Note: If GPS is being imple- mented, you require either two antennas or a combination Main RF and GPS antenna.

Required equipment

Package contents

Each MP modem box contains:

The MP modem

A mounting template

Mounting screws and washers

An installation and documentation CD

A power harness

If any of these are missing, please contact your account manager.

Additional required equipment

To install the MP modem, you need the power harness (or existing MP 555 Series power harness), or an AC/DC adapter (for office installations), mounting template, and the screws and washers that come with the device.

You may also require:

A USB, Ethernet, or 9‐pin serial cable. This must be long enough to run from the mounting location of the MP modem to the computer.

·The maximum length for the serial or USB cable is 5.5 m (18 feet). The USB cable must have a Type A male connector at the computer end and a Type B male connector at the MP modem end.

·The Ethernet cable should have RJ‐45 connectors. The MP modem’s performance is affected by the type of Ethernet card in the computer and the type of cable used. The minimum requirement for the Ethernet cable is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, category 3 or 4. For better performance, use a shielded, category 5 cable. The maximum length is 100 m (328 feet).

Main Radio frequency antenna and cable. The antenna must have the appropriate regulatory approval, 50 ohm impedance, and a male TNC connector. It may be a hard or magnetic‐mount antenna.

Access Point antenna and cable. MP 595

Additional Diversity RF antenna (optional). This is required if you use the receive diversity feature. The additional antenna must have a male SMA connector.

GPS antenna and cable (optional). This is necessary if you use the built‐in GPS module.

Power supply. This is usually the vehicle’s battery.
