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:\index.html (where d is the drive letter of your CD‐ROM drive).
4.From the CD start‐up menu, select Install MP 3G Watcher to launch Installation.
5.Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the Installation window.
6.Close the browser. 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.
To use the 3G Watcher, please refer to the 3G Watcher software section in Chapter 4.
Step 6—Configure your account
The MP modem uses a SIM card that stores your account infor‐ mation. You need an account with a service provider for each MP modem you deploy. You should also obtain a SIM card for each account. The SIM contains account information used by the network to identify subscribers and provide access to the appropriate messages and services. The SIM must be inserted in the MP modem’s SIM slot (as described in the next section.)
