Sierra Wireless PINPOINT X HSUPA - Manual (Page 27)

Hardware Installation of the PinPoint X
Rev 4.0 Oct.09 21
The DC power cable positive lead should be connected to the
battery or power source positive terminal. The power cable
negative lead should be connected to the battery or power
source negative terminal.
The battery cable used for a car, truck, or other mobile
connection must be less than 3 meters in length.
The PinPoint X has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that
opens at 0.5 to 1.0 amps of current.
If you wish to use the Standby Ignition Sense (SISE) feature of
your PinPoint X, the white wire of the three wire DC power
cable should be used to connect to your ignition. When SISE is
enabled in the modem and the ignition sense connector is
wired to your vehicle, the ignition sense will provide a link to
the modem to enable it to enter a low‐power, standby mode
when your vehicle is turned off and power up more quickly
when the ignition is started.

Warning: Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect

Connecting to a Computer or other
Device
Figure 4-4: Ethernet
The Ethernet port of your PinPoint X can be connected directly
to a computer or other Ethernet device with either a cross‐over
cable or a straight‐through cable. The Ethernet port on the
PinPoint X is auto‐sensing and will auto‐detect the speed of the
connecting device for 100baseTX or 10baseT. If you are
connecting the modem to a hub or switch you should use a
straight through cable or use the uplink port on the hub or
switch with a cross‐over cable.
