INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Installation
The Wireless Matrix MBS2-LP modem is mounted to a vehicle and wired in order to:
• Draw power from the vehicle to power the unit
• Connect the unit to a Client Side Computer (CSC) for data transmission/receipt purposes
Installation instructions for the MBS2-LP, while not complex, are detailed, and are included in a
separate installation manual (MBS2 LP Install Guide, MBUD-0110v1.2, dated 10/17/06). Please
consult this manual if you need to install the MBS2-LP unit.
To verify the MBS2-LP unit is operational; ensure the following items:
1. Move the vehicle to an area where there are no obstructions to the southern
exposure for the Wireless Matrix MBS2-LP.
2. Check the cable connections to the MBS2-LP and verify it is securely connected.
MBS2-LP Operation
The operation of the MBS2-LP is passive. It will activate in order to send data, which is triggered
by use of an application on the Client Side Computer for such purposes. It will also activate when
it receives a remote request (such as when it is polled for vehicle information), or receives data
(such as a message from a dispatcher). In addition, because the unit will automatically select the
best routing for messages without user intervention, the user does not need to interact with the
unit to select a communications method.
In this regard, there is no activity that the vehicle operator must undertake with the MBS2-LP unit.
Equipment Failure or Damage
If the MBS2-LP unit suffers a mechanical failure or is damaged during the course of the program,
please notify Customer Care as soon as possible. Equipment that is returned damaged or in
non-working order without prior notification will be the responsibility of the program participant.
