Installing the Modem 
This section will help you to successfully integrate the Boomer II OEM 
Modem into your custom application.  
When integrating a wireless modem, internal connections and 
placements are critical to a successful implementation. Specific 
attention must be paid to the following support mechanisms: 
 
Mechanical mounting 
 
Serial interface and control 
 
Antenna 
 
DC power 
 
Software 
 
Desense control (see page 132 for further information) 
The OEM wireless modem is well suited for mobile or fixed 
applications. Ruggedised and capable of operating in extreme 
environments, the modem can provide communications for a wide 
variety of products. 
Handheld Portable Terminal Use 
Without question, handheld designs produce the most hostile 
environment for an integrated modem. A handheld device, such as a 
portable terminal, is typically battery powered, subjected to 
temperature extremes, and designed to be physically robust. 
When designing portable devices, you must consider the following 
issues: 
 
DC power noise levels on the host/terminal interface 
 
Minimum operating voltage levels 
 
Shutdown procedures 
 
Device internal ambient temperature 
 
Antenna gain and proximity to user 
 
Repair and reprogramming facilities (pass-through mode of 
operation) 
 
Mechanical design for drop, vibration, dust, salt, and liquid spill 
NoteRegarding the mechanical design, the Boomer II OEM modem is 
designed assuming that the host/terminal controls these conditions.
 
Fixed Mount Usage 
Fixed-mount usage eliminates most of the mechanical constraints of 
handheld designs, although the requirements still apply. Fixed-mount 
units are sometimes AC-line powered and require filtering to eliminate 
the 50Hz or 60Hz noise that can impair modem operation, depending 
upon country of use.
