[edit][top]1 Introduction Welcome to the LMU-3050™ Hardware and Installation Guide.
▪ System Overview – A basic description of a CalAmp LMU-3050™ based tracking system. This includes a description of roles and responsibilities of each of the CalAmp components as well as a brief overview of the wireless data technologies used by the LMU-3050™. ▪ Hardware Overview – Describes the physical characteristics and interfaces of the LMU-3050™.
Flexibility The LMU-3050™ features CalAmp's industry leading advanced on-board alert engine that monitors vehicle conditions giving you the most flexible tracking device in its class. The PEG™ (Programmable Event Generator) application supports hundreds of customized exception-based rules to help meet customers' dynamic requirements. Customers can modify the behavior of the device to meet with a range of applications preprogrammed before shipment or in the field.
▪ An LM Direct™ communications server ▪ Backend mapping and reporting software which typically includes mapping and fleet reporting functions ▪ PULS™ ▪ LMU Manager™ Basic System Architecture 2.2 Component Descriptions 2.2.1 Wireless Data Network The Wireless Data Network provides the information bridge between the LM Direct™ server and the LMU-3050™. Wireless data networks can take a variety of forms, such as cellular networks, satellite systems or local area networks.
2.2.2 LMU-3050™ The LMU-3050™ is responsible for delivering the location and status information when and where it is needed.
(OTA) and allows CalAmp customers to monitor unit health status across your customers’ fleets to quickly identify issues before they become expensive problems. 2.2.6 LMU Manager™ LMU Manager is the primary configuration tool in the CalAmp system. It allows access to almost every feature available to the LMU-3050™. Unlike the backend software, it has the option of talking directly to an LMU-3050™ or making a request forwarded by the LM Direct™ server.
When handling the LMU-3050’s™ main-board (i.e. sub assembly) by itself or in a partial housing proper ESD precautions should be taken. The handler should be in an ESD safe area and be properly grounded. GPS Ceramic Patch Handling When handling the sub assembly it may be natural to pick it up by sides and make contact with the antenna boards. In an uncontrolled ESD environment contact with the center pin of ceramic patch antenna can create a path for electrostatic discharge directly to the GPS Module.
3.1.3 Environmental Specifications The LMU-3050™ is designed to operate in environments typically encountered by fleet vehicles, including wide temperature extremes, voltage transients, and potential interference from other vehicle equipment. To ensure proper operation in such an environment, the LMU-3050™ was subjected to standard tests defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The specific tests included temperature, shock, vibration, and EMI/EMC.

Please note that only 9 out of the 16 connector pins are actually populated on the connector.
3.2.2 Serial Adapter LMU Serial Cable (Part Number 133337) This is the standard serial cable used with most LMU products. LMU™ Serial Adapter It only connects to the LMU-2000™ products thru an adapter (i.e. the 5C332). Serial Cable Adapter (Part Number 5C332) This accessory allows users to connect the standard LMU serial cable to the LMU-2000™. 3.2.3 Accessories See the Harness Diagrams page for more information on LMU accessories, and supported products table. 3.
3.3.1 Three-Axis accelerometer input the LMU-3050™ 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. If the LMU’s accelerometer does not detect motion, then the input will be in the Low state. No external connections are required for this functionality to be operational. 3.3.

AT$APP PARAM 768,0,ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd (32-bit products only) AT$APP PARAM 769,0,ppppp Where ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd is the publicly addressable IPV4 address of your LM Direct™ server and ppppp is the UDP port number. 4. Alternatively if a URL has been set up for your LM Direct™ server, the LMU may be programmed with: AT$APP PARAM 2319,0,myURL.MyCompany.Com Where myURL.MyCompany.com is the URL assigned to the server. 5. Enter ATIC to verify the correct settings are displayed for your Inbound Server.
4.2 Auto provisioning of GSM or HSPA LMUs For certain operators, the LMU can auto-populate the APN, username and password settings based on the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the Mobile Network Code (MNC) of the SIM. Upon inserting a new SIM the APN, username and password will switch to the new SIM card's defaults if the MCC and MNC values change.
T-Mobile (MCC 310, MNC 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31, 58, 66, 80) o APN 0: INTERNET2.VOICESTREAM.COM o APN 1: INTERNET3.VOICESTREAM.COM T-Mobile UK (MCC 234, MNC 30,31,32) o APN 0 & 1: general.t-mobile.uk o Username: user o Password: wap TelCel Mexico (MCC 334 MNC 02) o APN 0 & 1: INTERNET.ITELCEL.COM o Username: webgprs o Password: webgprs2002 Telstra Australia (MCC 505, MNC 01, 11, 71, 72) o APN 0 & 1: telstra.internet Vodafone Ireland (MCC 272, MNC 01) o APN 0 & 1: isp.vodafone.
AT$APP PARAM 1024,35,1,1 To re-enable auto-provisioning, use: AT$APP PARAM 1024,35,1,0 Auto-provisioning occurs when the LMU detects a SIM with a new operator ID (i.e. the first 6 digits of the IMSI) or when Bit 0 of S155 is cleared and the GPRS context is blank (i.e. Parameter 2306,0). 4.3 Activating GSM or HSPA LMU using AT Commands Check with the CalAmp Sales team for availability of the LMU-3050™ with GSM or HSPA modems.
