This Quick Start guide provides step-by-step directions for activating

your PinPoint X on AT&T’s network.

Tip:

For additional configuration options, refer to the User Guide for your

PinPoint X.

Installing the SIM

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the PinPoint X is a

smartcard that securely stores the key identifying a cellular

subscriber. Generally, you will only need to install a SIM once in the

life of the modem and it may be pre-installed by your Sierra Wireless

Representative.

If the SIM was pre-installed, unless you need to set a custom APN,

activation of your modem is complete. Skip to the PinPoint X

Placement section and/or to the DUN instructions, if you need Dial-

Up Networking.

Cellular Account Required

• Cellular Account Required- To use your modem, you need to

have a SIM with an active account with your cellular provider.

Software Required

• ACEmanager - Graphical interface for entering most AT

Commands. You can download ACEmanager from the Sierra

Wireless AirLink Solutions website: http://

www.sierrawireless.com/support/. A default installation of this

utility is assumed later in these directions

Configuring the APN

The APN (Access Point Name) is the way your device knows how it will be

communicating with the network. The APN allows custom IP addressing and

tailoring your company's wireless IP solution to meet the security and IP

addressing requirements of your applications.

Note: Most accounts use the default addressing solution of Private or Public IP addresses

supplied by the Internet and Proxy APNs. Only if you have a Static or Custom IP address

should you need to configure a custom APNs.

The default APN is Internet. If you need a different APN, use ACEmanager to

configure it.

Hardware Installation

Note: During installation,

please be sure that the

cables are secure but do

not bear any additional

weight that could loosen

the connector from the

unit.

Your PinPoint X should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the

cables so they are not bent, constricted, in close proximity to high amperage, or

exposed to extreme temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible

for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that there is adequate

airflow around the modem but that it is kept free from direct exposure to the

elements, such as sun, rain, dust, etc.

Caution:

The PinPoint X is in a hardened case and designed for use in industrial and

extreme environments. However, unless you are using cables expressly designed for such

environments, they can fail if exposed to the same conditions the PinPoint X can

withstand.

Figure 0-5: PinPoint X Connectors

Rev 3.0C Mar.10 27

Cellular

Note: This device is not

intended for use within

close proximity of the

human body. Antenna

installation should provide

for at least a 20 CM

separation from the

operator.

Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard

installation configuration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring

long lengths of cable and/or multiple connections), it’s imperative that the installer

follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in accordance with the radio communications

regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada,

or your country’s regulatory body (if used outside the US).

Your PinPoint X will work with most cellular antennas with a connector. Connect

the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly to the antenna connector on the

back of the PinPoint X.

Tip:

When using a cable to an antenna placed away from the modem, minimize the length

of your cable. All gain from a more advantageous antenna placement can be lost with a

long cable to the modem.

Your PinPoint X will work with most standard active GPS antennas. Connect the

GPS antenna or cable directly to the threaded SMA connector.

Mount the GPS Antenna in the vehicle. The less the cable is wrapped and bound

together, the better it will perform. Place it on the roof, or on the dash, or rear

panel where it has a good view of the sky (greater than a 90 angle view of the

sky).

There are three options for antenna mounts:

•Magnetic roof-mount

•Through glass-mount

•Permanent mount

Figure 0-6: GPS Antenna Placement for a Vehicle

Warning:

Risk of electric shock: Only use the supply voltages listed in this user guide.

PinPoint X HSUPA/HSDPA

28 20070914

Warning:

When using AC to DC adapter the ambient temperature should not exceed

Your PinPoint X can be used with either DC or AC, with the appropriate power

adapter. DC cables and AC adapters are available as optional accessories in

addition to the one included with your PinPoint X.

The DC power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power

source positive terminal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to

the battery or power source negative terminal.

The battery cable used for a car, truck, or other mobile connection must be less

than 3 meters in length.

The PinPoint X has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0

amps of current.

