Modem Use
The Fusion LTE modems are designed and in ended for use in fixed and mobile applica ions. “Fixed” assumes he device is
physically secured a one loca ion and no easily moved o ano her loca ion. Please keep he an ennas a a safe dis ance
from your head and body while he modem is in use.
Important
Main ain a dis ance of a leas 20 cm (8 inches) be ween he ransmi er’s an enna and any person while in use. This
modem is designed for use in applica ions ha observe he 20 cm separa ion dis ance.
Interference Issues
Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) in erference by following hese guidelines:
•The use of cellular elephones or devices in aircraf is illegal. Use in aircraf may endanger opera ion and disrup
he cellular ne work. Failure o observe his res ric ion may resul in suspension or denial of cellular services o he
offender, legal ac ion or bo h.
•Do no opera e in he vicini y of gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps unless use has been approved and au horized.
•Do no opera e in loca ions where medical equipmen ha he device could in erfere wi h may be in use.
•Do no opera e in fuel depo s, chemical plan s, or blas ing areas unless use has been approved and au horized.
•Use care if opera ing in he vicini y of pro ec ed personal medical devices, i.e., hearing aids and pacemakers.
•Opera ion in he presence of o her elec ronic equipmen may cause in erference if equipmen is incorrec ly
pro ec ed. Follow recommenda ions for ins alla ion from equipmen manufac urers.
Mobile Application afety
•Do no change parame ers or perform o her main enance of he Fusion LTE modem while driving.
•Road safe y is crucial. Observe Na ional Regula ions for cellular elephones and devices in vehicles.
•Avoid po en ial in erference wi h vehicle elec ronics by correc ly ins alling he Fusion LTE modem. Leveraging he
FCC Modular approval of he Cellular and WiFi module requires professional ins all o avoid an enna correla ion.

1PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Fusion offers a single, flexible pla form o address a varie y of wireless communica ions needs wi h over- he-air
configura ion and sys em moni oring for op imal connec ivi y. This ready- o-deploy broadband rou er enables wireless da a
connec ivi y over public and priva e LTE cellular ne works a 4G speeds.
For he ul ima e in versa ili y, he Fusion provides high-speed 4G LTE public safe y band 14 broadband connec ivi y for
priva e infras ruc ure as well as 700 MHz Band 13 or 17 and 1700/2100 MHz AWS Band 4 (wi h 3G EV-DO/HSPA fallback
modes) based on 3GPP S andard E-UTRA Release 8 echnologies. Three E herne por s suppor LAN configura ions ha
provide for he unique requiremen s of hird-par y VPN middleware providers. An op ional 802.11 b/g/n WiFi in erface
access poin and clien opera ions suppor s connec ivi y o IP applica ions in a varie y of differen connec ion scenarios.
Dual USB 2.0 hos in erfaces are provided o suppor he connec ion of ex ernal peripherals such as Zigbee or Blue oo h
adap ers. An easy o use web-based managemen and configura ion in erface as well as comprehensive remo e
managemen facili ies are available.
Cellular/WiFi/E herne rule-based and applica ion por -based swi ching enables IP con rol such as segrega ing some raffic
specific o designa ed bearer ne works and choosing he WAN fallback order. The Fusion aggrega es WANs, including
CalAmp’s narrowband echnology, making i a powerful and unique enabler of in eroperable ne work echnologies.
The Fusion includes an IP rou er ha facili a es raffic rou ing be ween all of he concurren ly opera ing ne works. The
in egra ed rou er simplifies ins alla ion cabling requiremen s by requiring only a single cable connec ion wi h onboard
compu ing equipmen , and offloading rou ing processor burdens and se up complexi ies. The Fusion fully in egra es wi h
CalAmp Gemini narrowband equipmen o ex end heir func ionali y o include LTE connec ivi y and access addi ional

using a direc moun or rubber duck an enna, choose he an enna specific o your band requiremen s. Moun ing op ions
and cable leng hs are user’s choice and applica ion specific. Each WWAN in erface suppor s a primary and diversi y an enna
connec or.
Connec an ac ive 3-5.5V GPS an enna, wi h an average gain >-5dBi, if using he GPS func ionali y.
Fusion is available wi h WiFi op ions, using RP-SMA connec ors. Depending on he model, connec each WiFi an enna o he
proper connec or. If equipped wi h a simple non-MIMO WiFi op ion, connec he primary WiFi an enna o he connec or
labeled “M’. For Fusions equipped wi h MIMO WiFi (2x2 or 3x3 MIMO), connec he WiFi an ennas o any free RP-SMA

1. Inser he SIM/UICC card in o he SIM/SVC slo as shown. If your solu ion requires only one cellular module, inser
he SIM in o he slo corresponding o he popula ed module (WWAN0 (lef ), WWAN1 (righ ). If you are using a
dual card solu ion, you will need a SIM card in each slo .
2. Connec he an ennas o he appropria e connec ors on he fron panel of he Fusion LTE modem.
3. Connec an E herne cable in o he E h1 por and plug he o her end in o he ne work por of your PC.
4. Connec he Power Cable o he modem PWR por and connec o an accep able DC power source (10-30VDC).

2.4 LAN CONFIGURATION
The Fusion con ains a DHCP server which will au oma ically assign an IP address o your PC, however in some cases he user
may need o change he ne work se ings on heir PC o accep he IP address from he Fusion. Before powering on he
uni , confirm ha your PCs E herne por is se up o receive an IP address from an ex ernal DHCP server, confirm i is no
se o a s a ic address. The process o do his differs depending on he version of Windows you are using.

2.5 LOG IN
S ar your web browser and en er 192.168.1.50 in he address bar. A login screen should appear
No e: The E herne cable be ween he Fusion and your PC mus be connec ed o ETH1, for his IP address o work.
En er he User Name: admin and he Password: password and click OK o log in o he modem’s Home Page. This will bring
up he uni s a us page.

The Fusion LTE Web in erface is divided in o wo sec ions. On he lef is he main naviga ion panel (shown in Figure 9). On
he righ is he con en area for he desired page.
2.6 LTE CONNECTION
Before you begin his s ep, you will need an LTE con rac wi h a carrier and an ac ive SIM card.
On he lef side of he screen, selec WWAN0. This will bring up he WWAN0 s a us page. Selec he Carrier ettings ab.
On he Carrier ettings page, enable he In erface and Provider #1 (If no done by defaul ). You will have o hi save af er
each change.
The APN, User and Password should be lef blank unless you have received specific values from he Carrier. In mos cases,
Au hen ica ion should be lef as Any.
I may ake several minu es o es ablish he connec ion af er i has been enabled for he firs ime. Verify he connec ion is
ac ive by click on he tatus ab. See below.
