Introduction
The Boomer II OEM Modem Module is a radio packet modem,
intended for use on Motorola DataTAC 4000 SFR and DataTAC 5000
MFR data communication networks.
It is primarily designed to be integrated into customer equipment as an
OEM module, for use with an Enterprise Application Server running
wireless applications or as the RF communications enabler device for
telemetry products. There are two versions available,
800MHz version (A band) and
900MHz version (B band)
Messages from the end user are sent from the host/terminal through the
serial interface, and are transmitted by the modem when it is in
network contact. Messages to the end user are received and
acknowledged by the modem, then passed to the host/terminal.
Within an area of coverage, the modem performs auto-roaming (auto-
scanning, channel selection, and registration on a new channel). The
modem operates in either battery save or non-battery save modes, as
instructed by the network and overridden by the host/terminal. The
modem determines which RF protocol to use, based on the attributes
specified by the configured channel list, and dynamic channel
information from the network.
The modem interfaces to the host/terminal by using the data interface
port. The protocol supported over this link is the Native Control
Language (NCL). An emulated Hayes protocol is also supported.
Although the modem has embedded software, it has no built in
application software. All application software must be separately
installed and run from the host/terminal to which the modem is
connected. A Software Development Kit (SDK) is available and
described later in this manual to assist this process.