If you wish to use the Standby Ignition Sense (SISE) feature of your PinPoint X,

the white wire of the three wire DC power cable should be used to connect to your

ignition. When SISE is enabled in the modem and the ignition sense connector is

wired to your vehicle, the ignition sense will provide a link to the modem to enable

it to enter a low-power, standby mode when your vehicle is turned off and power

up more quickly when the ignition is started.

Figure 0-7: Ignition Sense power connector

Warning:

Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been

switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.

Connecting to a Computer or other

Device

Figure 0-8: Ethernet

The Ethernet port of your PinPoint X can be connected directly to a computer or

other Ethernet device with either a cross-over cable or a straight-through cable.

The Ethernet port on the PinPoint X is auto-sensing and will auto-detect the

speed of the connecting device for 100baseTX or 10baseT. If you are connecting

the modem to a hub or switch you should use a straight through cable or use the

uplink port on the hub or switch with a cross-over cable.

Figure 0-9: Serial

The serial port of your PinPoint X can be connected directly to most computers or

other devices using a standard straight through cable. If you have a DCE device,

you will need a null modem or null modem cable.

Figure 0-10: USB

Your PinPoint X’s full-speed (12 Mbit) USB 2.0 port can be connected directly to

most computers or other devices using a standard full-speed USB 2.0 cable. If the

computer or device you are connecting or the cable is not rated for full-speed, the

modem will communicate at a reduced speed to match. The PinPoint X functions

as a device, not a host.

When it is connected to a computer, the USB port should be seen as a COM port

or Ethernet port after the applicable driver is installed.

The PinPoint X has a standard B connector.

Figure 0-11: I/O

Your PinPoint X also has an I/O port with digital inputs, analog inputs, and relay

outputs which can be connected to external devices.

The I/O port can use an optional I/O harness available through Sierra Wireless.

Indicator Lights

When solid, PinPoint X indicates a successful connection. When your PinPoint X

is connected to power and an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights to

indicate its operation mode.

PinPoint X HSUPA/HSDPA

Figure 0-12: PinPoint X Indicator lights

•Network- Indicates a successful connection to the cellular network with an

IP address given and a channel acquired.

• Signal - Light shows the strength of the signal and may be nearly solid

(strong signal) or flashing (weaker signal). A slow flash indicates a very weak

signal.

•Activity- Lights will flash as data is transferred to and from the PinPoint

modem on the remote network.

• Service - Indicates when the connection is HSUPA/HSDPA or UMTS. Unlit

indicates EDGE or GPRS.

•GPS- Indicates a GPS fix. When lit, the PinPoint X has GPS coordinates to

report.

•Power- Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power getting

to the PinPoint X.

•The Reset button (on the left side of the PinPoint X) has two functions. If it is

quickly depressed and released, the modem will simply power cycle the

internal hardware. If, however, the reset is depressed and held for several

seconds (count 10 slowly, and wait for the power light to go off after the light

pattern stops), the ALEOS configuration settings will return to the factory

defaults.

Optional: Setting up a DUN Connection

Dial-up Networking (DUN) allows a computer or other device to use the serial port

or ethernet port on your PinPoint X to connect to the Internet or private network

using PPP just like an analog modem using a standard phone line.

Caution:

To install any driver on your computer, you may need to be logged in as Admin-

istrator or have Administrator privileges for your login.

Microsoft Windows XP is used in the examples below. The modem driver

installation and DUN setup and configuration is similar in Microsoft Windows

products. Examples are not provided here for installing the driver or configuring

DUN for any other operating system.

Standard installations of Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 include a generic

device driver which will work with your PinPoint X.

1. Connect the PinPoint X.

a. Connect the device to the computer with a DB-9 cable or the USB port in

serial mode.

b. Plug in the AC adapter, connect the antenna(s) and power on the device.

2. Install the driver.

a. Select Start > Control Panel > Phone and device Options (in Classic

View).
