Sierra Wireless DART 200 CDPD Modem manual New for this version, Dart 200 accessories and services

DART 200 CDPD Modem User’s Guide 1 Introduction

From a networking perspective, the modem has complete built-in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), and telnet protocols. Network communications can be achieved without the attached end-user device having to provide an integrated TCP or UDP capability. Select the desired built-in protocol included in the DART 200 by using the appropriate AT dial command and begin your data transfer. The end-user can put the DART 200 in SLIP mode, providing an external software stack, if desired.

A power cord with connector is supplied with each DART 200, and one copy of this User’s Guide is included with each order. A power supply and cellular antennas are available as options at additional cost.
