Cellular Card Configuration
Your JBM Gateway is able to detect many cellular cards, but others must still be
configured manually. If you are using either one of the older 1xRTT/CDMA cards, or a
GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA card that requires the use of a userid, password, and APN, you will
need to configure your car manually, as covered in the next section.
If you are using any of these cards you will need to work through this section:
GPRS/Edge/HSDPA
Sierra Wireless: 750, 775, 860
Sony Ericsson: GC-83
If you are using one of the newer 1xRTT/1xEVDO, USB Serial based cards, your JBM
gateway has probably automatically detected, configured, and activated your cellular
connection for you, so you can skip this section and proceed to the next section to verify
your cellular connectivity.
If you are using any of these cards you can skip this section:
1xRTT/1xEVDO
Audiovox/UTSStarcom: 5740
Kyocera: KPC-650
Novatel: S/V-620, S/V-720
Sierra Wireless: 555, 580, 5220
Navigate through the GAU menus to the screen Cellular Configuration Screen shown
below:

Step 2: Set the Userid, password and APN
• If you are using a GPRS, Edge, or HSDPA based card, enter the userid, password,
and APN that was provided by your cellular carrier. This information should
have been packaged with your card. If you do not have this information please
contact your carrier account representative or the carrier’ support department
before proceeding.
Note: The userid, password, and APN are case specific. Be certain that you use the
exact information as provided by your carrier.
Step 3: Save and Apply the Configuration
• Click the “Save” button to permanently save the configuration.
• Click the “Apply” button to activate the configuration.
Verify Cellular Connectivity
At this point, if you previously verified that your aircard worked properly in your
PC/laptop, and have been accessing the GAU to configure your JBM gateway via its’
browser, you should be able to access the Internet.
• Open a browser on the PC/Laptop, and attempt to browse the Internet.

Note: Depending on the provisioning of your card, particularly in corporate
applications in which the JBM Gateway is providing cellular backup connectivity
to wired circuits, your card may be restricted from Internet access. If this is the
case, you may want to instead test to insure that you are able to access your
corporate network. If you have any question as to your configuration please
check with your network administration.
If you were able to successfully access you’re the Internet, or your corporate network,
then congratulations, your JBM Gateway is up and running and you have successfully
completed the Quick Start. You may skip the troubleshooting section that follows.
If you were unable to access the Internet, or your corporate network, the section that
follows will help you to determine the cause of your difficulties.
Cellular Connectivity Troubleshooting
If you are reading this section, you have followed all of our instructions so far and your
JBM Gateway is not communicating. This section is intended to give you some
additional things to check in order to isolate the cause of your difficulties.
Cellular Reception
Before we get into specifics regarding how to identify and address specific problems that
can be encountered, it is important that we spend a moment talking about cellular signal
reception, and appropriate expectations.
All of the major cellular carriers expend significant sums insuring that we have excellent
signal coverage within their coverage areas. However, they have no control over the
environments in which we attempt to place or use our cellular devices.
The principles behind cellular data reception are similar to cellular phone reception.
Therefore, our environment has the potential to significantly impact our ability to receive
a good quality cellular signal.
You should be aware that it is possible to stand in the parking lot of a building and have
perfect reception, but walk just 10 feet inside a concrete and steel building and have
absolutely no reception at all.
The important thing to understand here is that in many, many instances it is not the
cellular network that causes us reception problems, but the environment in which we
place our cellular devices.
For this reason, JBM Electronics strongly recommends the use of external antennas
when implementing cellular data. It can make the difference between an implementation
that works and one that doesn’t.

Verifying IP Connectivity
First, let’s check to make sure that you card is connecting to the cellular network and
obtaining an IP address. Navigate to the GAU screen shown below:
If your screen looks similar to the one shown above, you are having signal reception
difficulties. As you will notice, the card is neither connected to the cellular network, nor
has it been able to obtain an IP address from the network.
You can further verify this condition by examining the LED signal meter on the left side
of the front panel of the device as shown in the picture below:
If the top and bottom LEDs are flashing the device is not receiving sufficient signal from
the cellular towers in order to be able to connect to the network. Typically, 2-3 LEDs of
reception are a minimum requirement for a sustainable connection.

Minimal Reception
On occasion, you can find yourself in a situation where you have just enough signal to be
able to communicate with the cellular tower, and obtain an IP address, but not enough
reception to be able to sustain a viable connection.
If your cellular card is using dynamically assigned IP addresses, you can determine if you
are in a situation like this by watching the “Current Interface Address” and “Current Peer
Address” fields in the screen below:
If you refresh this screen every few minutes and notice that the “Current Interface
Address” is changing frequently, it is very possible that your device is connecting to the
network and obtaining and IP address, and then the connection to the cellular network is
being dropped. When the connection is re-established the device is then issued a
different IP address.
In this situation an external antenna can boost the signal enough to provide a sustainable
cellular connection.
Authentication Issues
If you are using a GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA card, and have at least three LEDs of signal on
the front panel signal meter, your radio connection to the network may be just fine. The
problem may lie in logging onto the cellular network.
Return to the screen shown below:

Re-verify your userid, password, and APN information. Be sure to pay close attention, as
all three of these items are case specific and must be entered exactly in order to properly
log into the cellular network.
Don’t forget to click “Save” and “Apply” if you make any changes.
JBM Technical Support
If you have followed all of the instructions up to this point, have satisfied yourself that
you are not having an authentication problem, are convinced that you have sufficient
reception, and your gateway is still not communicating, then it is time to contact JBM
Technical Support at 800-489-7781 and we will be happy to assist you in getting your
gateway up, running, and operational.
