Installation steps 1 through 3 below support user installation and configuration of a Spread
Spectrum Modem.
1. Mount the radio (Spread Spectrum Modem) onto the Expansion Comm. Module. Remove
the nut and washer from the internal coaxial RF cable supplied with the ECOM Module.
Remove the plug from the front of the ECOM Cover and insert the in-ternal coaxial RF
cable's SMA connector (straight end with flat area on top) through the rear of the
ECOM Cover. Install the washer and nut to secure the internal coaxial RF cable to the
front of the ECOM Cover. Install the other end of the internal coaxial RF cable to the
radio's RF antenna connector. Install the Expansion Comm. Module into Slot 3 or 4 of a
base ControlWave EFM unit.
2. Install the user supplied coaxial RF cable between the ECOM cover's SMA connector
(installed in step 1) and the remote antenna. Note: A Polyphaser may be placed between
the antenna and the radio's SMA connector via two user supplied RF cables.
3. For FreeWave Radio: Follow the Tuning Transceiver Performance" section of the
FreeWave Technologies Inc. FreeWave Spread Spectrum Wireless Data Transceiver
User Manual to configure the radio.
For MDS Radio: Refer to section 3.3 "Initial Power-Up & Configuration" within the
MDS TransNet OEM Integration Guide and if necessary for more information on
connecting a PC terminal and preparing it for use, refer to section 9.0
"PROGRAMMING REFERENCE."
To invoke the setup program, connect the radio (via ECOM1 port COM4 or
ECOM2 port COM8) to a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) via a null
modem cable (see Figures 2-12, 2-13A & 2-13B), put the radio into setup mode
and set the parameters for the terminal to those of Table 2-7. The setup
program is invoked by connecting Pins 1 and 2 of ECOM Bd. Jumper Post JP2.

2.3.3.5 Piggy-back 56K PSTN Modem Port (see Appendix D)
An optional 56K PSTN Hayes type Modem can be mounted piggy-back on each Expansion
Communications Module and is assigned port status as follows: COM7 for ECOM1 and
COM11 for ECOM2. The Model MT5634SMI Modem module is manufactured by MultiTech
System and can be user configured for PSTN operation. DTE/DCE serial data can be
clocked into (transmit) or out of (receive) the modem at a rate up to 115.2kHz.
