How to Mount the 9602N SBD Modem
The 9602N Modem is designed to be mounted using the two 4mm holes on the connector
end of the enclosure. Self-tapping screws (eg. #6), or M3 or M4 machine screws/bolts can be
used to mount the modem to a at surface. Please note mounting screws are not included.
NOTE:
• To ensure reliable sturdy xing:
• Mount the 9602N Modem on a clean, even surface.
• Use the correct type of screws.
• If mounting on brick or poured concrete surface, let the cement completely dry
before you mount the unit.
• If mounting on a wooden surface, make sure the wood is structurally sound.
• Leave enough room around the unit to allow unhindered access to the rear
panel.
• Do not install the unit in a permanently concealed recess. You must be able to
access and remove the unit should future service/conguration be required.
In installations where the mounting surface lacks the strength to securely retain the unit with
only 2 screws, the included L-bracket can be attached to the top side, providing a 3rd 4mm
mounting hole.

Connecting the Antenna Cable
1. With the power turned o, connect the DC supply prior to attaching the
satellite antenna cable.
2. Screw the TNC-F to SMA-M coaxial adaptor onto the antenna jack
located on the bottom end of the module.
3. Ensure that the cable being used is long enough to reach from the
9602N SBD MODEM to the Antenna location. Plug the antenna cable
into the adapter.
4. Ensure that you fasten the antenna cable securely to the TNC jack by
screwing the cable rmly all the way in with your ngers.
5. Please refer to the Antenna Installation Guide for important information
on installation and placement of your antenna.
Note:
Refer to the Antenna Installation Guide supplied with your 9602N
SBD MODEM for information on installing the antenna and assuring
Quality of Service.
This guide is also available for download at www.beamcommunications.com
Note:
When installing the 9602N SBD modem the DC supply (with an earthed
ground connection) should be connected before the antenna cable.
When disconnecting the modem, remove the antenna cable prior to
removing the DC input.
Connecting the Power & IO Cables and USB Cable
The supplied cable, CBLASY0146 provides connection to both the power input
and the 9 way RS232 serial port. The module is powered from a 9 to 32V DC
supply using a 4-pin square Molex connector from the Power & IO cable and
attaching to the DC Power cable. Attach the Red and Black wires to a compliant
power supply. Ensure that the negative (BLACK) wire also connects to the earth
ground. The RED wire is the positive. The Yellow wire is not used.
It is recommended to t a 1A or 2A fuse at the power output-end of the wire. This
will protect the wiring against re should a short circuit exist in the vehicle.
The front LED has a dual function:
Green – Power OK and network visible.
Orange – Power OK but network unavailable.
Serial communication can be either by the USB Mini-B connector or the 9 pin
D Connector (RS232) attached to the Power & IO cable. The USB port function
has priority over the RS232 serial. If the USB cable is connected to a PC it will
operate and the RS232 serial will be disabled.
Both ports provide similar functionality and the setup parameters are the
same for both.
The default baud rate is 19200 8N1 with hardware hand-shaking (CTS/RTS).
The 9602N SBD MODEM does not have an autobaud facility. The baud rate
can be set via the AT+IPR=n command. Please refer to the “9602N Developers
Guide”on the CDROM.
