Once the installation is complete and verified, the network operator can complete the Post-
installation Stage, using the Automatic Remote Configuration feature or manually over the air.
This is discussed in section 2.4, Post-Installation
2.2 Pre-Installation Steps
2.2.1 Network and MMT9000 Configuration
There are a number of steps that must be undertaken by the network operator before installing
an MMT9000. For more information, see the LMS4000 Data Networking Concepts (APCD-
LM050), LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Networking Concepts (APCD-LM053), LMS4000
Managing the Network (APCD-LM052), and LMS4000 CLI Reference Manual (APCD-LM051)
on the WaveRider web-site.
1. Base Station Authorization: Ensure that the MMT9000 is authorized at one or more
Base Stations with the appropriate Grade of Service.
2. IP Addresses: Configure a DHCP server to accept the new MMT9000’s request(s) for
an IP address, if the modem has DHCP enabled (factory default). If not using DHCP,
then the MMT9000 must be manually configured with the following settings:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address
3. Frequency Assignment: If the Nomadic Base Station Discovery feature (factory
default) is used, then the MMT9000 will search for the Base Station upon power up.
Step Discussion
section 2.3.1, Locating the
MMT9000
For vehicle installation, the MMT9000 should be mounted
in an appropriate location. The MMT9000 is rugged
enough to be mounted in any partly protected location.
section 2.3.2, Connecting to
Vehicle Power System
The MMT9000 is powered from the vehicle’s 12 VDC
power system.
section 2.3.3, Connecting
the End-User’s PC
Connect the modem to the end-user’s PC.
section 2.3.4, Locating the
MMT9000 Antenna
The MMT9000 mobile antennas mount to vehicle roofs or
trunks. The external panel can be mounted on command
centers, trailers, etc. Find the best location for mounting
the MMT9000 antenna at least 20 cm away from where
people will stand.
section 2.3.5, Testing the
Data Link
Confirm that the link is functioning correctly.
