Install the MP modem

Step 1—Mount the MP modem

Note: Power off the MP

modem, your computer,

and any other devices

while you are connecting

cables.

If you are using the MP modem in a vehicle, it is usually mounted in the trunk, but

other possibilities are under the dashboard or a seat.

Select a location for the MP modem

When selecting a mounting location, remember the following:

• Do not expose the MP modem to weather and environmental conditions

beyond the ranges listed in the environmental specifications. Avoid excessive

heat from the engine compartment, heaters, or the exhaust system, and

extreme cold from direct contact with air conditioners or other cooling

systems. Never immerse it in any liquid.

• If you are replacing an MP modem, you can mount the new MP modem in the

same location using the existing mounting holes.

• Every device connected to the MP modem, as well as the MP modem itself,

should be grounded. (See Ground the MP modem on page 30 and Ground

the power harness on page 35.)

• Route cables to their destinations without using excess wiring.

• Make sure all connectors and the reset button are easy to reach and the

indicator lights are visible.

Mounting the MP modem

To mount the MP modem:

1. Use the provided mounting template to mark the location of the mounting

holes.

2. Drill 5/32" pilot holes (unless you are reusing holes from a previous MP

modem mounting).
