Mesh Enabled Access

Vehicle Mounted Modem Users Guide

1 Product Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the VMM6300 Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM). The device is designed to integrate with the Mesh Enabled Access (MEA) wireless communication system capable of supporting high data rate mobile communication at variable rates of vehicular speeds. This document provides detailed installation and configuration instructions for the MEA VMM6300 device.

The VMM6300 is a wireless modem that has been designed for permanent in-vehicle mounting. It provides access to the MEA network via an Ethernet connection to mobile data terminals, laptop computers, or any other device that has an Ethernet port. The VMM operates on 12VDC and is rugged enough for installation in commercial and public safety vehicles. The VMM provides the same functionality as the WMC6300 to the connected device, including geo- location.

The VMM efficiently combines the functionality of a MEA subscriber device and client modem into a single cost-effective wireless network component. This makes it easy for any Ethernet- ready device to access a MEA mobile broadband network. Computers, IP video cameras, sensors, signs, signals, etc. can all be Mesh Enabled to send and receive data at burst rates of up to 6 Mbps. All standard subscriber device functionality including Multi-Hopping™, non-line- of-sight communications and geo-location services are fully supported.

The MEA Vehicle Mounted Modem allows connection of multiple IP addressable devices using standard Ethernet connectivity. This allows devices that cannot accept the PCMCIA based WMC6300 product to function transparently on a MEA network without additional drivers.
