Product Descriptions The SB300 Series modems are designed for integration into devices that require wireless communications such as PC’s, portable and handheld devices, metering and monitoring equipment, and point of sale terminals. All models provide CDPD V1.1 19.2 kbps communication. The SB320 also supports Circuit Switched Cellular (CSC-AMPS) V.34 data rates to 16.8 kbps, and wireline (PSTN) V.34 data rates to 33.6 kbps. Packet Assembly / Disassembly (PAD) services are available in the modem for TCP and UDP communications. SLIP and PPP are also supported for host based protocol stacks. This chapter provides descriptions and specifications for the family. Individual modems are described in separate sections below. All connector parts described are tabulated with mating part numbers and supplier contact information in Section 9.2.5 below. The SB300 and SB320 share common physical and interface characteristics. The SB300 and 302 share common functional characteristics. 9.1. Hardware Integration Considerations When integrating one of the SB300 Series modems, read Sections 9.2 Specifications Common to All Modems, and then the specific section for the model being integrated. In addition, the following items need to be addressed by the integrator: Mounting • • • Effects of shock and vibration. Protection from dust and dirt in connections. Heat dissipation. RF • • Shielding and filtering, and impacts on interference and sensitivity. Antenna location and type, and impacts on RF performance. Regulatory Approvals Although the modems were tested on their own to be compliant with FCC Parts 15 and 22, your completed installation must be certified to meet regulatory requirements in your area. In the USA To use the modems in the United States of America without additional FCC certifications you must: 1. Use an antenna providing a total system ERP (effective radiated power) not exceeding 1.5 watts for operations with the antenna located at more than 20 cm from all persons. If the system exceeds 1.5 watts ERP then separate submissions to the FCC are required. 2. Place a warning label on the antenna (if stand-alone) or attached to the final product visible to all persons exposed to the transmitter (if the antenna is integral with the final product). This label must state: 2110059 Rev 1.1 Proprietary and Confidential Page 69 The Hardware View SB300 Series “WARNING: While this device is in operation, a separation distance of at least 20cm must be maintained between the radiating antenna and the body of all persons exposed to the transmitter to meet FCC exposure guidelines.” 3. The word “WARNING” should be placed in front of or above the warning statement included in documentation and also in the actual warning label on the antenna or final product. This warning label is not required when Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance of a final product configuration is approved through a separate FCC equipment authorization approval. Otherwise, the warning label is required on the antenna or final product in order to meet separating distance requirements to satisfy the FCC RF exposure requirements. Product documentation should include warnings and disclaimers. Sierra Wireless strongly recommends including warnings similar to those found on pages i and ii of this Guide. The following warnings must appear in a prominent location: The equipment certifications appropriate to your device are marked on the device and the accompanying product specific information.
