1 Introduction
The WaveRider MobileWAN family of wireless systems enables mobile, field deployable
wireless access networking and operates in the 900 MHz ISM band. The MobileWAN consists
of a base station and a mix of multiple fixed subscriber terminals and mobile subscriber
terminals. The MobileWAN system comes fully configured as a basic system to provide high-
speed data services. With optional components, the WaveRider MobileWAN has the capability
to provide enhanced telephone service via an IP PBX, as well as security video and short
message text services. The system connects to all standard IP and telephony networks using
standard interface protocols.
The basic components of the MobileWAN system include:
1. MBT9000 - MobileWAN Base Terminal
2. MFT9000 - MobileWAN Fixed Terminal
3. MMT9000 - MobileWAN Mobile Terminal
Figure 1 MMT9000 MobileWAN Mobile Terminal

1: Introduction
APCD-WM001-1.0 2
The MMT9000 is the first component of the MobileWAN family to be released. The MMT9000
is a rugged vehicle data-radio that provides Ethernet access to the IP-based internet. The
MMT9000 has been designed to be easily installed into a vehicle and be powered from a
vehicle's 12 VDC1power system.
1.1 MMT9000 Features
The MMT9000 is well suited for mobile applications in the following industries:
• remote works sites,
• private communications networks,
• municipal governments,
• public works,
• large construction projects,
• homeland security,
• public safety (non life threatening),
• industrial solutions, and
• special events.
The MMT9000 is capable of delivering high-speed data, voice, and video. It can work with
VPNs and other security middle ware.
The MMT9000 is a mobile wireless modem that connects to the user's computer through an
Ethernet connection. It is intended to be installed in a vehicle and provides an interface to the
customer's computer or local area network on one side and wireless access to the LMS4000
network on the other.
The MMT9000, which acts as a network bridge, receives data from the Base Station
(MBT9000, CCU3000 or NCL1900)2over the 900 MHz radio link, and forwards this data to the
user's computer through the Ethernet port. In the other direction, the MMT9000 forwards data
received from the user's computer over the radio link to the Base Station.
The MMT9000 has a compact form factor designed for use in a vehicle, including emergency
vehicles. The MMT9000 has outstanding RF performance in a hostile mobile environment.
Temperature, vibration, shock, exposure to moisture and ease of installation have all been
considered in the modem packaging. Set-up and configuration is rapid and simple.
1. We refer to the MMT9000 as being powered by 12 VDC. This is by convention and
refers to the 12 VDC power system on most vehicles. The actual input power
specification is 13.8 VDC +/- 25%.
2. We will use the generic term “Base Station” throughout this document to stand for any of
the WaveRider 900 MHz base station products, the CCU3000, NCL1900 or MBT9000

1: Introduction
APCD-WM001-1.0 3
Features of the MMT9000 include:
•Nomadic Base Station Discovery (factory default) - The MMT9000 searches all
available channels or channels from a user-defined list. The MMT9000 selects which
Base Station or access point to establish a connection based on airlink quality and
authorization acceptance. With this and DCHP Client enabled (factory defaults), the
installer does not need to enter ANY configuration parameters into the MMT9000 in
order to install it.
•DHCP Client (factory default)- The MMT9000 can obtain its IP address, subnet mask
and IP gateway information from a DHCP server, reducing the amount of
configuration required for installation. This allows the network operator to reassign IP
addresses to MMT9000s without having to access the mobile terminal itself.
•Auto Remote Configuration - The MMT9000 will accept parameters from a RADIUS
server to set other configurable parameters in the modem. These parameters include:
password, all SNMP parameters, RF Frequency (including enabling auto-discovery),
and number of hosts.
•Monitoring Tools - The MMT9000 has a Windows GUI, LEDs and a SETUP Menu to
make monitoring the airlink very accessible to the user. The MMT9000 supports the
local link IP address, 169.254.10.250, on its Ethernet port at all times. Using the local-
link address, the user can use the password “setup” at any time to call up the setup
menu that allows any user to check the RF link quality to verify connectivity.
•Mobile and Fixed Antennas - The MMT9000 is certified to work with a variety of
antennas, including whip antennas that can be permanently mounted on a vehicle or
magnetically mounted and a high-gain panel antenna that can be mounted on a
mobile command center or permanently installed as required.
•Interoperable with LMS4000 System - The MMT9000 can connect to the MBT9000,
CCU3000 or NCL1900 as Base Stations. It can also share the network with a mixture
of MMT9000s, MFT9000s, and residential EUMs. Thus the MMT9000 can use a
network designed exclusively for its use and/or existing LMS4000 networks.

