iM1000 -Data Modem
Overview
The iDEN Wireless Data Services solution provides you with the capability
of connecting to the Internet and corporate intranets using your laptop
computer (or compatible hand-held computing device) and your iM1000
data modem.
The iM1000 enables packet and circuit-data connections.
•
Packet data: A wireless modem connection for accessing the Internet,
sending and receiving e-mail, and transferring small files over the packet
data network using standard IP protocols.
Data is sent in bursts. Packet data transmits packets (blocks) of data at
high speed. After the data is transmitted, you can remain connected
indefinitely yet not be charged for the idle time.
•
Circuit data: A wireless modem connection for sending and receiving
faxes over the circuit-switched cellular channel.
Data is sent as a continuous stream through the network to another
modem.
To prepare your computer and iM1000 data modem for wireless data use,
the following procedures are necessary.
•
Connect the cable.
Connect the modem to the computer via the data cable.
For more information see “Installation Instructions” on page 15.
• Turn on the data modem.
Turn on the modem before you proceed with the installation and
configuration.
•
Set up Windows Components.
Use these instructions to verify that Dial-Up Networking and the TCP/IP
protocol are installed on your computer. If not, follow the procedure
provided to install them.
For more information, see “Verifying and Installing Dial-Up
Networking” on page 9 and “Verifying and Installing the TCP/IP
Protocol” on page 12.
•
Install the software.
Use the installation software to install the modem configuration data
software.
For more information, see “Installing the Software” on page 16.
•
Configure your iM1000 data modem.
Enter settings provided by your iDEN carrier.
For more information, see “ConfiguringYour MODEM” on page 29.
NOTE
You may use the following information as a fast path to
installation.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Introduction
Hardware installation has to be carried out by experienced technicians
familiar with installing similar types of equipment.
Before You Start Installing
Ignition Sense Cable
Note: The iM1000 will not operate without the Ignition Sense Cable
installed or an ignition plug connected.
Installation Planning
Planning is the key to fast, easy iM1000 installation. Before a hole is drilled
or a wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you
intend to mount the antenna, iM1000, and accessories. Plan wire and cable
runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and
overheating.
Recommended Tools For Installation
The following tools, screws, and washers are recommended for proper
installation of your iM1000.
• Portable Drill
• Hammer
• Center Punch
• Four screws M4
• Four self drilling screws M4
• Four flat washers M4
• Four spring washers M4
• Phillips #2 Screwdriver

Antenna Mounting
The best mounting location for the antenna is in the center of a large, flat
conductive surface. In almost all vehicles, these requirements are best
satisfied by mounting the antenna at the center of the roof. Some vehicles
have a large trunk lid that provides a good antenna location. If the trunk lid
is used, connect grounding straps between the trunk lid and vehicle chassis
to insure the trunk lid is at chassis ground.
iM1000 Mounting
The standard mounting of the iM1000 can be mounted on different types of
mounting surfaces. Be sure the mounting surface is able to adequately
support the weight of the iM1000.Allow sufficient space around the
iM1000 for free air flow for cooling. Be sure the unit is close enough to the
vehicle operator to permit easy access to operating indicators.Although the
iM1000 can be mounted to a plastic dashboard, it is recommended that the
mounting screws be located so they penetrate the supporting metal frame of
the dashboard.
DC Power Cable Installation
The iM1000 must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Reverse polarity does not damage the iM1000; however, iM1000 protection
circuits cause the cable fuse to open. Check the ground polarity before you
begin installation to prevent wasted time and effort.
The DC power cable shipped with the iM1000 is long enough for
installation in most vehicles. Begin the power cable installation in the
following manner.
1. Determine a routing plan for the power cable with reference to where the
iM1000 is to be mounted.
Figure 2. - Power Cable Routing Into the Engine Compartment
2. Locate the nearest available chassis ground mounting point and shorten
the black lead to remove excess cable length.
3. Locate the fuse holder as close to the battery as possible and away from

any hot component. Mount the fuse holder using the provided mounting
hole and dress wires as necessary. Connect the fuse holder red adapter
lead plus to the mating receptacle on the red lead of the power cable.
See Figure 3..
4. Connect the power cable black lead directly to the chassis ground.
5. Connect the power cable red lead from the fuse holder to the positive (+)
battery terminal. Make sure the adapter cable is connected to the main
power cable red lead.
6. Plug fuse into in-line fuse holder as shown in figure 2 Figure 3..
Figure 3. - Power CableAssembly
Mounting iM1000 - Vehicle Installation
1. Select the location to mount your iM1000 - either on the transmission
hump or under the dashboard. By mounting the iM1000 on the
transmission hump ensure that the transmission housing is not
affected.
2. Use the iM1000 mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions
of the holes on the mounting surface.
3. Secure the iM1000 mounting flinges to the surface with the four
(4M) screws provided.
4. Mount the antenna using the instructions provided with the antenna
kit. Run the coaxial cable to the iM1000 mounting location. if
necessary, cut off the access cable and install the cable connector.
5. To assure compliance with United States FCC regulations on RF
exposure, the user of the equipment must position the antenna in
such a way to maintain a separation of at least 8 inches (20 cms)
between the antenna and the body of any user and nearby person.
6. Ensure that the antenna is properly installed external to the vehicle
and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna

Power Configuration
To turn ON the iM1000 modem, an ignition signal is required at the ignition
connector. It can be supplied in two ways.
Switched Power Connection
When installed in a vehicle, the modem receives the ignition signal from the
vehicle’s ignition switch. However, the modem can be operated only when
the car switch is ON.
Figure 5. Switched Power Connection
Perform the following steps to install the iM1000 modem in a vehicle:
1. Prepare a routing plan for the ignition cable after determining where
the iM1000 is to be mounted.
2. Connect the free end of the ignition cable to the vehicle ignition
switch, and the other end (with the plug) to the iM1000 ignition
connector.

SETTING UP WINDOWS
COMPONENTS
The Installation software automatically installs the packet data application
on your IBM PC-compatible computer with Windows installed.
Windows must have Dial-Up NetworkingVersion 1.3 or later and the TCP/
IP protocol installed.
• If Dial-Up Networking and the TCP/IP protocol are installed, skip this
section and go to “Installation Instructions” on page 15.
• If you are not sure if they are installed, or if they are not installed,
proceed with the rest of these instructions.
Verifying and Installing Dial-Up Networking
This section provides the procedure for setting up Dial-Up Networking on
your Windows computer.
Make sure that your Windows installation media (CD or disk) is available.
You may be asked to insert it later in the installation procedure.
1. From your Windows desktop, double-click “My Computer”.
2. Double-click “Control Panel”.
3. Double-click “Add/Remove Programs”. The Add/Remove Programs
Properties window opens.
4. Click the Windows Setup tab.
NOTE
If your version of Dial-up Networking is earlier than
Version 1.3, you can go to the Microsoft™ web site,
www.microsoft.com, to get the upgrade.
IMPORTANT
If your computer has a network card or a security program
that prevents IP address changes, see your system
administrator before attempting to install this program.
If your computer is connected to a network, be sure not to
remove the existing network protocols during Packet Data
installation.
