Note: "req. caddy" denotes an aircard that is a PCI Expressbus card. PCI Express cards
are smaller than a standard PCMCIA adapter and require an appropriate adapter to work
in a standard PCMCIA CardBus Slot. Unfortunately, not all manufacturers provide
adapters that are 100% compatible. If you are using one of the PCI Express cards listed
here, and your JBM router does not automatically recognize your card when it is inserted,
please try a different PCMCIA Adapter Caddy before contacting JBM Technical Support.
We continually add support for new Data Cards to the Gateways. If your Data Card is not
supported, please contact us so we can provide an updated driver.
2. Using the instructions that accompanied the card, verify that the card is properly
activated and functioning correctly prior to installing the car into the JBM
Gateway:

METHOD – 1 ETH0: (Straight Ethernet Port)
Connect a crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable between the local PC and the JBM unit’s
ETH0. Verify the link LED is lit. (Straight cable from a HUB/Switch).
METHOD 2 - ETH1:(Crossed-over Ethernet Port)
Connect straight CAT-5 Ethernet cable between the local PC and the JBM unit’s ETH1.
Verify the link LED is lit. (Crossover cable for HUB/Switch).
Port Cable Device
Straight (ETH0) Straight HUB or Switch
Straight (ETH0) Crossed PC
Crossed (ETH1) Straight PC
Crossed (ETH1) Crossed HUB or Switch
Note: This example shows cabling to a PC. The link LED is not lit for ETH1.
Without a link LED lit either Method 1 must be used or the cabling must be

Cellular Card Configuration
Your JBM Gateway is able to detect many cellular cards, but others must still be
configured manually. If you are using a GPRS, EDGE, or HSDPA card that requires the
use of a userid, password, and APN, configure your car manually, as covered in the next
section. If you are using any of these cards you will need to work through this section:
Huawei 620 (gsm) ( Non-US GSM )
Novatel XU870 (gsm) (req. caddy)
Novatel X950D (gsm) (req. caddy)
Option GT Max 3.5 HSDPA
Option GT Max 3.5 HSUPA
Sierra Wireless Aircard 850 (gsm) (Non-US GSM)
Sierra Wireless Aircard 860 (gsm) (AT&T)

If you are using one of the newer 1xRTT/1xEVDO/1xEVDO rev A, USB Serial based
cards, your JBM gateway has probably automatically detected, configured, and activated
your cellular connection for you, so you can skip this section and proceed to the next
section to verify your cellular connectivity. If you are using any of these cards you can
skip this section:
