Skyus DS Installation Guide

Overview

The Skyus DS is a rugged, low-cost, self-contained modem kit that gives you the ability to switch carriers in the field.

The Skyus DS platform 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 major US carrier networks

•4G LTE support on major US carriers

•Two accessible SIM slots

•Carrier switching (reprogramming required)

•Integration with Crossroads IoT application framework

•GPS ready

•External SMA antenna ports

Skyus DS Installation Guide

Installation

The following sections describe the installation and initialization of the Skyus DS. This procedure assume that your

Skyus DS contains one or two activated SIMs.

Installation Summary

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

•Install the Sierra Wireless driver.

•(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.

•Activate the SIM, if necessary.

•Wait for Over-the-Air provisioning, if necessary.

•Install the 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 INSEEGO support.

Item Type Description

Skyus DS Included Skyus DS LTE Device with one or two SIMs installed

Cable Included USB 2.0 Type A Male to Mini B Male

Mounting Bracket Accessory Skyus DS mounting bracket

Antenna(s) Accessory Inseego offers several antennas that meet the Skyus DS antenna

specifications

Skyus DS Multi-

purpose Tool

Included Used for selecting the SIM port and for SIM insertion and ejection

Installing the Sierra Wireless Driver

The Skyus DS uses an internal Sierra Wireless radio module. Drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 8 based platforms

are provided in binary form by Sierra Wireless and are available for download on the Inseego website. For quick

connection, download a driver only package directly from the Skyus DS product page.

Under Skyus 4G Drivers click Download Files 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 Sierra Wireless 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 (sold separately). 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 mm from any person. When using multiple separate antennas for MIMO or Receive Diversity,

they should optimally be separated from each other by at least 20 mm.

Skyus DS Installation Guide

Figure 8: Antenna Connections

Connect the GPS antenna 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, Inseego recommends 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 Inseego 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

In most cases, your Skyus DS will include one or two SIMs that are already installed and activated. If you are using a

SIM that has not been activated, provide the IMEI and SIM IC (ICCID) from the device label to your Inseego

representative or carrier representative to activate your device.

Your device is ready to be activated only after the cellular carrier sets up an account and provides a phone number,

APN (Access Point Name), and/or IP address for your device. If you are not sure if your device has an account, contact

your sales representative or Inseego technical support.

Skyus DS Installation Guide

Provisioning

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.

The Skyus DS will provision over the air automatically upon initial power up. This process may take up to 45 minutes

to complete. Do not unplug the device or attempt to connect during provisioning.

Installing the Connection Manager

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

Inseego Skyus Watcher

Inseego Skyus Watcher (compatible only with the MC7354 radio) 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.

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

be downloaded from the Skyus DS product page. For information on the installation of the Skyus Watcher

application, please reference the Skyus Watcher User Guide in the Inseego Literature Library.

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.

Sierra Wireless Skylight

Sierra Wireless provides a connection utility compatible with Skyus devices that can manage connections and

display network coverage indication. For more information on Sierra Wireless Skylight go to the Sierra Wireless

website or contact your Inseego sales representative.

Accessing the SIM Slots

The SIM slots are located behind the Skyus DS faceplate, which you can remove by hand. The slots are numbered as

shown below. By default, SIM slot 1 is the active slot.
