1.  About this Guide 
1.1. Introduction 
This Migration Guide is designed to assist application software developers who have experience 
with the DART 200 in porting applications for use with the new DART 300 CDPD modem. 
Installations will require changes to the DART configuration commands used on the DART 200 in 
order to use the DART 300 in its place.  There should not be a need to alter either local or remote 
system applications related to end-to-end communication.  Only the DART modem’s initial one-
time configuration needs to be converted. 
1.1.1. Document 
Structure 
This guide is organized into the following sections: 
• 
• 
Section 2, Sample Configurations, provides DART 300 equivalents of the samples 
that were included in the original DART 200 User Manual. 
• 
Section 3, Difference Summary, highlights the differences between the two models in 
areas such as: interfaces, operation, and control considerations, as well as 
specifications. 
• 
The final section, providing the command and register comparison, first presents the list of 
DART 200 commands and registers and their equivalents in the DART 300.  This list should allow 
you to translate any existing DART 200 configuration into an equivalent DART 300 set-up. 
There is then an additional list of commands, unique to the DART 300, with an explanation of 
how the DART 200 would achieve the same function.  This is provided to help users familiar with 
the DART 200 to better understand the commands available in the DART 300. 
1.2. References