1.3.1 MMT9000 Modem - External Indicators and Connectors
All interfaces on the MMT9000 are on one side of the radio for ease of installation. The
following interfaces are:
• Ethernet port - 10BaseT RJ45 receptacle to connect the modem to the end-user’s
computer. Details on the Ethernet port are found in Appendix B on page 29.
CAUTION: Any DC voltage applied to the Ethernet port may
damage the MMT9000, the Ethernet cable, and/or network gear.
The MMT9000 is not a Power-over-Ethernet device.
• SMA-F Antenna Port - for connecting one of the approved mobile or fixed antennas to
the MMT9000. See section 1.3.2, MMT9000 Suite of Antennas for details on the
antennas.
• DC Power Connector - a watertight, locking 4 pin receptacle receives the connector
from vehicle power system cable. The MMT9000 comes with an 18-ft. cable for
connecting to the vehicle power system as well as a fuse assembly. The pin out and
connection details are discussed in Connecting to Vehicle Power System on page 14.
CAUTION: Use standard vehicle power system (13.8 VDC +/-
25%) only. Any other voltage can result in damage to the modem.
• Chassis Ground Lug - this should be connected to the vehicle chassis or ground
system.
The MMT9000 also has 3 LEDs. Figure 3 shows the layout of the MMT9000 Connectors and
LEDs, while Table 1 and Table 2 explain what each LED means.

LED State Ethernet Status
Ethernet Link If the Link LED is ON, the Ethernet physical connection is configured and working
properly. If the Link LED is OFF, then the Ethernet physical connection is not
working properly, which could be because the wrong type of cable was used or
there is a problem with the host or device Ethernet interface.
If connecting directly to the end-user PC, use the crossover Ethernet cable pro-
vided. If connecting to a router or switch, use a straight-through cable.
Ethernet Traffic The Ethernet Traffic LED flashes whenever the link is transferring data.
Signal Level
State Status
Flashing The MMT9000 has adequate signal level to support the radio link. As the signal
level increases, the flash rate increases. If possible, turn or move the antenna
slowly until the Signal Level LED flashes as fast as possible (i.e. turn panel
antenna, reposition magnetic mounted antennas).
Off The MMT9000 does not have adequate signal level (<-86 dBm). Move and/or
turn the antenna until it begins flashing. If a permanently mounted mobile
antenna is being used, then the vehicle needs to move.

1.3.2 MMT9000 Suite of Antennas
Only the following antennas are approved by FCC to be used with the MMT9000. All of these
antennas and their mounting assemblies can be purchased from WaveRider.
The end user must position the antenna correctly to receive an adequate signal level.This is
especially true of the panel antenna which is a directional antenna. The Radio LED on the
MMT9000, described in section 1.3.1, MMT9000 Modem - External Indicators and
Connectors, or the Setup menu, described in Setup Menu on page 21, can be used to help
with the alignment..
WARNING!
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the MMT9000 mobile
antennas must be mounted to provide a separation distance
of 20cm (8 inches) or more from all persons. The MMT9000
panel antenna must be mounted to provide a separation
distance of 30cm (12 inches) or more from all persons. The
distance is measured from the nearest point of the antenna to
the human body.
