Step 6 (Optional)—Connect the Vehicle Bus
Cable
The LX60 collects vehicle data through an OBD-II or J1939 connection from a vehicle's
diagnostic port to the LX60 Aux I/O port. Accessory cables for either connection type are
available separately from Sierra Wireless. See
After Vehicle Data Collection is enabled in ACEmanager, the router sends data to AirLink
Mobility Manager (AMM 2.16 or later).
Note: Reporting of vehicle telemetry data from the direct vehicle connection to AirLink Management
Service (ALMS) or 3rd party applications is supported in AVTA (AirLink Vehicle Telemetry Appli-
cation version 1.1 or later). AVTA is an AAF application that is used to send telemetry data to a 3rd
party server.
Note: An LX60 with Wi-Fi + GNSS running ALEOS 4.13.0 or later does not require a separate
scanner for reporting of vehicle telemetry data (a Sierra Wireless AirLink Vehicle Telemetry kit,
which includes an OBD-II scanner, is not required). Do not connect an additional scanner or other
device to the vehicle bus during normal operation. When doing vehicle maintenance that requires
connecting a diagnostic tool, it is recommended to disable the ALEOS setting Direct Vehicle Bus
(CAN) Data Collection on the LX60.
To connect the LX60 with a vehicle bus cable:
1. Verify that the LX60 is running ALEOS Software Version 4.13.0 or later.
2. Ensure that both the LX60 and the vehicle are powered off.
3. Locate the OBD-II or J1939 port in the vehicle. The OBD-II port is an electrical socket
4. Attach the OBD-II or J1939 connector on the cable to the port in the vehicle.
5. Route the cable through the vehicle to where the LX60 is mounted.
6. Connect the 8-pin connector on the vehicle bus cable to the Auxiliary I/O port on the
7. Power on the router. Check that the Power, Signal, Network, and GNSS LEDs are lit
