DCM-300 Installation

Considerations Before Install § What is modem going to be used for? § This impacts decisions for: Ø Power connection Ø Modem location/visibility

DCM-300 LED Lights Green LED: Power & Telematics GPS Status Amber LED: Cellular & Wi -Fi Status

DCM-300 LED Status § Blink is 1 second on/1 second off § Slow blink is 3 seconds on / 3 seconds off § Fast blink is 200 milliseconds on / 200 milliseconds off § Note – The amber light will blink if modem has not been activated with cellular service; display will report wireless signal strength if cellular service is available.

Power Connection Options Two options for connecting modem to power: 1. Harnessing to connect to a Trimble power bus. 2. Harnessing to connect to battery power and key switch power. Note: if modem is to be used with Connected Farm Vehicle Manager/asset tracking, power option 2 is recommended for constant vehicle tracking.

DCM-300 Power Installation Options R Terminal Connection CAN Connection Switch Power Direct to Battery Power Bus Connection

Power Bus Connection Install 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Very easy to hook up. No need to route cables outside the cab. Modem is only on when the display is on. Good solution for VRS/NTRIP connections. Incomplete tracking abilities for Vehicle Manager since modem doesn’t have access to constant power.

Direct to Battery / Switch Power Install 1. Route power harness direct to battery. 2. Connect switch power wire to 12 V power source. Ø If switch power wire is not attached, modem will power on for 15 minutes and then go into low power mode and only report every 6 hours. It will not go back into full power mode without a signal from a switch input. If this is not done, the system will not operate correctly. Ø Likewise, if the switch power wire is run to the battery, modem will remain in full power mode at all times and ultimately drain the battery.

R Terminal Connection Hookup 1. Connect the R Terminal to alternator for accurate count of engine hours with Vehicle Manager. Ø Option not necessary if machine is using CAN connection that reports engine hours

Takeaway Points § Cabling that connects the DCM-300 modem to an Fm. X / CFX-750 display is the same for both VRS corrections and Connected Farm Office Sync. § The GPS patch antenna (included) is recommended but not required for the modem unless you are using Vehicle Manager asset tracking service. § The modem has 3 different unlock codes that are stored on the modem itself, not on the display. They are: – File transfer, VRS corrections, Internet, and Wi-Fi – Ag Bus vehicle bus config (for Telematics) – Cellular parameter modification (This unlock enables you to enter and edit SIM card settings if you need to activate the DCM-300 G modem for a third-party cellular provider. )

Takeaway Points § Note – If the DCM-300 modem is not unlocked for File Transfer, VRS, Internet, and Wi-Fi, the modem will not connect to a Ag. GPS 262/372 receiver. – The Ag. GPS 262 receiver must have version 2. 0 firmware or higher and use the same setup option as an Ag 3000 modem in the RTK Configuration settings. § The Fm. X / CFX-750 display does not need to be unlocked for RTK if you are only using Connected Farm Office Sync service. § The Fm. X / CFX-750 display must be unlocked to RTK level if you are using the modem for VRS corrections.

Takeaway Points § The DCM-300 modem saves some settings internally and can be set up for VRS corrections through one display and later transferred for use with another display. § The modem holds its configuration and transfers it to the second display on power up as long as the second display is unlocked for RTK. § If there is no communication between the modem and the display, try the following: – Make sure that the display can “see” the DCM-300 modem from the Unlock screen three minutes after startup. If the DCM-300 option appears in the Unlock screen the display is communicating successfully with the DCM-300 modem. – Make sure the Fm. X integrated display is connected to the modem using the supplied USB hub and that the green LED light on the USB Hub is solid.

Takeaway Points – The CFX-750 display does not require a USB hub but it is recommended. – Make sure that the USB port on the Fm. X/CFX display is working correctly. – To check this, insert a USB drive into the back of the display—if the display recognizes the USB drive or allows you to load firmware into the display the USB port is working correctly. – Note – The USB port will either work for everything or not work for anything. – Check power connections to the DCM-300 modem. The power lead must be connected to a constant 12 V source and the ignition lead must be connected to a switched 12 V source for operation. – Make sure that cable P/N 82033 (connecting the USB hub to the modem) has no faults or breaks.

DCM-300 Setup for Ag 262/372 § Communication between the DCM-300 modem and an Ag. GPS 262/372 receiver § Make sure that the following is correct: – The Ag. GPS 262/372 receiver has version 2. 0 firmware or higher, is unlocked for RTK, and has been configured for communication to an AG 3000 modem. – Cable P/N 82133 from the DCM-300 modem is connected to port B on the Ag. GPS 262/ AG-372 receiver. – Port B is configured for RTKLINK 38400 for both input and output. – Constant power is connected to the machine battery and the ignition lead is connected to a switched 12 V source.

DCM-300 Setup for Ag 262/372 § If the Ag. Remote display shows a message No AG 3000 found, the receiver is not communicating with the modem. Check the following: – Make sure the DCM-300 modem is unlocked for VRS operation. If the modem is not unlocked for VRS operation, the receiver will not communicate with the modem. – Check the cabling connection between the modem and port B of the receiver. If cable P/N 82133 is damaged, the receiver will not communicate with the modem. – Check power connections to the DCM-300 modem. The power lead must be connected to a constant 12 V source and the ignition lead must be connected to a switched 12 V source for operation.
