    4. Once the vehicle detection has completed the vehicle ignition can then be turned off. 5.3 Installation Verification In many cases it is desirable to verify that an installed LMU-3030™ is working properly. That is, installers should verify that the GPS and communications functions of the LMU-3030™ are working properly before departing the installation site.
  • Page 25 If any of the responses return Not-Acquired or Not-Registered (and the APN is correct), the wireless network operator should be contacted for further troubleshooting. Please note that it may take several seconds (or longer) for the LMU-3030™ to communicate with the modem and acquire the wireless network.
  • Page 26 5.3.3 Inbound Verification The last item to verify is that the LMU-3030™ is sending data to the correct server. In general, this is a two-step process that will need the aid of an observer on the back end. That is, a technician will have to be logged in so they can monitor data coming into the backend mapping/vehicle management application.