The last item an operator may provide is a SIM PIN. The PIN is effectively a password to the device. The main difference here is that the PIN will restrict all the capabilities of the GSM device, where the SPC is used just for configuration. The activation sequence for a GSM LMU would therefore look as follows: AT$APP PARAM 2306,0,“myAPN.myOperator.com” AT$APP PARAM 2306,1,“myAPN.myOperator.
Phone Number: GPRS APN: IP:Public Quality of Srvc: 1,0,0,3,0,0 GSM Class: B The following instructions should be used when attempting to access the SIM in a GSM LMU-3050™. 1. Remove the top plate of the LMU-3050™. The LMU-3050™’s enclosure is held together by 4 plastic clips. To remove the cover, squeeze the top plate of the LMU near the VBus header and pull up then repeat this action near the SIM cover. 2. Remove the top-plate to expose the top-side of the LMU-3050™’s main-board. 3.
4.5 Activating a CDMA LMU-3050™ Check with the CalAmp Sales team for availability of the LMU-3050™ with CDMA modems. For CDMA devices, the activation sequence you will use varies from carrier to carrier. Each of the supported carriers is documented below. To obtain an account, a CDMA carrier will generally ask for three things, the Manufacturer, the Product Type and the ESN. Obviously the first two items are answered by “CalAmp LMU”. The last one is a little misleading.
1. Power on the LMU-3050™, making sure you can observe the behavior of the Comm LED. 2. Wait until the Comm LED turns solid. This could take up to 5 minutes. 3. If after 5 minutes you observe that the Comm LED transitions from a slow blink to a fast blink several times (i.e. more than twice) you will need to contact Verizon Wireless for further support on account activation. Once configured, you may verify that the LMU-3050™’s modem has registered to the CDMA network.
Keep in mind, however, this may cause the modem to lose its credentials and become unable to register to the network. 4.5.2 Activating a CDMA LMU-3050™ – Sprint Activating an LMU-3050™ on the Sprint CDMA network is identical to activating on the Verizon network. 1. Power on the LMU-3050™, making sure you can observe the behavior of the Comm LED. 2. Wait until the Comm LED turns solid. This could take up to 5 minutes. 3.
5 Installing the LMU 5.1 Preventing Accidental or Unauthorized Modification If you anticipate that fleet drivers or others might interfere with the LMUs once they are installed, take steps to be sure that it is not easy to remove the LMU from its power source, etc. Two common methods are the use of Tamper Proof Sealant or creation of PEG Script to detect power loss or GPS antenna disconnections. 5.2 Installing the LMU in a vehicle 1. Make sure the vehicle is turned on/running when plugging in the unit.
VIN: OBDII Protocol:5 Params:0,1,4,7,8,11,12 Indicators:0(000000000011),1(11111111111) The SMS command to check vehicle detection status: !VV The vehicle detection complete response will look like: -Veh DetYes VIN: Proto:5 Params:0,1,4,7,8,11,12 Inds:0(000000000011),1(11111111111) DTCs Cnt:7 Flt Mtch:1 4. Once the vehicle detection has completed the vehicle ignition can then be turned off. 5.
If the LED is not visible, then Comm may be verified using an AT Command: ATIC Depending on the wireless network being used something similar to what is shown below will be displayed. It is important to verify that 'Yes' values are displayed at the top for Data and Network registration and the correct APN is displayed. Radio Access : GSM Network Reg. : Yes, Home Data Reg.
5.3.2 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). If this LED is solid, then the LMU has found GPS service.
INBOUND 3 ADDR 0.0.0.0:20500 The installer will need to verify with a backend technician that the, URL (myURL.myCompany.com ), IP address (ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd) and port () are correct. The second step is to verify that the LMU-3050™ is sending data. The best way to do this is to force the LMU-3050™ to send in an unacknowledged Event Report (i.e.
o : The current firmware version in use by the LMU ▪ COM: o : This is the signal strength the wireless modem sees from the network. In general the LMU is at least scanning for the network if the RSSI is not -113. o [./d/D]: If the character ‘D’ is present, it indicates the LMU had a data session established when it responded to the status request. For the 8-Bit product line an upper case ‘D’ indicates both the Inbound and Maintenance sockets are ready.
This field, if present, indicates a problem with the LMU’s GPS antenna. A value of Short indicates that the antenna cable has likely been crushed. A value of Open indicates that the antenna cable is either cut or disconnected. A value of Off indicates that the LMU’ GPS receiver is off. - [No Time Sync]: If this field is present, it indicates that the LMU’s GPS receiver has not been able to find even a single GPS satellite.
o : This is the current UDP port the LMU will use to deliver its LM Direct™ data. This value should match UDP port you are using on your LM Direct™ server. It is typically 20500. o : This is the current UDP/IP messaging protocol in use by the LMU. In general it should be LMD. Example GSM Response APP:081 8.3d COM:0 GPS:No Time Sync INP:11100111 13.7V MID:4141000100 ESN INB:207.7.101.
