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.

iModem/user Page 5 Thursday, October 7, 1999 7:46 PM

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..

Mounting iM1000 - Vehicle Installation

1. Select the location to mount your iM1000 - either on the transmission

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.

Perform the following steps to install the iM1000 modem in a vehicle:

1. Prepare a routing plan for the ignition cable after determining where

the iM1000 is to be mounted.

2. Connect the free end of the ignition cable to the vehicle ignition

switch, and the other end (with the plug) to the iM1000 ignition

connector.

Continuous Power Connection

A power on plug is permanently plugged into the ignition connector. When

the power is supplied to the iM1000 DC Power Connector, the modem turns

ON.

STARTING THE INTERNET

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.

Conﬁguring Port and Dial Settings

If you are installing data modem on a computer or hand-held device that

does not use Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT, conﬁgure your

port and dial settings, as follows:

Baud rate=19200

Data bits=8

Stop bits=1

Parity=None

Duplex=Full

Dial Method=Tone

Flow Control=Hardware

Data Initialization String=AT&K3

If the hardware ﬂow control is not supported, set the Data Initialization

String to AT&K4.

Conﬁguring the Modem with AT Commands

If you are not using the Installation disk, conﬁgure your

AT command set using the following guidelines.

Enter the command indicated next to Command Syntax.

Restore Factory Defaults

First, restore the current values to their factory default values. This will

ensure a clean start for the rest of the conﬁguration.

NOTE

DCE refers to your iDEN modem.

DTE refers to your computer or hand-held computing

device.

AT Command Restore Factory-Default Conﬁguration

Command Syntax AT&F

Expected Return Code(s) OK

iModem/user Page 62 Thursday, October 7, 1999 7:46 PM

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.

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.

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.

iModem/user Page 90 Thursday, October 7, 1999 7:46 PM

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

0Automatic Answer. Determines if the modem

automatically answers an incoming call.

• If the value assigned to this register is 0 (zero), the

modem does not answer the call, but sends an

appropriate message to the computer that

commands the modem to answer the call.

• If the value assigned to this register is non-zero, the

modem answers the call without waiting for the

computer to issue its answer-call command.

The valid range of values is 0 (zero) to 255. The

default is 0 (zero).

2Escape Code Character. Speciﬁes the ASCII

character to be used to escape from either data or

online mode to command mode.

The valid range of values is 0 (zero) to 255 seconds.

The default is 2 seconds.

10 Automatic Disconnect Delay. Determines the amount

of time between loss of carrier and disconnection of

the data call.

The valid range of values is 1 to 254 tenths of a

second. The default is 14, or 1.4 seconds.

12 Escape Code Timer. Determines the time duration

within which the escape code must be sent by the

computer to escape from online mode to command

mode.

The valid range of values is 20 to 255. The time (in

seconds) that the modem waits is determined by

dividing the speciﬁed register value by 50. The default

is 50 (that is, 50/50) or 1 second.
