1.2 What is the oMG
The Four Port oMG is a ruggedized edge server computer and wireless gateway,
designed for use in harsh mobile and portable environments. The gateway extends
the utility and convenience of LAN networking to vehicular environments and
response sites. Through the integration of Ethernet, 802.11/Wi-Fi, third generation
(3G) cellular networks and fourth generation (4G) LTE networks, the Gateway is a
truly mobile solution.
1.3 Before Installing
This manual assumes that the appropriate wide area network (WAN) interface card is
already installed in the oMG base unit and that your cellular network provider has
activated the card.
In most cases, the WAN interface card is already present when you purchase the
system. If you need to install this card yourself, refer to one of the oMG modem
installation guides, available at source.sierrawireless.com.
1.4 Installation Overview
The oMG can be installed in any type of vehicle. Sierra Wireless has designed the
oMG system to be simple to install. The system is preconfigured with the appropriate
software and firmware—no software installation or setup is required.
To install the oMG system, you need to mount the base unit and the WAN antenna
and connect the base unit to a 12V DC or 24V DC power source.
Sierra Wireless recommends that a professional vehicle electronics installer, perform
the installation. Professional installers are better able to tailor the procedure to meet
the specific requirements for each vehicle.
