Hardware and Software Installation
I/O port connections
The MP modem’s I/O port is a standard female DB15HD connector for remote monitoring of gauges, sensors, and alarms. If you are planning to use these devices, you need to create a custom I/O cable. See “Configuring the MP Modem to Report GPS and I/O Data” on page 55.
Step 5—Install the software
Follow these steps to install 3G Watcher and the MP modem driver:
1.Ensure that the computer meets the necessary system requirements. (See “System requirements” on page 23.)
2.Close any Windows applications that are open on your computer.
3.Insert the MP modem CD in your CD‐ROM drive.
The CD should automatically launch and display a menu. If not, select Start > Run from the Windows taskbar and type d:\setup.exe (where d is the drive letter of your CD‐ROM drive).
4.From the CD start‐up menu, select installation and documentation and then MP 3G Watcher installation to launch the Installation Wizard.
5.Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the wizard.
6.Click Finish in the final window. To close the CD start‐up menu, select the taskbar button to re‐display the window, then select exit in the lower right corner of the window.
7.Power on the MP modem and connect it to your computer. If you are using an Ethernet connection and your computer is connected via an Ethernet cable to a LAN, disconnect the computer from the LAN before connecting the MP modem to the computer.
Step 6—Activate your account
After you install the 3G Watcher software, you must set up (activate) your account. If you purchased the MP 595 modem directly from a service provider you may already have an account; your MP modem may be pre‐activated.
The MP 595 modem allows you to configure two accounts.
