Connecting to a Computer or other
Device
Figure 0-7: USB
Your PinPoint XT’s full-speed (12 Mbit) USB 2.0 port can be
connected directly to most computers or other devices using a
standard full-speed USB 2.0 cable. If the computer or device you are
connecting or the cable is not rated for full-speed, the modem will
communicate at a reduced speed to match. The PinPoint XT
functions as a device, not a host.
When it is connected to a computer, the USB port should be seen as
a COM port or Ethernet port after the applicable driver is installed.
The PinPoint XT has a standard mini-B connector.
Figure 0-8: I/O
Your PinPoint XT also has an I/O port with digital inputs, analog
inputs, and relay outputs which can be connected to external devices.
The I/O port can use an optional I/O harness available through Sierra
Wireless.
Indicator Lights
When solid, PinPoint XT indicates a successful connection. When
your PinPoint XT is connected to power and an antenna, there is a
specific pattern to the lights to indicate its operation mode.
