Page 35: Activating A Gsm Lmu Using At Commands
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 3.8 Activating a GSM LMU using AT Commands For a GSM/GPRS operator you will get the LMU in one of two varieties, one with a SIM and one without. If you get an LMU without a SIM (which is the typical case) the operator will simply ask for the IMEI of the LMU.
Page 36 LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide The last item an operator may provide is a SIM PIN. The PIN is effectively a password to the device. The main difference here is that the PIN will restrict all the capabilities of the GSM device, where the SPC is used just for configuration.
Page 37: Accessing The Sim
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 3.9 Accessing the SIM The following instructions should be used when attempting to access the SIM in a GSM LMU-2x30™. When opening the LMU-2x20™ take care to not to touch the GPS Patch Antenna as an accidental ESD discharges may render it inoperable.

Page 39: Installing The Lmu
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4 Installing the LMU The installation of the LMU and its antennas can have a major impact on the LMU’s performance. It is recommended that installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a vehicle environment. 4.1 Preparing for Installation Be sure you have received all the LMU components you need.
Page 40: Plan The Installation
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide Plan The Installation Verify Power, Ground and Ignition. Be sure to check each source (power, ground and ignition) to ensure that the proper signaling exists. This is typically accomplished with a multi-meter. Before drilling any holes or running any wires, decide where each hardware component will be located (LMU, antennas, peripherals, etc.).
Page 41: Placement Of Antennas
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.2.2 Placement of Antennas There are effectively three options for placements of an antenna:  Roof-mount (magnetic or thru-hole)  Glass-mount  Covert (e.g. under the seat, dash, etc…) CalAmp offers three antennas for customers to purchase: ...
Page 42 LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.2.2.1 Comm Antenna Placement Guidelines The Comm. Antenna must be located at least 20cm away from vehicle passengers, other personnel, or bystanders in order to comply with FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Typically, the Comm antenna used by the LMU for wireless service is a standard 3-dB gain whip.
Page 43 LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide prevent the GPS receiver from operating properly. When laying out the antenna cable, care should be taken so that the cable is not subjected to crushing or strain. 4.2.2.3 Placement of Combination and Internal Antennas When dealing with combination antennas, it is more important to considered GPS performance over Comm performance.
Page 44: Access To The Sim (Subscriber Identity Module) Card
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.2.3 Access to the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) Card When used in a GSM or iDEN network, each LMU uses a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, which should be inserted before you install the LMU for the first time. The SIM card is attached to the main-board inside the housing of the LMU unit.
Page 45 LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide Two common methods are the use of Tamper Proof Sealant or creation of PEG Script to detect power loss or GPS antenna disconnections. V1.0.10 December 12, 2010 Copyright ©Calamp Wireless Networks Inc 2010 CalAmp Proprietary & Confidential - 37 -...
Page 46: Installing The Lmu In A Vehicle
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.3 Installing the LMU in a Vehicle This section provides instructions for installing an LMU in a vehicle. Be sure to consider the design decisions described in the previous sections. When you are ready to begin installing the LMU, follow these steps: 4.3.1 Place the LMU unit in the vehicle.
Page 47: Mount The Comm. Antenna
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide Kinks or knots in the antenna cable can prevent the GPS receiver from operating properly. When laying out the antenna cable, take care that the cable is not subjected to crushing or strain. The ideal location is typically near the center of the vehicle’s roof. However, it is also desirable to locate the cellular antenna as far from the GPS antenna as possible.
Page 48: Typical Connection Sequence
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide Figure 18 - Window Mount Antenna Location 4.3.5 Typical Connection Sequence  Attach the cable from the GPS antenna.  Connect the cable from the Comm.. antenna  Connect any peripherals to the LMU  Plug in the power harness. The physical installation of the LMU hardware is now complete.

Page 51: Ignition And Inputs
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.4.1 Ignition and Inputs The LMU-2x30™ provides up to 5 external inputs and one internal. The external inputs are protected from typical vehicle transients and can be directly connected to most vehicle level logical inputs from 4 volts up to the vehicle power input level (typically 12 VDC). Their input impedance is approximately 10k.
Page 53: 3-Axis Accelerometer Input
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.4.2 3-Axis Accelerometer Input The LMU-2x30™ supports an internal 3 Axis Precision Accelerometer as one of its discreet inputs. When the LMU is moved in any direction, the associated input will be in the High state.
Page 54: Status Leds
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.4.4 Status LEDs The LMU-2x30™ is equipped with two Status LEDs, one for GPS and one for COMM (wireless network status). The LEDs use the following blink patterns to indicate service: LED #1 (Comm LED - Orange) Definitions Condition LED 1 Modem Off...
Page 55: Installation Verification
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.5 Installation Verification In many cases it is desirable to verify that an installed LMU-2x30™ is working properly. That is, installers should verify that the GPS and communications functions of the LMU- 2x30™ are working properly before departing the installation site. In more robust cases, some key configuration settings such as the Inbound Address and URL should also be verified.
Page 56: Gps Verification
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.5.2 GPS Verification The next step is to verify that the GPS receiver is seeing enough satellites to obtain a valid GPS position. Again, installers have two choices on how to perform this verification. First, like the Comm Verification, there is a GPS status LED (i.e., the one closest to the SMA connector).
Page 57: Inbound Verification
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.5.3 Inbound Verification The last item to verify is that the LMU-2x30™ 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.
Page 58: Verification Via Sms
LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide 4.5.4 Verification via SMS The current Comm, GPS and Inbound status of a GSM LMU can be obtained via SMS provided you have access to an SMS capable phone or PDA. Using your handset, send the following SMS Message to the LMU: Within a few minutes, the LMU should return a response in the following format: APP: <App ID>...
Page 59 LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide o [./L]: This field indicates if the LMU’s log is currently active. An ‘L’ indicates that the log is currently in use (i.e. one or more records have been stored) where a ‘.’ indicates the log is inactive. o [IP Address]: This is an optional field if and is only present if the LMU has established a valid data session.
Page 60 LMU-2x20™ Hardware and Installation Guide o <mobile ID type>: This will be the type of Mobile ID in use by the LMU. The available types are, Off, ESN, IMEI, IMSI, USER, MIN and IP ADDRESS.  INB: o <inbound IP address>: This is the current IP address in use by the LMU.
