable with reference to where
the iM1000 is to be mounted.
2. Locate the nearest available chassis ground mounting point and shorten
the black lead to remove excess cable length.
3. Locate the fuse holder as close to the battery as possible and away from
any hot component. Mount the fuse holder using the provided mounting
hole and dress wires as necessary. Connect the fuse holder red adapter
lead plus to the mating receptacle on the red lead of the power cable.
See Figure 3..
4. Connect the power cable black lead directly to the chassis ground.
5. Connect the power cable red lead from the fuse holder to the positive (+)
battery terminal. Make sure the adapter cable is connected to the main
power cable red lead.
6. Plug fuse into in-line fuse holder as shown in Figure 3..

hump or under the dashboard. When mounting the iM1000 on the
transmission hump, ensure that the transmission housing is not
affected.
2. Use the iM1000 mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions
of the holes on the mounting surface.
3. Secure the iM1000 mounting flinges to the surface with the four
(M4) screws provided.
4. Mount the antenna using the instructions provided with the antenna
kit. Run the coaxial cable to the iM1000 mounting location.

If necessary, cut off the access cable and install the cable connector.
5. To assure compliance with United States FCC regulations on RF
exposure, position the antenna in such a way to maintain a
separation distance of at least 8 inches (20 cms) between the
antenna and the body of any user and nearby person. Connect the
antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector on the rear
of the iM1000. See Figure 4.
6. Plug the power cable into the iM1000 power connector.
Figure 4. - Connections to iM1000 Rear Panel
Power Configuration
To turn ON the iM1000 modem, an ignition signal is required at the ignition
connector. It can be supplied in two ways.
Switched Power Connection
When installed in a vehicle, the modem receives the ignition signal from the
vehicle’s ignition switch.
NOTE
The modem operates only when the car switch is turned
ON.

CONNECTION
There are two ways that you can connect to the Internet with an iDEN
modem: packet data and circuit-switched data.
• Packet Data—uses an IP address rather than a modem number.
• Circuit-Switched Data—uses a data modem number.
Connecting with Packet Data Services
When a packet-data connection is active, your Internet service provider is
your iDEN carrier.
If you have not connected the data cable to the computer and your modem,
do so now. If you need instructions, see “This section provides information
for connecting the data cable and installing the software.” on page 16.

APPENDIX
Activate DTR Monitoring
By factory default, the DCE does not monitor the DTR line of the DTE/
DCE physical connection. Many communications programs use the DTR
line to terminate ongoing PPP/SLIP sessions. Therefore, you must activate
DTR monitoring in the DCE.
Activate DCD Management
By factory default, the wireless modem keeps the Data Carrier Detect
(DCD) line of the computer-to-modem physical connection active at all
times. Some communications programs monitor this line to determine the
status of the connection. To promote compatibility with these programs,
enable DCD management in the modem.
Set the Computer’s IP Address
You must inform the modem of the computer IP address to establish a SLIP
or PPP connection between the modem and the computer. The following
example uses the IP address 170.206.1.1. Substitute this value with the
address supplied by your system administrator or service provider.

iM1000 -Data Modem
Select iDEN Packet Wireless Data
The iDEN modem is capable of supporting multiple wireless data formats;
therefore, you must select the desired data service.
Select SLIP or PPP
When iDEN Packet Data services are active, a SLIP or PPP connection is
established between the computer and the modem. (The SLIP/PPP
connection does NOT take place on the over-the-air interface.) By default,
the modem attempts to establish a PPP connection. To establish a SLIP
connection, you must specify this request.
Although the following chart displays the SLIP and the PPP selection
commands, you may skip SLIP if you choose PPP.
Mobile IP Activation
The iDEN Data Implementation makes use of Mobile IP to manage a truly
mobile computer. You may use a Mobile IP stack on the computer or use the
Mobile IP stack built into the modem.
By default, the modem is configured for the mobile IP stack built into it. If
you desire this mode of operation, skip ahead to “Configure Encryption
Settings” on page 66.
Otherwise, you must deactivate the Mobile Node functionality within the
modem.

Mobile IP Home Agent Address
You must specify the IP address of the Home Agent. The following example
uses the IP address 170.206.50.1 Substitute this value with the address
supplied by your system administrator or service provider.
Mobile IP Authentication Key
The Mobile IP Authentication Key is used as a PIN number to validate your
Mobile IP connection with the Home Agent.
The following example uses the Authentication Key “ABC123”. Substitute
this value with the one supplied by your system administrator or service
provider.
Be sure to place quotation marks around the Authentication Key name.
Mobile IP Security Parameter Index (SPI)
The SPI is similar to the Authentication Key in that the modem and the
Home Agent must have identical values registered for the computer.
The following example uses the SPI 256. Substitute this value with the SPI
supplied by your system administrator or service provider.

Mobile Node IP Prefix Length
The prefix length of an IP address is the number of contiguous (adjoining)
bits that make up the network prefix of that IP address. This command sets
the prefix length of the computer’s IP address (see “Set the Computer’s IP
Address” on page 63).
The following example uses the Prefix Length 2. Substitute this value with
the Prefix Length supplied by your system administrator or service provider.
Configure Encryption Settings
Data Encryption allows you to send and receive sensitive information
without allowing others to electronically eavesdrop on your data
transmissions. Although network performance might be adversely affected
by the activation of data encryption, its use is recommended if you are
connecting to secure networks.
Note that this encryption setting is independent of encryption offered by
applications such as Netscape.
Data Encryption is disabled by default.
If you do not want to use the data encryption feature, skip ahead to “Saving
Your AT Settings” on page 67.
If you want to use data encryption, you must specify the request as
negotiable or not negotiable.
• If the encryption request is not negotiable and the network is not able to
grant the request (for whatever reason) for encryption, your connection
will be terminated.
• If the encryption request is negotiable and encryption is not available in
the network, the connection will be maintained in a non-encrypted state.
You also have the option to specify an Encryption Key Size.
The following example uses the Encryption Key Size 40. You can substitute
this value with any value within the allowed range of 40 to 64.

