Description

Part Number

Hinged Right Angle 900/1800 MHz Cellular Modem Antenna

ANF1-1HRA

Hinged Right Angle 800/1900 MHz Cellular Modem Antenna

ANF2-1HRA

Hinged Right Angle 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Cellular Modem Antenna ANQB-1HRA

PTCRB Requirements Note

There cannot be any alteration to the authorized antenna system. The antenna system must be the same type with similar in-band and out-of-ban radiation patterns and maintain the same specifications.

FCC Requirements Note

The antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 3.0 dBi at 1900 MHz / 1.6 dBi at 850 MHz for mobile operating configurations and 7.0 dBi at 1900 MHz / 2.3 dBi at 850 MHz for fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 and 1.1307 of the rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Interfaces

The Wireless MultiModem has several interfaces:

LED function indicating operating status

External antenna (via SMA connector)

Serial and control link (via USB connector)

Microphone and speaker (via handset jack)

SIM card holder

LED Interface

 

LED Indicators

TD

Transmit Data. Lit when modem is transmitting data.

RD

Receive Data. Lit when modem is receiving data.

CD

Carrier Detect. Lit when data connection has been established.

LS

Line Status.

 

Continuous “on” state indicates that the wireless modem is not registered on the network.

 

Flashing state indicates registration on network.

 

Off state. Modem is off (not ready) or in download mode.

TR

Terminal Ready. Commonly called “Data Terminal Ready.” This is a readiness signal from the PC.

PWR

Power. Indicates presence of DC power when lit.

AT Command Reference Guides
