6 DIFFERENTIATINGAMONGCOMPONENTS
6.1 INTERPRETINGMODEL(PART)NUMBER
The part number of a module typically represents
• the model number, which may indicate
• radio frequency band range.
• link distance range.
• whether the module is Cyclone Advantage.
• the factory-set encryption standard.
• the module type.
• whether the reflector dish is included.
• the antenna scheme of the module.
• whether adjustable power in the module is preset to low.
• the modulation capability.
Radio Frequency Band Range
The leading digits usually indicate the frequency band range in which the module can
operate. For example, if the part number is 5700BH, then the frequency band range of
the module is 5.7 GHz.

5700BH
An exception to this general rule is that the leading digits in the part number of 5.1-GHz
modules are 52. These modules are differentiated from 5.2-GHz modules by the leading
four digits (5202 for 5.1 GHz, 5200 for 5.2 GHz).
You cannot change the frequency band range of the module.
Link Distance Range or Cyclone Advantage
The third digit in the part number may indicate whether the module is an extended range,
Cyclone Advantage, or Cyclone model. 1 indicates extended range. For example, if the
part number is 5210BH, then the module is an extended range module. If the part
number is 5200BH, then the module is not an extended range model.

5200BH
6 in the third position (5760SM, for example) indicates Cyclone Lite. 5 in the third position
(5250AP, for example) indicates that the module is Cyclone Advantage. 0 in the third
position (5200AP, for example) indicates that the module is Cyclone. However, part
numbering for 900-MHz APs and SMs differs from this general rule. All APs and SMs in
this frequency band range are Cyclone Advantage, but none of their part numbers use 5
in the third position.
