To install the MP modem, you need the power harness (or existing MP 750 or MP 775 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 880W modem only)

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.

Appropriate electrical grounding. If a ground wire is necessary, use a 16‐gauge wire and connect it to a ground screw.
