Ignite Skyus DS Installation Guide

Overview

The Skyus DS is a rugged, low-cost, self-contained modem kit that simplifies the integration efforts of adding mobile

connectivity in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and accelerates time-to market for creating connected devices. In

contrast to standalone radio modules, the Skyus DS uses a standard USB connection interface, making it readily

compatible with the largest choice of host devices.

Integration of the Skyus into a Windows based system requires at a minimum two high level components, the driver

and a mechanism to provide connection management. This document is intended to guide you through the process

of connecting the hardware and setting up these two components.

Skyus DS features include:

•Operation on T-Mobile networks

•Integration with Crossroads IoT application framework

•GPS ready

•External SMA antenna ports

Ignite Skyus DS Installation Guide

Installation

The following sections describe the installation and initialization of the Skyus DS.

Installation Summary

•Inspect the package contents and compare against the packing list.

•Download and install the Skyus DS drivers to your computer.

•(Optional) Install the Skyus DS mounting bracket and mount the unit to the bracket.

•Connect the antenna(s).

•Connect the Skyus DS to the computer or router using the USB cable.

•Install the Skyus Watcher connection manager.

Package Contents

Package contents depend on the accessories ordered. Compare the contents with the packing list. If any items are

missing or damaged, contact Ignite support.

Item Type Description

Skyus DS Included Skyus DS LTE Device with SIM installed

Cable Included USB 2.0 Type A Male to Mini B Male

Mounting Bracket Accessory Skyus DS mounting bracket

(2) Antennas Accessory LTE whip antennas

Installing the Skyus DS Driver

You will need a Windows 7 only- based OS installed on a computer or other computing device with Internet access,

independent of Ignite, in order to download the drivers and the Skyus Watcher software from

ignite.novatelwireless.com.

On the home page click Drivers and Documentation, then click Skyus DS T-Mobile Driver to begin downloading

the driver file for installation.

If you are working on the device you intend to use the Skyus DS with, proceed with installation on the local drive. If

you are working on a separate device from the one you intend to use the Skyus DS with, save the file to a portable

media device and use it to install the drivers on the separate device.

Begin the installation of the drivers by clicking on the executable driver installation file. The setup utility will start up.

A successful installation initialization should show a progress bar in the dialog box and display a message just above

the system tray.

Installing the Mounting Bracket

The Skyus DS attaches easily to the mounting bracket. The figure below shows the dimensions and mounting hole

locations of the plate. The hardware used to secure the bracket depends on the mounting surface. The Skyus DS

slides into the bracket and is held in place by retention clips.

Figure 7: Mounting Bracket Dimensions

Connecting Antennas

All SMA connectors should be tightened to 5 in-lbs. using a 5/16 torque wrench.

Note: It is not recommended that you use Loctite or other adhesive to secure cables to the SMA connectors.

If an adhesive is used, be sure that it is conductive, not Loctite Red or Blue.

Connect the first cellular antenna to the outermost SMA connector, labeled Primary in Figure 8. A second cellular

antenna can be attached to the innermost SMA connector labeled Diversity. This connector is used for Receive

Diversity for 3G connections or multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) for 4G LTE connections. Antennas should

be located at least 20 cm from any person. If you are not using the included whip antennas, the antennas should be

separated by at least 20 cm.

Figure 8: Antenna Connections

Connect a GPS antenna (if required in your application) to the middle SMA connector. The Skyus DS will operate with

most standard active GPS antennas. When installing a GPS antenna, place it where it has greater than 90° access to

the sky. For better performance, avoid coiling or binding the GPS cable.

Note: If you intend to use the GPS function, we recommend the use of a mag mount or radar dome antenna

that connects to the Skyus DS through an SMA extension cable for proper operation.

Note: It is not necessary to connect a GPS antenna if the GPS function of the Skyus DS is not being used. The

cellular functions of the Skyus DS operate as designed without a GPS antenna attached.

If you have questions about the appropriate antennas for your Skyus DS, contact your Ignite representative.

Connecting to a Computer or Router

Connect the Type A Male side of the enclosed USB cable to your computer or alternate host device. Connect the Mini

B Male side of the enclosed USB cable to the Skyus. Power is provided by the USB cable. Once connected, the Skyus

DS will power up and attempt to register to the carrier.

Figure 9: Type A Male USB Figure 10: Type Mini B Male USB

Activation

The Ignite Skyus DS is activated prior to shipping. No additional action is required on your part for activation.

Installing the Connection Manager

Skyus DS customers using Windows operating systems have two choices for connection management.

Skyus Watcher

Skyus Watcher is designed to manage the connection to the cellular network and provides a connection watchdog,

connection and GPS status reporting, and logging functionality appropriate for IoT applications where 24x7

connectivity is desired. Once your device is activated and you connect to the cellular carrier for the first time, your

device will perform over the air provisioning if necessary.

GPS

Ignite Skyus DS Installation Guide

Skyus Watcher is available after signing an End User Licensing Agreement (EULA). Skyus Watcher can be

downloaded from the Ignite downloads page. For information on the installation of the Skyus Watcher application,

please reference the Skyus Watcher User Guide.

Windows Mobile Broadband

The Skyus DS is compatible with the Windows Mobile Broadband connection management functionality built into

Windows 7 and Windows 8. Users can manage cellular connections in the Windows Network and Sharing Center.

This form of connection management is not recommended in applications demanding 24x7 connectivity. Using this

connection manager will disable Crossroads remote monitoring.
