This guide will assist you with the use, installation, and configuration of the VMM6300 (2.4 GHz) and the VMM7300 (4.9 GHz), Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM). Because of the physical and functional similarities of these two VMMs, the same instructions will apply to both devices except where specifically noted.

Thank you for purchasing the VMM6300 and/or the VMM7300 Vehicle Mounted Modem. Both devices are designed to integrate with Motorola’s mesh enabled architecture wireless communication system capable of supporting high data rate mobile communication at variable rates of vehicular speeds.
The VMM6300 and the VMM7300 are wireless modems that have been designed for permanent in- vehicle mounting. Each device provides access to the wireless 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 VMM6300 and the VMM7300 provide the same functionality as the WMC6300 or the WMC7300 (respectively) to the connected device, including
The VMM efficiently combines the functionality of a Motorola subscriber device and client modem into a single
The Vehicle Mounted Modem allows connection of multiple IP addressable devices using standard Ethernet connectivity. This allows devices that cannot accept the PCMCIA based WMC6300 or WMC7300 product to function transparently on a wireless mesh network without additional drivers.
