The SCRAM Smart Modem
The SCRAM Smart Modem is the communicator component of the system that collects data such as
alcohol readings and alarms from the SCRAM Bracelet via an RF communication link and downloads
the data to the Central Monitoring Station via a modem link through an existing telephone line. The
modem also receives data, such as alcohol testing schedules and alarm parameters through this link
and uploads it to the SCRAM Bracelet.
In order to transfer this data back and forth between the SCRAM Bracelet and the Central Monitoring
Station, the client must plug the Smart Modem into both an electrical outlet and a telephone outlet.
When the modem is receiving power, the yellow light will be on. The red and green lights will only
be on during the initialization process, which will take place in the program agency’s office.
The SCRAM Smart Modem
Experts recommend that the SCRAM Smart Modem resides in the client’s bedroom, preferably
within 25 feet of the bed, to ensure that the modem can upload alcohol readings between the hours of
12 a.m. and 6 a.m. each night.
