4. Apply the internal antenna as shown paying attention to the antenna cable position.

   • Pull back the adhesive protective paper from the middle of the antenna, only exposing the middle portion. Antenna application is easier if just a small middle portion of the adhesive is uncovered.
   • Center the antenna on the side wall. Use the exposed adhesive in the middle of the antenna to hold the antenna in place while aligning the antenna to the full length of the housing.
   • Slowly peel off the paper backing exposing the adhesive and stick to the plastic housing. The antenna should run below the rim of the housing.
   • Press firmly.

5. Orient the cellular modem according to the diagram below and verify the pins are properly aligned. Verify the hole in the cell modem aligns with the hole on the DXM board, then firmly press the modem into the 24-pin socket.
   The cellular modem is inserted into the main board with the antenna cable from the applied internal antenna attached to the cellular modem PCB.

6. Attach the antenna cable between the cellular modem board to the base board. The antenna cable uses the top antenna connection.

Activate a 4G LTE or CAT M1 Cellular Plan

Activate a cellular plan for your DXM Controller using the Banner Cloud Data Services website.

1. Go to secure.bannercelldata.com to purchase cellular data plans.
2. If you have previously created an account, click Login and enter your username and password to continue.
3. If you are creating a login for the first time:
   • Select the region in which the device will operate.
   • Select the cellular subscription plan. Please use the calculator and regional coverage information to determine the plan needed for your device (https://support.bannercds.com/home/pricing/how-to-choose-a-cellular-service-plan).
   • Create a username and password (use an email address for the username).
   • Enter your payment information, mailing address, agree to the terms and conditions.
4. Go to the My Services and Equipment section.
5. Enter the SIM Number (ICCID) and the Module Number (IMEI). The ICCID is the 20-digit number of the SIM, the bottom barcode number on the SIM card carrier. If the carrier card is not available, the ICCID is also printed on the SIM card, but must be removed from its socket to be read. The IMEI is the 15-digit number on top of the 4G LTE device.
6. Click Activate.
   Note: Although new activations are typically functional in 20 minutes or less, it may take up to 24 hours for the cellular plan to become active on the wireless network.

Activate a Worldwide 4G LTE M/NB-IOT Cellular Plan (RED/CE)

The Worldwide 4G LTE-M/NB-IOT cellular modem is operational in those European countries that are members of the EU/EEA and adopt RED/CE compliant products. An international roaming SIM is provided with the Worldwide module and may be activated following the steps listed in Activate a 4G LTE or CAT M1 Cellular Plan on page 5. However, there may be regions that are not covered by the provided SIM card. In this case, a local SIM card must be activated and operated with this device to acquire connectivity services.

1. Work with the local Banner technical support person to identify and purchase machine-to-machine (M2M) (data plan only) SIM cards in 3FF ‘micro’ form factor. Typical monthly data use will be 20-50 MB per month. When choosing a plan, pay close attention to data rates and to SMS (text) rates.
2. When activating the SIM, note the Access Point Name (APN) that the SIM provider states to use with their SIM. The IMEI is the 15-digit number on top of the cell module PCB, below the words Telit ME910G1-WW and above the barcode. The ICCID is the 20-digit number printed on the SIM card itself.

Configure the DXM Controller for a Cellular Modem

Use the DXM Configuration Software to create a configuration using a cellular connection.
Important: Only the DXM100 and DXM150 models offer SMS/text messaging capabilities directly from the device. SMS/text messaging can be delivered using the BannerCDS web service from any DXM model.

1. Go to the Settings > Cloud Services screen.
2. Set the Push Interface to Cell All push data, SMS messages, or email alerts will be sent using the cellular modem.
3. Go to the Settings > Cellular screen. Under the Cell Configuration section, select the Cell module from the drop-down list.
   • For the United States (contiguous)—For Verizon LTE/CATM modems, select SXI-LTE-001 or SXI-CATM1VZW-001 and set the APN to vzwinternet.
   • For North America—For ATT LTE/CATM modems, select SXI-CATM1ATT-001 and set the APN to iot0119.com.attz.
   • For regions outside of North America—Select SXI-CATM1WW-001 and set the APN to m2m.tele2.com when using the SIM card provided with the kit from Banner Engineering. When using a local roaming SIM, please use the APN as suggested by your cellular connectivity (SIM) provider.
4. To send data to the webserver, complete the parameters on the Settings > Cloud Services screen. Set the Cloud push interval and the Web Server settings. (For more information, refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n 201127).

Important: Banner Engineering offers several prepackaged solutions that report to the Banner Cloud Data Services web-based software platform via cellular connectivity. Many of these solutions execute the data push using a ScriptBasic file instead of the XML configuration file. If you are using a Banner prepackaged solution (ex. SOLUTIONSKIT9-VIBE), then you do not need to set the Cloud Push Interval on the Settings > Cloud Services screen. You still need to set the Push Interface to Cell and select the appropriate Cell Module and APN. When the DXM Controller is configured to use the cellular modem, the information on the cellular modem is found on the LCD menu under System Info > Cell. The menu does not display values until a transaction with the wireless cell tower is complete. Figure 8. The Settings > Cellular screen

If there are no webserver parameters defined, the user must force a push to retrieve the data from the cellular network. On the LCD menu, select Push > Trigger Data Push. Obtaining LTE service outside of the Banner Cellular Data Plans—Customers have the option of securing a data plan for the Verizon network themselves without using the Banner cellular data portal (secure.bannercelldata.com). Suitable plans would include those available from Verizon directly or from a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) licensed to resell Verizon network data plans. (The SXI-LTE-001 or SXI-CATM1VZW-001 will not function on AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint networks.) When purchasing a data plan, it is important to refer to the modem by its official Verizon network name (for example, SENSX002) and give the IMEI number (found on the cellular modem) to the plan provider. To use the SIM card that comes with the cellular modem kit, give the SIM card number to the provider. The required SIM card form factor is 3FF – Micro.