APPENDIX
Header Compression
Use this command to disable header compression.
Saving Your AT Settings
Your modem is now properly set up for typical iDEN Wireless Data
Services use. These settings, however, are stored only in the modem’s
Random Access Memory (RAM). If the modem is turned off, the settings
will be lost. The next step, then, is to save the settings in the modem’s non-
volatile memory.
Like many other modems, the iDEN modem is capable of storing more than
one personality, or image, into non-volatile memory. Each image can then
be read, altered, and saved without changing the contents of the others. The
iDEN modem has three images.
By default, the third image is loaded when the modem is powered on or
when the data cable is unplugged. It might seem logical to store these
settings into this first profile. However, because many communication
programs alter the contents of this first image, some of your parameters
might be overwritten. For this reason, store these parameters in the second
image.
By convention, the first image is named User Image 0, the second image is
User Image 1, and the third image is User Image 2.
+WS182
This command enables or disables TCP header
compression options. Some DTE-Side Stacks (such as
PPP) will negotiate local header compression
independently from this setting.

determine the cause through the AT command interface.
Follow the steps listed below:
• Close all data applications.
Otherwise, these applications might start a retry command that will
interrupt your troubleshooting efforts.
• Unplug and re-connect the data cable.
This terminates any ongoing data connections.
• Establish basic computer-to-modem communication.
For instructions, see “Establishing Communication” on page 61.
• Query the last “Extended Error Code”.
Although you might not be able to see the text as you type it, you should

iM1000 -Data Modem
S-Registers
S-registers are memory locations in the modem that you can program to suit
your data communication needs. For instance, you can set up the modem to
automatically answer all incoming data calls.
S-registers are numbered from 0 (zero) to 255 (that is, S0 to S255). Since
many of these registers are reserved for purposes of internal operation, you
may customize only a subset of the modem’s registers.
To see the list of S-Registers that you may customize, see “Customizing S-
Registers” on page 91.
Programming an S-Register
To program an S-register:
1. Go to the command mode of your communication software.
2. Type ATSn=x where n is the number of the S-register that you want to
customize; and x is the value that you want to assign to that register.
For example, to set up your modem to automatically answer all
incoming data calls, type ATS0=x (where x is any number between 1
and 255).
3. Press Enter.
NOTES
• You might experience undesirable consequences on
the operation of the remote modem if you modify the S7
or S10 registers from their default values. For optimal
performance, use the default values for these two
registers.
• If you write to an S-register that is not programmable or
if the value that you assigned to a register is invalid, the
modem will still return an OK message on the computer
screen. But, this will have no effect on S-register values.

APPENDIX
Reading the Value of an S-Register
You may also want to read the value of a particular S-register.
For a list of supported S-registers, see Table 7 on page 91.
To read the value of an S-register:
1. Bring up the command mode of your communication software.
2. Type ATSn where n is the number of the S-register that you want to
read from the software’s command mode.
For example, to read the value of S-register number 0 (zero), you
would type ATS0?.
3. Press Enter. The value of the requested S-register displays.
4. If you attempt to read the value of an S-register that is not supported,
the modem displays the message, ERROR.
You can also read S-register values in bulk by issuing an AT&V command.
Customizing S-Registers
You can use the following list of S-registers to customize the modem’s data
operation.
Table 7: Supported S-Registers

data services One of the functions of your iDEN modem.
Wireless data services uses both circuit-
switched and packet data transmissions.
DCD Data Carrier Detect. An acceptable carrier
signal received by the modem over the
modem line. Also known as Received Line
Signal Indicator (RLSI).
DCE Data Communications Equipment. The
equipment that establishes, maintains and
terminates a connection. It converts data into
units of sound and vice versa for
communication over telephone or cellular
networks.
default A factory preset choice that, under normal
circumstances, works best for your system.
You can either accept the default or change it.
dialing directory A modem book of frequently called modem
numbers that you can set up and maintain in
your communication software.
DTE Data Terminal Equipment. A computer or
hand-held device that generates and receives
data, and provides functions that control data
communications through a device like the
modem.
hand-held devices Small computing appliances, such as palm
tops, personal digital assistants, and pen-
based computers.
home agent The server that is responsible for routing data
from your home network to your computer.

network at all times.
modem MOdulator/DEModulator. An electronic
device enabling digital data to be sent over
analog transmission facilities. Converts a
digital signal to analog and back to digital
again.
non-volatile memory Permanently stored information. It is not lost
when the power is turned off.
packet data A block of data for transmission.
parity bit An error-checking method in asynchronous
transmission. An additional non-data bit
added to a group of bits to indicate whether
the number of bits in the group is odd or even.
PIN Personal Identification Number. A security
number that allows you to access a system.
PPP Point-to-point protocol.
protocol A set of conventions regulating the format and
relative timing of message transfer between
two communication terminals.
RAM Random Access Memory. The working
