DC (battery) or unregulated 9.5 to 18.0 volt power inputs. The unregulated power inputs are also suitable for use with 6.0 volt and 12.0 volt solar power systems. 2.4 Mechanical The BBI-14.4 consists of two printed circuit boards: A single two sided baseboard and a four layer modem board (Telenetics PE14.4) 0049-0001-000 Rev.B...
3. MODEM SPECIFICATIONS The BBI-14.4 modem capabilities are based upon the Rockwell RC144ACL modem chipset. Modem control is through the industry standard 'AT' command set. The BBI-14.4 provides all popular error correction and data compression capabilities. The BBI-14.4 provides the following modem features.
(3) connectors: the TTL levels are present on two (2) connectors; The BBI-14.4 RS-232E and TTL signals interfaces are independent. All RS-232E signals are internally connected together; likewise, all TTL signals are internally connected together. The RS-232E signals, though, are not internally connected to the TTL signals.

232E DTR signal will power up the BBI-14.4 and its RS-232E line drivers. Communication to and from the BBI-14.4 will be through the RS-232 E serial interface only. The TTL serial interface signals will be clamped at inactive signal levels. Also in this configuration, when incoming ring has been detected, the RS-232E interface will become active.
The BBI-14.4 contains telephone circuitry for connection to the public switched telephone network. The circuitry is suitable for loop start telephone lines. The BBI-14.4 has both primary and alternate telephone connectors. The primary connector is used for connecting RJ-11 terminated cabling. The alternate telephone connectors provide terminal strip wiring of telephone cabling.
6. POWER SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS The BBI-14.4 contains a low quiescent power regulator. The BBI-14.4 also has a "low power" standby mode which minimizes overall power requirements when the BBI-14.4 is used intermittently. 6.1 Power Supply Selection ~ The power supplies are selected through the use of a multi-pin ganged header (JP1A, B &...

If the BBI-14.4 determines the ring invalid, it returns to standby mode after 30 seconds. If the ring is valid, the BBI-14.4 will answer the call. (Note that the BBI-14.4B must be in the auto-answer mode, i.e.: S0=1 or greater, see Appendix B) 0049-0001-000 Rev.B...
7. ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS The BBI-14.4 meets the following environmental specifications. Operating Temperatures -40 to 85 Storage Temperature -55 to 100 Relative Humidity 0 to 95% non-condensing. Altitude 20,000 ft (operating), 40,000 ft (shipping). Vibration Effect Withstand 10 to 500 Hz at 1 g on any axis per SAMA PMC-31-1 without damage or impairment.
